Isn’t there a halting mechanism that is activated when the trading becomes very unstable? Like a market tank?

The halting mechanism kicks in for several different reasons. The markets tanking is one of them. Another is unusual volume across a market sector, and sudden drops that occur in a matter of seconds.

I think there's a few others which escape me at the moment.

Difference being they announce those halts, based on rules already in place.

That’s what I thought. I studied for the Series 6 once many years ago.
