How to get vix today open value?

[caiyusa]

How to get vix today open value or yesterday close value?
I use /es 1m chart.
I saw the example of VIXIndicator.cs, but I don't need to draw the vix indicator, I just need a VIX open or close value.
Thanks.

Hello caiyusa,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

You would need a data feed provider that supports indexes and the VIX index. You can view the supported data feed providers at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rical_data.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I guess I need to clarify my question:
I use IB with ninjatrader. I know the vix symbol in IB is ^VIX. My question is that I don't know how to read the vix value in code?

Hello caiyusa,

Thanks for your post.

You would use the Add() method to add the ^VIX instrument to your code and then you would refer to the added dataseries by its BarsArray[] index. Please see the helpguide here on add() and other considerations for multiseries scripting: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nstruments.htm
