When MBTQ0 stops trading

Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For MBTQ0 that falls on August 30, 2030.

Senzoukria stops offering MBTQ0 as the default contract on August 26, 2030, 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

Crypto futures at CME expire monthly and settle against a reference rate rather than a physical asset. Liquidity concentrates in the front month and thins quickly once the roll has passed.

For MBTQ0 the next listed delivery is MBTU0, whose last trading day is September 27, 2030. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of MBTN0 on July 22, 2030.

What one tick is worth on MBTQ0

The minimum price fluctuation is 5, which is $0.50 per contract on a multiplier of 0.1. A full point is therefore $0.10. 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 5 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of MBT 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 MBTQ0 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every MBT delivery listed in 2030

MBT lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). MBTQ0 is number 8 of 12 in 2030.

MBTQ0 and BTCQ0 side by side

MBT and BTC track the same underlying, but BTC is 50 times the size of MBT: $25.00 a tick against $0.50. Both quote on the same 5 tick. MBTQ0 and BTCQ0 share the same last trading day, August 30, 2030, so a position in either rolls on the same date.

The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MBT lets a 50-contract position carry the same exposure as one BTC, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; BTC carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MBT.
