When BTCJ0 stops trading

Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For BTCJ0 that falls on April 26, 2030.

Senzoukria stops offering BTCJ0 as the default contract on April 22, 2030, 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

Crypto futures at CME expire monthly and settle against a reference rate rather than a physical asset. Liquidity concentrates in the front month and thins quickly once the roll has passed.

For BTCJ0 the next listed delivery is BTCK0, whose last trading day is May 31, 2030. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of BTCH0 on March 25, 2030.

What one tick is worth on BTCJ0

The minimum price fluctuation is 5, which is $25.00 per contract on a multiplier of 5. A full point is therefore $5.00. 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 5 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of BTC 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 BTCJ0 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every BTC delivery listed in 2030

BTC lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). BTCJ0 is number 4 of 12 in 2030.

BTCJ0 and MBTJ0 side by side

BTC and MBT track the same underlying, but BTC is 50 times the size of MBT: $25.00 a tick against $0.50. Both quote on the same 5 tick. BTCJ0 and MBTJ0 share the same last trading day, April 26, 2030, so a position in either rolls on the same date.

The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MBT lets a 50-contract position carry the same exposure as one BTC, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; BTC carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MBT.
