When HON8 stops trading
Trading terminates on the last business day of the month preceding the delivery month. For HON8 that falls on June 30, 2028.
Senzoukria stops offering HON8 as the default contract on June 26, 2028, 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
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.
For HON8 the next listed delivery is HOQ8, whose last trading day is July 31, 2028. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of HOM8 on May 27, 2028.
What one tick is worth on HON8
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.0001, which is $4.20 per contract on a multiplier of 42000. A full point is therefore $42,000.00. 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 0.0001 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of HO 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 HON8 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every HO delivery listed in 2028
HO lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). HON8 is number 7 of 12 in 2028.
