Every NG delivery listed in 2027

NG trades 12 delivery months in 2027 (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.

The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: F = January, G = February, H = March, J = April, K = May, M = June, N = July, Q = August, U = September, V = October, X = November, Z = December. The digit that follows is the year.

The rule that sets these dates

Trading terminates 3 business days prior to the first day of the delivery month.

When the volume moves between these months

Energy contracts expire monthly, so the roll is a routine of every month rather than every quarter. Volume leaves the expiring month several sessions before its last trading day, and the spread between the two months widens as it does.

What one tick of NG is worth

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.001, which is $10.00 per contract on a multiplier of 10000. A full point is $10,000.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a NG footprint and the P&L on a NG position come from the same numbers.
