Every YM delivery listed in 2027
YM trades 4 delivery months in 2027 (H, M, U, Z). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.
The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: H = March, M = June, U = September, Z = December. The digit that follows is the year.
| Contract | Delivery | Last trading day | Default rolls on |
|---|---|---|---|
| YMH7 | Mar 2027 | Mar 19, 2027 | Mar 11, 2027 |
| YMM7 | Jun 2027 | Jun 18, 2027 | Jun 10, 2027 |
| YMU7 | Sep 2027 | Sep 17, 2027 | Sep 9, 2027 |
| YMZ7 | Dec 2027 | Dec 17, 2027 | Dec 9, 2027 |
The rule that sets these dates
Trading terminates at 9:30 a.m. ET on the third Friday of the contract month.
When the volume moves between these months
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.
What one tick of YM is worth
The minimum price fluctuation is 1, which is $5.00 per contract on a multiplier of 5. A full point is $5.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a YM footprint and the P&L on a YM position come from the same numbers.
