Once a market goes Locked Limit Down or Up, what determines when the halt ends? Can it stay locked for days on end?

 

I head of my friends father who got stuck in a gold contract for like a week and it was moving against him and he couldn't get out. Is this typical only in the past or can this happen today too....for days on end?

Yes it can stay there for days.

 

I've experienced that with lumber (quite common on lumber) and live cattle when some fools took fright about mad cow disease.

Time and the market determines the next move.

this is one of the reasons i mostly trade ags through spreads, instead of outright directional trades.

 

How do you trade spreads? Using different time contracts of the same product?
