How it works
The rule
The last trading day of a monthly TAIEX futures contract is the third Wednesday of the contract month. If the market is closed that day, it moves to the next trading day. The final settlement day is the same day.
The expiring contract stops trading at 1:30 p.m. and has no night session on its last day. The next month's contract becomes the nearest month from the following trading day.
The final settlement price
It is the simple average of the TAIEX index over the last 30 minutes of the stock market on settlement day. Open positions in the expiring contract are settled in cash at that price.
Weekly contracts
TAIFEX also lists weekly contracts (marked W1, W2 and so on in its tables) that settle on other Wednesdays. This page lists the monthly contracts.
Questions
When is the TAIEX futures settlement day?
The third Wednesday of the contract month. When the market is closed that day, settlement moves to the next trading day.
What happens when the third Wednesday is a holiday?
Settlement moves to the next trading day. In February 2026 the third Wednesday, February 18, fell in the Lunar New Year holiday, and the contract settled on Monday, February 23.
How is the final settlement price calculated?
As the simple average of the TAIEX over the last 30 minutes of trading on the settlement day.
Is there a night session on settlement day?
Not for the expiring contract. The other contract months trade the night session as usual.
