FLEXIBLE EXPIRATION DAY The maximum lifetime of a flexible contract remains unchanged. The maximum lifetime is equal to the longest Order Book. The minimum lifetime of a flexible contract is the next business. From 25 July 2016, for flexible contracts, any trading can be selected as expiration, taking into account that an expiration can only be selected on s on which the Exchange Delivery Price can be determined.
