When METJ7 stops trading
Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For METJ7 that falls on April 30, 2027.
Senzoukria stops offering METJ7 as the default contract on April 26, 2027, 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 METJ7 the next listed delivery is METK7, whose last trading day is May 28, 2027. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of METH7 on March 22, 2027.
What one tick is worth on METJ7
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.5, which is $0.05 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 0.5 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of MET 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 METJ7 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every MET delivery listed in 2027
MET lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). METJ7 is number 4 of 12 in 2027.

METJ7 and ETHJ7 side by side
MET and ETH track the same underlying, but ETH is 500 times the size of MET: $25.00 a tick against $0.05. Both quote on the same 0.5 tick. METJ7 and ETHJ7 share the same last trading day, April 30, 2027, so a position in either rolls on the same date.
The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MET lets a 500-contract position carry the same exposure as one ETH, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; ETH carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MET.
