NT8 IB VIX Futures Data

[RandanAL]

Thanks Patrick. Sorry for slow response I've been traveling. Will need to play around with it after the market close. I'm getting streaming data right now but not historical but that may be because the IB data stream is always a little janky.

RandanAL , we haven't received an email from you yet, however, we may have discovered the root cause of this symptom. A change to the exchange needs to be made for VX futures trading to work with Interactive Brokers CFE subcription. Follow these steps:

• Disconnect from all data feeds
• Control Center > Instruments
• Locate and select 'VX' futures instrument > Edit
• To the right of 'Exchanges', click on '1 exchange'
• Uncheck 'CBOE' and check 'Cfe' > OK > OK
• Restart NinjaTrader

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting Interactive Brokers Volatility Futures data through Ninjatrader.
I have the enhanced/streaming CFE data package on the IB side in TWS so should be getting data from the API.

Thanks,
David
