Why would a high amount of trades trigger circuit breakers? That is just network traffic not power load, no?

- TaylorAlexander 2y agoI assume “circuit breakers” is a technical term for some automatic system that is built in to the market to activate if some condition occurs, to alter market behavior.
- iamacyborg 2y agoHigh amount of trades doesn’t, but the drops are what’s triggering the breakers.
- djsavvy 2y agoCircuit breakers are the term for exchanges shutting down trading if there’s unusual activity like too much of a price swing in one day.
- QuesnayJr 2y agoThey're not literal circuit breakers. "Circuit breaker" is the name for exchanges rules that stop trading when the price does something crazy.
- user42211 2y agoOk that makes sense thanks
- 7734128 2y agoNot literal circuit breakers.
- Ekaros 2y agoJapanese markets limit the maximum amount stock can move in single day. These limits are known as circuit breaks, basically when you get over current that is too much drop it shuts off. Not sure if there is same for other direction too.
