“Witching hour” refers to the last hour of trading on days, normally the third Friday of the month, when there is a simultaneous expiry of options and futures in derivatives markets. Traders who don’t roll-over into a new contract are forced to cover their positions, which can lead to massive intra-day volatility in underlying markets.<\/p>\n

“Quadruple witching” happens four times each year — on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December — when index futures, index options, stock futures, and stock options expire simultaneously.
