The active month for FCPO (Crude Palm Oil Futures) is always the third-month contract.
This means:
- The active contract is three months ahead of the current month.
- Every 16th of the month, the active contract rolls forward to the next month contract. If the 16th falls on a non-market day, the rollover occurs on the next Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) business day.

Can I Delay Rolling Over to the Next Active Month if I Hold a Position?
Yes but we recommend rolling over as soon as possible, as liquidity in the previous active month contract will be lesser when market participants shift to the new active contract.
