1. From what you state, it sounds like you would want the VIX Futures. In this case, you would use the symbol of "VX?##_FUT_CFE" for the VIX or "VXM?##_FUT_CFE" for the Mini VIX. There is no difference between "VX?##_FUT_CFE" and "VX?##-CFE". They are just different formats to get the same data. But, whatever format you use, you need to be consistent with the VIX Futures data. So you can not have one chart with "VXM26_FUT_CFE" and another chart with "VXM26-CFE". Refer to the following for how to setup a chart to be a Continuous Futures Contract chart: Continuous Futures Contract Charts But, we really do not know for certain if you want the VIX Futures or the VIX Index. The VIX Index is the symbol "VIX_CGI". But since this is an Index, it does not have monthly contracts, which is why we think you are really looking for the VIX Futures. 2. The VIX Futures are NOT included with the package. You need to setup and pay for this data. Follow the instructions at the following link for how to setup the exchange: Denali Exchange Data Feed: *Setup Instructions: All Other Exchanges* The VIX Futures data is available as Delayed Streaming Data. This is available with any paid package and is free of charge. The data is delayed by 15 minutes in this case. 3. Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Value Format For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
