When HEZ9 stops trading
Trading terminates on the 10th business day of the contract month. For HEZ9 that falls on December 14, 2029.
Senzoukria stops offering HEZ9 as the default contract on December 10, 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.
HEZ9 is the last 2029 delivery listed for HE, so the volume moves into the first 2030 contract.
What one tick is worth on HEZ9
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 HEZ9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every HE delivery listed in 2029
HE lists 8 delivery months a year (G, J, K, M, N, Q, V, Z). HEZ9 is number 8 of 8 in 2029.
