Posted by vikas on May 18, 2009, 5:03 am I want to know whats the criteria of deciding the circuit on a particular share . Sometimes share closes/ends at 5% circuit sometimes @ 10 % and sometimes the same share @ 15 % how is it decided ?

"a draft proposal that appears to be from the SEC, indicating that if the closing price of a security declines 20 percent or more, members and member organizations of the stock exchanges would be prohibited from short selling that security for three trading days" Posted by vikas on May 19, 2009, 5:16 am > > > I want to know whats the criteria of deciding the circuit on a > > particular share .

Say for example in case of Godrej ind circuit may be of 10 % or 20 % . I want to know whats the deciding criterion to decide circuit limit for a particular day .

What market are you talking about? The Indian market? The US markets do not currently have circuit breakers for individual stocks. I know nothing about the Indian market.
