When ZMN0 stops trading
Trading terminates on the business day preceding the 15th calendar day of the contract month. For ZMN0 that falls on July 12, 2030.
Senzoukria stops offering ZMN0 as the default contract on July 8, 2030, 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.
For ZMN0 the next listed delivery is ZMQ0, whose last trading day is August 14, 2030. That is the contract the volume moves into, just as it moved out of ZMK0 on May 10, 2030.
What one tick is worth on ZMN0
The minimum price fluctuation is 0.1, which is $10.00 per contract on a multiplier of 100. A full point is therefore $100.00. 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 ZM 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 ZMN0 position and the rows of its footprint come from the same numbers.
Every ZM delivery listed in 2030
ZM lists 8 delivery months a year (F, H, K, N, Q, U, V, Z). ZMN0 is number 4 of 8 in 2030.
