What Can I Do During a Trading Halt?

Although you cannot execute trades in a halted security while the halt is in effect, there are still several important actions you can take to prepare for when trading resumes.

First, review the official reason for the halt. Many trading halts occur because a company is releasing material news, such as earnings results, acquisition announcements, or other significant corporate developments. Understanding why the halt occurred can help you make more informed decisions once trading resumes.

Second, monitor official announcements from the company and the relevant stock exchange. Avoid relying solely on rumours or social media speculation, as information shared before official confirmation may be inaccurate or incomplete.

You can also review your investment strategy and determine whether you plan to continue holding the investment, adjust your position, or place a new order after trading resumes. Preparing in advance can help you avoid making rushed decisions during periods of increased market volatility.

Although the halted security cannot be traded during the suspension, you can generally continue using other features within your Raseed account, including viewing your portfolio, researching investments, and monitoring other securities that remain actively traded.
