Every HO delivery listed in 2028
HO trades 12 delivery months in 2028 (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.
The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: F = January, G = February, H = March, J = April, K = May, M = June, N = July, Q = August, U = September, V = October, X = November, Z = December. The digit that follows is the year.

The rule that sets these dates
Trading terminates on the last business day of the month preceding the delivery month.
When the volume moves between these months
Energy contracts expire monthly, so the roll is a routine of every month rather than every quarter. Volume leaves the expiring month several sessions before its last trading day, and the spread between the two months widens as it does.
What one tick of HO is worth
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.0001, which is $4.20 per contract on a multiplier of 42000. A full point is $42,000.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a HO footprint and the P&L on a HO position come from the same numbers.
