When HEQ7 stops trading

Trading terminates on the 10th business day of the contract month. For HEQ7 that falls on August 13, 2027.

Senzoukria stops offering HEQ7 as the default contract on August 9, 2027, 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 HEQ7 the next listed delivery is HEV7, whose last trading day is October 14, 2027. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of HEN7 on July 10, 2027.

What one tick is worth on HEQ7

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.025, which is $10.00 per contract on a multiplier of 400. A full point is therefore $400.00. 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 HE 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 HEQ7 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every HE delivery listed in 2027

HE lists 8 delivery months a year (G, J, K, M, N, Q, V, Z). HEQ7 is number 6 of 8 in 2027.
