Every 6B delivery listed in 2029
6B trades 4 delivery months in 2029 (H, M, U, Z). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.
The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: H = March, M = June, U = September, Z = December. The digit that follows is the year.
| Contract | Delivery | Last trading day | Default rolls on |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6BH9 | Mar 2029 | Mar 19, 2029 | Mar 15, 2029 |
| 6BM9 | Jun 2029 | Jun 18, 2029 | Jun 14, 2029 |
| 6BU9 | Sep 2029 | Sep 17, 2029 | Sep 13, 2029 |
| 6BZ9 | Dec 2029 | Dec 17, 2029 | Dec 13, 2029 |
The rule that sets these dates
Trading terminates at 9:16 a.m. CT on the second business day immediately preceding the third Wednesday of the contract month.
When the volume moves between these months
Currency futures roll quarterly, and the open interest moves in the days around the roll rather than on the last trading day. The expiring month keeps quoting until delivery, but its book is too thin to read an auction on.
What one tick of 6B is worth
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.0001, which is $6.25 per contract on a multiplier of 62500. A full point is $62,500.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a 6B footprint and the P&L on a 6B position come from the same numbers.
