How long each halt lasts
Median halt length measured from our own records over the last 180 days (only halts that resumed).
| Code | What it is | Halts | Median length |
|---|---|---|---|
| LUDP | Volatility Pause (LULD) | 1033 | 5 min |
| M | Volatility Trading Pause (LULD) | 381 | 5 min |
| T1 | News Pending | 311 | 13.2 hrs |
| T12 | Info Requested by Exchange | 31 | — |
| H11 | Regulatory Concern | 10 | — |
Length is only half the question. We also measured where these stocks reopen: what happens after a trading halt breaks down, code by code, how often a halted stock closes above the price it halted at.
Frequently asked questions
Which stocks get halted most, why they halt repeatedly, and what the halt codes and durations mean - from our own trade-halt data.
- Which stocks get halted the most?
- Over the last 30 days the most-halted US stocks were $FVNNU (13 halts), $WZRD (10 halts), $RIBBU (9 halts). Stocks that halt repeatedly are almost always low-float, high-volatility small-caps that keep tripping the LULD volatility circuit as they run. This page ranks them by how many times each was halted, updated daily.
- Why do some stocks get halted over and over in one day?
- An LULD (Limit Up / Limit Down) volatility halt only pauses a stock for about five minutes. On a fast-moving small-cap, price keeps moving as soon as it resumes, so it trips the band again - and again. A single runner can rack up several halts in a session. That repeated halting is exactly what this ranking surfaces.
- What do the halt codes mean?
- LULD / LUDP are volatility pauses (moved too fast, ~5 minutes). T1 is news pending, T12 means the exchange requested more information, M is a single-stock volatility pause on the NYSE feed, and H-codes are regulatory. The code-frequency table above shows how common each is in our data, and the duration table shows how long each typically lasts.
- Where does this halt data come from?
- This ranking is built from our own halt archive, captured from the official Nasdaq trade-halt feed since July 20, 2026. We record every halt with its exchange code, reason, price and day move, then keep the history so trends like "most-halted this month" are answerable - detail the generic exchange list does not keep.
- How can I see halts as they happen?
- This page is a rolling 30-day ranking. For live halts and resumes as they fire, open the free Halt Scanner or the Stock Halts Today page. New accounts get 5 free premium days.
