Roll. The industry roll date is eight calendar days before expiration (the Thursday of the prior week). Volume and open interest shift to the next quarter around this date.
First notice day. None – YM is cash-settled, so there is no delivery process and no first notice day. Longs can hold into expiration.
Last trading day. Third Friday of the contract month. If the exchange is closed that day, trading ends on the preceding business day.
US exchange holidays ahead: Nov 26 · Dec 25 · Jan 1 · Jan 18 · Feb 15 · Mar 26 · May 31 · Jun 18

Exchange margins are the minimum your clearing firm must collect for positions held overnight. Brokers may require more – and usually offer much lower day-trading margins for positions closed before the session ends. A neutral broker day-margin comparison is coming soon.
