METQ9 expiry: August 31, 2029

When METQ9 stops trading

Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month. For METQ9 that falls on August 31, 2029.

Senzoukria stops offering METQ9 as the default contract on August 27, 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.

For METQ9 the next listed delivery is METU9, whose last trading day is September 28, 2029. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of METN9 on July 23, 2029.

What one tick is worth on METQ9

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 METQ9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every MET delivery listed in 2029

MET lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). METQ9 is number 8 of 12 in 2029.

METQ9 and ETHQ9 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. METQ9 and ETHQ9 share the same last trading day, August 31, 2029, 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.
