MGCQ7 last trading day: August 27, 2027

The date that matters on MGCQ7

The first notice day of MGCQ7 is July 30, 2027, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on July 28, 2027.

This date is not the last trading day. A metal contract keeps quoting into its delivery month, but past the first notice day it is deliverable, liquidity collapses, and most brokers and prop firms liquidate what is left. Senzoukria therefore anchors its roll two business days before the first notice day and never offers a contract already in its delivery period.

MGCQ7 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, August 27, 2027, the third-to-last business day of its delivery month, but that session sits inside the delivery period and is not where the volume is.

Senzoukria stops offering MGCQ7 as the default contract on July 24, 2027, 4 calendar days before that roll anchor, 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

Metal contracts stay quoted into their delivery month, but the volume leaves before the first notice day. The active month is rarely the one whose name matches the calendar, so checking the date rather than the month name is the habit that avoids trading a dying contract.

For MGCQ7 the next listed delivery is MGCV7, whose roll anchor is September 28, 2027. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of MGCM7 on May 23, 2027.

What one tick is worth on MGCQ7

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.1, which is $1.00 per contract on a multiplier of 10. A full point is therefore $10.00. 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 0.1 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of MGC 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 MGCQ7 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every MGC delivery listed in 2027

MGC lists 6 delivery months a year (G, J, M, Q, V, Z). MGCQ7 is number 4 of 6 in 2027.

MGCQ7 and GCQ7 side by side

MGC and GC track the same underlying, but GC is 10 times the size of MGC: $10.00 a tick against $1.00. Both quote on the same 0.1 tick. MGCQ7 and GCQ7 share the same roll anchor, July 28, 2027, so a position in either rolls on the same date.

The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MGC lets a 10-contract position carry the same exposure as one GC, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; GC carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MGC.
