PLF8 last trading day: January 27, 2028

The date that matters on PLF8

The first notice day of PLF8 is December 31, 2027, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on December 29, 2027.

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.

PLF8 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, January 27, 2028, 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 PLF8 as the default contract on December 25, 2027, 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 PLF8 the next listed delivery is PLJ8, whose roll anchor is March 29, 2028. That is the contract the volume moves into.

What one tick is worth on PLF8

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.1, which is $5.00 per contract on a multiplier of 50. A full point is therefore $50.00. 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 PL 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 PLF8 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
