Every 6E delivery listed in 2030
6E trades 4 delivery months in 2030 (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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6EH0 | Mar 2030 | Mar 18, 2030 | Mar 14, 2030 |
| 6EM0 | Jun 2030 | Jun 17, 2030 | Jun 13, 2030 |
| 6EU0 | Sep 2030 | Sep 16, 2030 | Sep 12, 2030 |
| 6EZ0 | Dec 2030 | Dec 16, 2030 | Dec 12, 2030 |
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 6E is worth
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.00005, which is $6.25 per contract on a multiplier of 125000. A full point is $125,000.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a 6E footprint and the P&L on a 6E position come from the same numbers.
