Strategy Description: This trade is virtually identical to buying a normal washout but I just wanted to note some price behaviour around the volatility halt which can result in incredible entries.
As beginning to scale in on the washout (ideally don't have any before the halt of course); provided that don't have any size, when it unhalts you want to be bidding below the volatility halt as it is likely to be very spready and all over the place when it unhalts for a few moments (in this case about 4 minutes, but could easily be just a moment). This way you get some incredible entries, rather than just paying up and around the halt price.
Also after the spready behaviour to the downside if it fails to continue down then it is highly likely that is the bottom. Which makes a lot of sense when you consider that the halt is a sign of a massive speed up and flush, so if it doesn't continue down after halt it has reached its max speed to the downside.
