The system of halting transaction at Stock Exchange for a specific duration or for the whole day is known as CIRCUIT BREAKER.

When Circuit Breaker is needed…

Example of Bombay Stock Exchange – Need for Circuit Breaker

Price Band Price Band is applicable on individual securities. The trading of the

individual securities are not halted but allowed to trade within the price range.

The price band is 10 percent of previous close on either way. During the ATO (At the opening) session the range is 5 percent on either way of previous close price. After the band is 2 percent on either way of the last traded price till it reaches to 10 percent of the previous close.
