Important times during a trading day

[chart pig]

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?

Important for what?

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??

Depends on the instrument you're trading.

SPY options primarily but stock options as well.

we could narrow it down to the equity market if that helps?
