Several CME Group markets including the Equity Indexes are at lock limit or trading halts. Lock limits are used by exchanges to regulate market volatility.

If you are a NinjaTrader Brokerage client and unable to exit a position in these markets, please be aware this is likely due to a lock limit or market halt. In addition, due to the risk presented by significant market swings, exchange initial margins for CME products will be in effect until further notice.
