When ZLZ9 stops trading

Trading terminates on the business day preceding the 15th calendar day of the contract month. For ZLZ9 that falls on December 14, 2029.

Senzoukria stops offering ZLZ9 as the default contract on December 10, 2029, 4 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

Grain contracts follow the crop calendar rather than the quarter, so the listed months are uneven and the roll dates do not fall at regular intervals. The active month is the one carrying the volume, not the nearest by date.

ZLZ9 is the last 2029 delivery listed for ZL, so the volume moves into the first 2030 contract.

What one tick is worth on ZLZ9

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.01, which is $6.00 per contract on a multiplier of 600. A full point is therefore $600.00. 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 0.01 sets how finely the bid and ask volume of ZL 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 ZLZ9 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.

Every ZL delivery listed in 2029

ZL lists 8 delivery months a year (F, H, K, N, Q, U, V, Z). ZLZ9 is number 8 of 8 in 2029.
