When GFJ0 stops trading
Trading terminates on the last Thursday of the contract month. For GFJ0 that falls on April 25, 2030.
Senzoukria stops offering GFJ0 as the default contract on April 21, 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
Livestock contracts follow the production calendar, so the listed months are uneven and the gap between two deliveries can be two months. The active month is the one carrying the volume.
For GFJ0 the next listed delivery is GFK0, whose last trading day is May 30, 2030. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of GFH0 on March 24, 2030.
What one tick is worth on GFJ0
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.025, which is $12.50 per contract on a multiplier of 500. A full point is therefore $500.00. 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 0.025 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of GF 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 GFJ0 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every GF delivery listed in 2030
GF lists 8 delivery months a year (F, H, J, K, Q, U, V, X). GFJ0 is number 3 of 8 in 2030.
