Futures contracts expire, so a trader who wants to keep a position must close the expiring contract and open the next one: the roll. For Micro Bitcoin (MBT) the current front contract is MBTX26, with a last trading day of 27 Nov 2026. The next contract is MBTZ26.

The exchange rule we apply for MBT: Last trade: last Friday of the contract month (16:00 London); previous business day if that Friday is a holiday. Cash settled. MBT is cash-settled: positions still open at expiry are closed against a final settlement price, with no delivery of anything.

The suggested roll date of 19 Nov 2026 is a convention, not an exchange rule. It is set a little before the first notice or last trading day, because liquidity moves to the next contract and many brokers require positions to be closed or rolled before then. Dates are calculated from the exchange's rules and its holiday calendar; for this product the rule is modelled and should be checked against the exchange calendar before you rely on it. The exchange calendar is the authority.

Roll convention: Suggested roll: 5 business days before last trade. A convention, not an exchange rule. Exchange calendar: https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/micro-bitcoin.calendar.html
