Does the CBOE feed include a time and sales window
for, for example, the VIX or VXN?

Just want to see the order flow of the puts/calls
and order sizes.

Thanks.

Are you looking for pricing data for options themselves?


The CBOE data feeds do include the volatility indexes.

On any volatility index, I mentioned the VXN,want to see
the flow of orders, yes the price data.

Just wondering if this is part of the feed or not? Time and sales
window, just like you can open for any symbol, say ES, has order
price ad quantity.

Yes, the CBOE futures data feed does include the price and the number of contracts traded at each trade. All of the trades are included. It is a tick by tick feed.

""""Are you also aware that you need to pay for usage time on your Sierra Chart account?""""

So, it's more than $50.75?

If you require service package 3, then it is an additional 24 USD per month before the discounts are applied.

So the total price will be no more than 74.75USD/month.

Since we are close to the end of the month, the cost of the data feed though is going to be prorated.

There is a trial for the CFE futures for the first month as well so there is no cost for that. You might want to wait until April 1.

How about the iPath S&P 500 VIX ST Futures ETN (VXX) -NYSEArca?

Is that part of the Transact feed? Thx.

We cannot answer questions about the TransAct data feed.

We can answer questions about the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. We are not sure about that symbol. You need to provide us a link to the specifications about it on the exchange website.

Thx.

I got this far in my attempt to activate the trial offer.



Failed to activate the 'U.S. Equities (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, BATS)' exchange.
To enable the exchange at least one Real-time data connection account is required.

I did confirm Transact in an earlier step so I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Please advise. (My guess is that 35USD but thought it was a trial).

Add 10 USD (minimum) to your additional services balance:
https://www.sierrachart.com/usercp.php?page=AddAccountCredit

Let us know when that is done.

There is no free trial for the data feed itself. But you can get it for five USD until the end of this month.

Completed agreements, activated "US Equities" and rebooted SC.
The new symbols don't appear under "chart settings" and when I
go to global settings/data-trade service settings, the "service"
button is "grayed" out, won't drop down to select one. So, can't
load symbol VXX and need further steps to take.
