When GFU0 stops trading
Trading terminates on the last Thursday of the contract month. For GFU0 that falls on September 26, 2030.
Senzoukria stops offering GFU0 as the default contract on September 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
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 GFU0 the next listed delivery is GFV0, whose last trading day is October 31, 2030. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of GFQ0 on August 25, 2030.
What one tick is worth on GFU0
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 GFU0 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). GFU0 is number 6 of 8 in 2030.
