Web Trader MT5
On the third Friday of March, June, September, and December, three types of US derivatives expire together: stock options, stock-index options, and stock-index futures. The event is called triple witching. Traders and funds may need to close, roll, or replace large positions before expiry. This can produce heavy trading volume, especially near the closing auction. It does not guarantee that the market will rise, fall, or become extremely volatile. Many positions are prepared in advance, and opposite transactions can balance each other. The term describes the calendar event and the combination of expiring contracts, not a chart pattern.
