Every 6J delivery listed in 2026
6J trades 4 delivery months in 2026 (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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6JH6 | Mar 2026 | Mar 16, 2026 | Mar 12, 2026 |
| 6JM6 | Jun 2026 | Jun 15, 2026 | Jun 11, 2026 |
| 6JU6 | Sep 2026 | Sep 14, 2026 | Sep 10, 2026 |
| 6JZ6 | Dec 2026 | Dec 14, 2026 | Dec 10, 2026 |
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 6J is worth
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.0000005, which is $6.25 per contract on a multiplier of 12500000. A full point is $12,500,000.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a 6J footprint and the P&L on a 6J position come from the same numbers.
