Hello,

Where can I find the data for the SP500 Cash and Dow Jones Cash intraday data?
In addition, the VIX 10 min is displayed with a delay. Do I still need to activate it?

Thank you for your assistance.

You can get the real-time "S&P 500 Index" which is part of our "CBOE Global Indices" exchange. The symbol is "SPX_CGI", but you do have to activate the exchange in order to get the data. To activate the CBOE Global Indices, follow these instructions:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: All Other Exchanges*

We do not have intraday data for the "Dow Jones Index", but we do have end of day data for it by using the symbol "$DJWM" (this is listed on the Find Symbol window under the "Cash Indexes (End of Day)". There is also an end-of-day option for the S&P 500. Nothing needs to be setup for this data, it is available with any package.

We do not know what you are referring to in terms of the "VIX 10 min is displayed with a delay". You can not view VIX index data without activating the CBOE Global Indices. We do not have any streaming data for this. We wonder if you are looking at the VIX Futures, for which we do have 15 minute delayed streaming data.

If you want the VIX Index, then this is also part of our "CBOE Global Indices". See the reference above on this. Note that there is also a Dow Jones Volitility Index available in that data.

Hello,

Is it possible to get overnight data on SPX_CGI as it now trades extended hours since summer of 2024 with Global Trading Hours. That would be extremely helpful for managing overnight trades.

Thanks a lot.

We do not have any "overnight" data as the CBOE is not sending that data. So we do not believe that they are calculating this for the overnight session.

There is definitely no overnight data for this symbol SPX_CGI. CBOE does not provide it.
