Hi John, thank you for the explanation earlier — that helped a lot. I had a few follow-up questions regarding VIX symbols/data in Sierra Chart: 1. Which VIX symbol is the closest equivalent to TradingView’s `VX1!` continuous front-month VIX futures contract? From the symbols available under CFE, I currently see: * `VX?##-CFE` * `VX?##-CFE | S&P 500 VIX` * `VXM?##-FUT_CFE` * `VXM?##-CFE | S&P 500 Mini VIX` * Also, VIX_CGI under CBOE Global Indexes For example, `ESM6` is the current contract while `ES1!` is the continuous front-month ES contract on TradingView. So I’m trying to understand: * Which symbol in Sierra behaves most similarly to `VX1!` * Whether it automatically rolls to the next front-month contract as expiration approaches * Or if I would need to manually change contract months myself 2. Data/feed questions: * Is the VIX futures data included with the standard Denali package? * Or does CFE/VIX futures require an additional exchange subscription? * If I do not subscribe, will the data still appear delayed? * If delayed, approximately how delayed is it (10 min / 15 min / etc.)? 3. One last question regarding “Text Display for Study”: I was able to get the value displayed on the chart, but it currently only shows whole numbers (example: `19` instead of `19.14`). Is there a setting somewhere to control the number of decimals displayed in the text output? Thanks again. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-05-13 12:39:52
