The date that matters on SILZ9
The first notice day of SILZ9 is November 30, 2029, the last business day of the month preceding delivery. Senzoukria anchors its roll two business days earlier, on November 28, 2029.
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.
SILZ9 itself keeps quoting until its official last trading day, December 27, 2029, 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 SILZ9 as the default contract on November 24, 2029, 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.
SILZ9 is the last 2029 delivery listed for SIL, so the volume moves into the first 2030 contract.
What one tick is worth on SILZ9
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.005, which is $5.00 per contract on a multiplier of 1000. A full point is therefore $1,000.00. 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 0.005 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of SIL 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 SILZ9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every SIL delivery listed in 2029
SIL lists 5 delivery months a year (H, K, N, U, Z). SILZ9 is number 5 of 5 in 2029.

Frequently asked questions
- When does SILZ9 stop being tradable in practice?
- The roll anchor of SILZ9 is November 28, 2029. 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 SILZ9?
- The app switches its default to the next listed month on November 24, 2029. 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 SILZ9 worth?
- One tick of 0.005 is $5.00 per contract, and a full point is $1,000.00, on a multiplier of 1000.
- Does SILZ9 really stop trading on November 28, 2029?
- No. SILZ9 keeps quoting until December 27, 2029, the third-to-last business day of its delivery month. November 28, 2029 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.
