Does anybody know the options for getting the VXN (Nasdaq Volatility Index) data feed. Is it offered on Kinetick end of day? Or do you have to purchase this from a data supplier. If so are there different data suppliers? Thanks in advance.

Christopher, Thanks for you time. I am already registered owner of the multi license NT. The symbol you gave me of VOLQ.X is not part of the pre-loaded symbols for NT. I have loaded the symbol in the instruments list. Now I get this error. (Errou on reuesting bars series: 'Unknown instrument 'VXN") Here is how I loaded the symbol mapping.Comment

Hello woodyfox,
Please delete and recreate the instrument.
If you continue to experience the same, please send me your log and trace files so that I may look into what occurred.
You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support
Ensuring 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default.
Please reference the following in the body of the email: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...48287-vxn-data

Hello woodyfox,
It appears that there are two volatility indexes for the NASDAQ 100: VOLQ.X is calculated by the NASDAQ and VXN.XO is calculated by the CBOE.
Feel free to contact us if you are ever in need of support.Comment
