MGCZ0 last trading day: December 27, 2030

The date that matters on MGCZ0

The first notice day of MGCZ0 is November 29, 2030, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on November 27, 2030.

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.

MGCZ0 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, December 27, 2030, 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 MGCZ0 as the default contract on November 23, 2030, 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.

MGCZ0 is the last 2030 delivery listed for MGC, so the volume moves into the first 2031 contract.

What one tick is worth on MGCZ0

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 MGCZ0 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every MGC delivery listed in 2030

MGC lists 6 delivery months a year (G, J, M, Q, V, Z). MGCZ0 is number 6 of 6 in 2030.

MGCZ0 and GCZ0 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. MGCZ0 and GCZ0 share the same roll anchor, November 27, 2030, 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.
