It depends on which VIX you are wanting. Do you want the VIX Index or the VIX Futures?
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

That data comes from our Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and requires the CBOE Indices exchange to be activated. Refer to the Setup Instructions here:

Go to File >> Find Symbol and under Indexes (Real-Time), you will find the entry for $VIX. Select that, then select the button for either Open Historical Chart or Open Intraday Chart depending on which one you want.

Hi,

I subscribed to SC Real Data on Thursday 19th inorder to get VIX, but it seems to be extremely slow and affecting my charts. How can i revert back to my previous connections?

Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Do you mean the updating of the $VIX chart is slow?

Or what exactly is the problem.
