Trade Break Meaning

A trade break occurs when a previously executed trade is cancelled, reversed, or amended due to an error or exceptional circumstance. Causes may include incorrect pricing, invalid order parameters, system malfunctions, or violations of trading rules.

Trade breaks are typically governed by exchange policies and time-bound review processes. Once identified, affected trades may be adjusted or nullified to restore market integrity and protect participants from unintended exposure.

For institutional traders, trade breaks introduce operational and counterparty risk, making pre-trade validation, execution monitoring, and post-trade reconciliation essential components of trading infrastructure.
