The halt is a feature, not a glitch. It is a forced timeout against a stampede. The exchange is not protecting the price. It is protecting you from the version of you that trades at minus ten percent.

Liquidity vanishes exactly when you want it. A lower circuit means the bids are gone. You cannot sell into a freeze at any price. Every plan to get out if it drops quietly assumes a buyer who is no longer there.

If a 45 min freeze changes your decision, the position was the problem. Size and time horizon get decided before the bell, not during the auction. A SIP does not notice the screen is frozen.
