When LEZ8 stops trading
Trading terminates on the last business day of the contract month. For LEZ8 that falls on December 29, 2028.
Senzoukria stops offering LEZ8 as the default contract on December 25, 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
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.
LEZ8 is the last 2028 delivery listed for LE, so the volume moves into the first 2029 contract.
What one tick is worth on LEZ8
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 LE 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 LEZ8 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every LE delivery listed in 2028
LE lists 6 delivery months a year (G, J, M, Q, V, Z). LEZ8 is number 6 of 6 in 2028.
