Circuit Breakers

- When the lead month contract hits ±5% of the previous closing price for 1 minute, and the difference between the current price and the theoretical price is ± 3% or more, the trading of all contracts are halted for next five minutes. For the next ten minutes following the cooling-off period, orders are collected and then matched at a single price. As well, the futures and options markets are automatically suspended if the stock market is halted. Trading in the stock market is halted for twenty minutes if the KOSPI falls 10% or more from the previous closing value and this continues for one minute or longer.
