main reason for halt today....

As per stock exchange law, circuit breaks can be triggered when a stock climbs at least 10 per cent in a five-minute period, which appears to be the case with the six marijuana stocks halted today....no panic

These tripwires were put in place after substantial crashes caused by automated trading systems.
