When MBTZ9 stops trading
Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For MBTZ9 that falls on December 28, 2029.
Senzoukria stops offering MBTZ9 as the default contract on December 24, 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
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.
MBTZ9 is the last 2029 delivery listed for MBT, so the volume moves into the first 2030 contract.
What one tick is worth on MBTZ9
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 MBTZ9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every MBT delivery listed in 2029
MBT lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). MBTZ9 is number 12 of 12 in 2029.

MBTZ9 and BTCZ9 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. MBTZ9 and BTCZ9 share the same last trading day, December 28, 2029, 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.
