it can vary...this weekend it started narrowing 15:00-15:15 (est) and will return usually at 20:00 (est) Sunday

You can look here for last weekend: (est times)

So it's not a fixed time? It actually varies from weekend from weekend?

Well its been the same...but just keep in mind that its possible for them to change it....AND IT WILL HAPPEN SOMEDAY. Probably the day when I try to trade it!

Have you noticed whether there is a correlation with the options expire times ?
