The date that matters on MHGH9
The first notice day of MHGH9 is February 28, 2029, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on February 26, 2029.
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.
MHGH9 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, March 28, 2029, 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 MHGH9 as the default contract on February 22, 2029, 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 MHGH9 the next listed delivery is MHGK9, whose roll anchor is April 26, 2029. That is the contract the volume moves into.
What one tick is worth on MHGH9
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.0005, which is $1.25 per contract on a multiplier of 2500. A full point is therefore $2,500.00. 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 0.0005 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of MHG 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 MHGH9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every MHG delivery listed in 2029
MHG lists 5 delivery months a year (H, K, N, U, Z). MHGH9 is number 1 of 5 in 2029.

MHGH9 and HGH9 side by side
MHG and HG track the same underlying, but HG is 10 times the size of MHG: $12.50 a tick against $1.25. Both quote on the same 0.0005 tick. MHGH9 and HGH9 share the same roll anchor, February 26, 2029, so a position in either rolls on the same date.
The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MHG lets a 10-contract position carry the same exposure as one HG, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; HG carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MHG.

Frequently asked questions
- When does MHGH9 stop being tradable in practice?
- The roll anchor of MHGH9 is February 26, 2029. The first notice day is the last business day of the month preceding the delivery month; the official last trading day is the third-to-last business day of the delivery month itself. 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.
- When should I roll out of MHGH9?
- The app switches its default to the next listed month on February 22, 2029, which is MHGK9. In practice the volume moves before the calendar does, so compare the traded volume and open interest of the two months rather than waiting for the roll anchor.
- How much is one tick of MHGH9 worth?
- One tick of 0.0005 is $1.25 per contract, and a full point is $2,500.00, on a multiplier of 2500.
- Does MHGH9 really stop trading on February 26, 2029?
- No. MHGH9 keeps quoting until March 28, 2029, the third-to-last business day of its delivery month. February 26, 2029 is the roll anchor Senzoukria uses, two business days before the first notice day, because past that point the contract is deliverable and the liquidity is gone.
