Yes Kinetick supports VIX Futures. For Kinetick mapping will be @VX which is going to be included in the CBOE Futures Exchange.


At a minimum, and for all instruments Kinetick offers:

• 120 calendar days of historical Tick data (for building tick based charts, such as range and volume)
• 2 years of historical Minute data
• 10 years of historical Daily data

For more commonly traded symbols it is likely that more extensive historical data will be available, as well.

I will need to contact Vision Financial to verify if this instrument is supported and will follow up as soon as I gather additional information.

Got Any news from Vision regarding their VIX offering ?

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

It appears Vision Financial Markets does support the VIX Futures and additional information can be found at the link provided below.

I am awaiting the required settings for this instrument. If your account is currently authorized for this instrument please input VX for Vision Financial within the Instrument Editor.

Just a quick question, is NT planning on enabling spread trading in futures?

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

The request for exchange traded spreads has been submitted to our development team and has been assigned ID #184 for tracking.

Did IB changed the mapping for the VIX futures instrument? Not sure what happened, but I am unable to get the charts working for some time now. I have all set up like in 2 pictures from the start of this thread but the charts are empty...

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

Mapping for the VIX Index for IB has not changed and should be set to VIX. Can you tell me if you receive real time data within the Orders tab and what interval chart you are loading. Also is this a Live or Demo account with IB?

[bagzi]

This is live acc with IB and i am getting the quotes in TWS. Im trying with 15 min charts...

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

Are you receiving real time data within the NinjaTrader Orders tab when ^VIX is selected?

Also please tell me what version of NinjaTrader you have installed which can be found under Help-->About and the version of TWS you have installed which can be checked under TWS -> Help -> About -> Scroll to the Build #.

Where is the NinjaTrader Orders tab?

Im on NT 7.0.1000.10 and TWS Build 921.5

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

With the current version of NinjaTrader, it is critical that you use TWS version 927.7. Please uninstall your existing version via the Windows Control Panel, and then install 927.7 via the following link:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/ninjatrader/TWS/tws40_install_927_7.exe

Once TWS 927.7 has been installed, please ensure that the configuration in our Connection Guide for TWS has been completed.

The following link will take you to a page that details the steps required for creating a connection to Interactive Brokers and specific connection configuration information.

Click here to take me to the Interactive Brokers Connection Guide

Let me know if you then receive data successfully.
