When NGK8 stops trading
Trading terminates 3 business days prior to the first day of the delivery month. For NGK8 that falls on April 26, 2028.
Senzoukria stops offering NGK8 as the default contract on April 22, 2028, 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
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.
For NGK8 the next listed delivery is NGM8, whose last trading day is May 29, 2028. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of NGJ8 on March 25, 2028.
What one tick is worth on NGK8
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.001, which is $10.00 per contract on a multiplier of 10000. A full point is therefore $10,000.00. 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 0.001 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of NG 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 NGK8 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every NG delivery listed in 2028
NG lists 12 delivery months a year (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). NGK8 is number 5 of 12 in 2028.

NGK8 and MNGK8 side by side
NG and MNG track the same underlying, but NG is 10 times the size of MNG: $10.00 a tick against $1.00. Both quote on the same 0.001 tick. NGK8 and MNGK8 share the same last trading day, April 26, 2028, so a position in either rolls on the same date.
The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. MNG lets a 10-contract position carry the same exposure as one NG, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; NG carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in MNG.
