Quadtruple Witching Friday...

[Digger0144]

What Is Quadruple Witching?

The term quadruple witching refers to the date on which certain derivatives contracts expire simultaneously. This happens with four different types of contracts, including stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures. Quadruple witching dates occur four times a year on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. Market activity on these days is typically highest during the last trading hour as traders try to move on these contracts.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Quadruple witching refers to a date on which derivatives of stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures expire simultaneously.
• This event occurs once every quarter, on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December.
• Quadruple witching days witness heavy trading volume partly because of the offsetting of existing futures and options contracts that are profitable.
• Investors may take advantage of the increased volume and arbitrage opportunities that result from quadruple witching.
• Quadruple witching does not necessarily translate to increased volatility in the markets.

Some entities got caught on the wrong side...
