TL;DR: As of 9:45 PM ET on September 30, 2026, Tapeboard tracked 38 trading halts during the session. The most recent halt was BGM, halted at 7:50 PM ET with reason "News pending" (T1).

Trading on September 30, 2026 produced 38 halts across U.S. exchanges: 31 LULD/volatility pauses, 3 T1 news-pending halts, and 4 other regulatory halts (one T3 and three T12s). LQDA was the day's most notable name, halted four times — including an extended pause that stretched from late morning into the early afternoon before a T3 halt was issued. Most of the day's activity was routine: small-cap names that triggered a circuit breaker under the LULD halt bands and resumed within five minutes. LGHL was halted five separate times, the most of any single ticker, while KUST, MYPS, and BGM each drew a T1 halt at 7:50 PM ET pending material news. If you review sessions like this in a trading journal, tools such as TraderVue can help tag halt-affected trades for later study.

Halt-by-Halt Summary

LQDA was the session's standout, halted three times under LUDP volatility rules before NASDAQ issued a T3 halt at 11:38 AM ET; its second LUDP pause, beginning at 11:31 AM ET, ran until 1:40 PM ET, well beyond the standard five-minute window. LGHL was halted five times across the day, all LUDP volatility pauses on NASDAQ, each resuming within minutes.

What Is an LULD Halt?

A Limit Up-Limit Down halt pauses trading when a stock's price moves more than a defined percentage away from its recent five-minute average. The bands are 5% for most large-cap S&P 500 names, 10% for smaller stocks, and 20% for stocks under $3. Most LULD halts last five minutes.

What Does a T1 Halt Mean?

A T1 halt is a regulatory pause pending the release of material news. It has no fixed duration and resumes when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained.
