NGU8 expiry: August 29, 2028

When NGU8 stops trading

Trading terminates 3 business days prior to the first day of the delivery month. For NGU8 that falls on August 29, 2028.

Senzoukria stops offering NGU8 as the default contract on August 25, 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 NGU8 the next listed delivery is NGV8, whose last trading day is September 27, 2028. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of NGQ8 on July 23, 2028.

What one tick is worth on NGU8

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 NGU8 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). NGU8 is number 9 of 12 in 2028.

NGU8 and MNGU8 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. NGU8 and MNGU8 share the same last trading day, August 29, 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.
