6EM8 expiry: June 19, 2028

When 6EM8 stops trading

Trading terminates at 9:16 a.m. CT on the second business day immediately preceding the third Wednesday of the contract month. For 6EM8 that falls on June 19, 2028.

Senzoukria stops offering 6EM8 as the default contract on June 15, 2028, 4 calendar days before that last trading day, and keeps it selectable with a badge. The date is computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date that falls next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar. Check the exchange calendar when the date sits close to a holiday.

When the volume actually leaves

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.

For 6EM8 the next listed delivery is 6EU8, whose last trading day is September 18, 2028. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of 6EH8 on March 9, 2028.

What one tick is worth on 6EM8

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.00005, which is $6.25 per contract on a multiplier of 125000. A full point is therefore $125,000.00. On a footprint chart one row is one tick, so the same vertical space holds a different number of rows depending on the product: a tick of 0.00005 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of 6E can be read.

These are the values the app itself trades on, taken from its contract table rather than retyped, so the P&L shown on a 6EM8 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every 6E delivery listed in 2028

6E lists 4 delivery months a year (H, M, U, Z). 6EM8 is number 2 of 4 in 2028.

6EM8 and M6EM8 side by side

6E and M6E track the same underlying, but 6E is 10 times the size of M6E: $6.25 a tick against $1.25. They do not share a tick: 6E quotes in 0.00005 and M6E in 0.0001, so the same move shows a different number of footprint rows on each. 6EM8 and M6EM8 share the same last trading day, June 19, 2028, so a position in either rolls on the same date.

The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. M6E lets a 10-contract position carry the same exposure as one 6E, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; 6E carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in M6E.
