When GFK9 stops trading
Trading terminates on the last Thursday of the contract month. For GFK9 that falls on May 31, 2029.
Senzoukria stops offering GFK9 as the default contract on May 27, 2029, 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 GFK9 the next listed delivery is GFQ9, whose last trading day is August 30, 2029. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of GFJ9 on April 22, 2029.
What one tick is worth on GFK9
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 GFK9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every GF delivery listed in 2029
GF lists 8 delivery months a year (F, H, J, K, Q, U, V, X). GFK9 is number 4 of 8 in 2029.
