AAPL, annoying $542.80 print

They halted the stock because of it.

Interesting that you can circuit-break a stock that way, someone might try to manipulate another stock in the future.
 
I've seen it before, but not usually in a stock like AAPL. I just caught the news that it was halted. Glad I don't have to figure out a position. Normally the little guy gets screwed in these situations. Options didn't move, so I figured something was wrong. Interesting if a real explanation is given or some pile of crap.
 
Interestingly, Schwab was giving new price prints before IB. I find that interesting, and another annoyance. Never got a message from either that trading was halted in AAPL. SHowing price discepancy between the two also. Who do I call and ask what the hel is going on? Sucks being retail some days.
 
The red bar alert came up on IB for Apple. Also the quote showed the price + "H" next to it.

Didn't see red bar, but did see H...and admit ignorance. What does H mean? I had no other alerts so would like to know if I missed something in my reading on the platform.
Thanks
 
Ok, hard to argue that it doesn't make sense, and maybe I missed that in the system info. , but the lack of notification is annoying. Lack of system note, beyond just a "H" in my favorites list.
