    I don't day trade per se. I do it but am far from a day trader. So, to any day traders, what are all of the key times you watch during the trading day?

    I don't know!! haha. I only know some day traders watch specific times during the day for algo trades or key times wall street does something of notice. I know the times toward the end of the day when margin calls go out to hedge funds but from open until 2:30pm day traders are always talking about "key times" for certain events??
