The date that matters on GCG7
The first notice day of GCG7 is January 29, 2027, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on January 27, 2027.
This date is not the last trading day. A metal contract keeps quoting into its delivery month, but past the first notice day it is deliverable, liquidity collapses, and most brokers and prop firms liquidate what is left. Senzoukria therefore anchors its roll two business days before the first notice day and never offers a contract already in its delivery period.
GCG7 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, February 24, 2027, the third-to-last business day of its delivery month, but that session sits inside the delivery period and is not where the volume is.
Senzoukria stops offering GCG7 as the default contract on January 23, 2027, 4 calendar days before that roll anchor, 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
Metal contracts stay quoted into their delivery month, but the volume leaves before the first notice day. The active month is rarely the one whose name matches the calendar, so checking the date rather than the month name is the habit that avoids trading a dying contract.
For GCG7 the next listed delivery is GCJ7, whose roll anchor is March 29, 2027. That is the contract the volume moves into.
What one tick is worth on GCG7
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.1, which is $10.00 per contract on a multiplier of 100. A full point is therefore $100.00. 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 0.1 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of GC 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 GCG7 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every GC delivery listed in 2027
GC lists 6 delivery months a year (G, J, M, Q, V, Z). GCG7 is number 1 of 6 in 2027.

GCG7 and MGCG7 side by side
GC and MGC track the same underlying, but GC is 10 times the size of MGC: $10.00 a tick against $1.00. Both quote on the same 0.1 tick. GCG7 and MGCG7 share the same roll anchor, January 27, 2027, so a position in either rolls on the same date.
The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MGC lets a 10-contract position carry the same exposure as one GC, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; GC carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MGC.

Frequently asked questions
- When does GCG7 stop being tradable in practice?
- The roll anchor of GCG7 is January 27, 2027. The first notice day is the last business day of the month preceding the delivery month; the official last trading day is the third-to-last business day of the delivery month itself. This date is not the last trading day. A metal contract keeps quoting into its delivery month, but past the first notice day it is deliverable, liquidity collapses, and most brokers and prop firms liquidate what is left. Senzoukria therefore anchors its roll two business days before the first notice day and never offers a contract already in its delivery period.
- When should I roll out of GCG7?
- The app switches its default to the next listed month on January 23, 2027, which is GCJ7. In practice the volume moves before the calendar does, so compare the traded volume and open interest of the two months rather than waiting for the roll anchor.
- How much is one tick of GCG7 worth?
- One tick of 0.1 is $10.00 per contract, and a full point is $100.00, on a multiplier of 100.
- Does GCG7 really stop trading on January 27, 2027?
- No. GCG7 keeps quoting until February 24, 2027, the third-to-last business day of its delivery month. January 27, 2027 is the roll anchor Senzoukria uses, two business days before the first notice day, because past that point the contract is deliverable and the liquidity is gone.
