When RTYH9 stops trading
Trading terminates at 9:30 a.m. ET on the third Friday of the contract month. For RTYH9 that falls on March 16, 2029.
Senzoukria stops offering RTYH9 as the default contract on March 8, 2029, 8 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
Equity index liquidity moves to the next quarter in a single week, usually the one that contains the roll date. Order flow read on the old contract after that week is thin and misleading: the book empties, prints get sparse, and a footprint built on it shows gaps that are an artefact of the roll rather than of the auction.
For RTYH9 the next listed delivery is RTYM9, whose last trading day is June 15, 2029. That is the contract the volume moves into.
What one tick is worth on RTYH9
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 RTY 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 RTYH9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every RTY delivery listed in 2029
RTY lists 4 delivery months a year (H, M, U, Z). RTYH9 is number 1 of 4 in 2029.

RTYH9 and M2KH9 side by side
RTY and M2K track the same underlying, but RTY is 10 times the size of M2K: $5.00 a tick against $0.50. Both quote on the same 0.1 tick. RTYH9 and M2KH9 share the same last trading day, March 16, 2029, so a position in either rolls on the same date.
The practical difference is position sizing rather than behaviour. M2K lets a 10-contract position carry the same exposure as one RTY, which makes partial exits possible on a small account; RTY carries the deeper book, so its footprint and its depth of market are the ones to read even when the position is held in M2K.
