A phrase made popular by program trading, it is the last trading hour on the third Friday of March, June, September and December when options and futures on stock indexes expire concurrently (used by program traders to hedge their positions in stocks). The simultaneous expirations often set off heavy buying and selling of options, futures and the underlying stocks themselves, thus creating the “triple” witching hour.
