The date that matters on PLJ0
The first notice day of PLJ0 is March 29, 2030, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on March 27, 2030.
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.
PLJ0 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, April 26, 2030, 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 PLJ0 as the default contract on March 23, 2030, 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 PLJ0 the next listed delivery is PLN0, whose roll anchor is June 26, 2030. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of PLF0 on December 23, 2029.
What one tick is worth on PLJ0
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 PLJ0 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every PL delivery listed in 2030
PL lists 4 delivery months a year (F, J, N, V). PLJ0 is number 2 of 4 in 2030.

Frequently asked questions
- When does PLJ0 stop being tradable in practice?
- The roll anchor of PLJ0 is March 27, 2030. 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 PLJ0?
- The app switches its default to the next listed month on March 23, 2030, which is PLN0. 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 PLJ0 worth?
- One tick of 0.1 is $5.00 per contract, and a full point is $50.00, on a multiplier of 50.
- Does PLJ0 really stop trading on March 27, 2030?
- No. PLJ0 keeps quoting until April 26, 2030, the third-to-last business day of its delivery month. March 27, 2030 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.
