Post From: CBOE VIX Data Options

I have been severely impacted by the discontinuation of the CBOE VIX data feed. I spent years developing highly successful and reliable automated trading systems on Sierra Chart and the CBOE VIX data was critical to about 95% of them. I have tested the alternatives that Sierra Chart offers, including CFE VIX futures, the VOLI Index (from Nations), etc. In some cases, these can provide value to my systems, but in general the nuances between these and CBOE data are too substantial to use them as a proper replacement. Are there any options for you to provide the CBOE data at an additional fee to me so I can keep my business running? Or perhaps some means for me to purchase the data directly from CBOE and feed it into Sierra as a 3rd party live data source?

I've been a highly satisfied customer for many years now and this one decision has completely upended my IP and disrupted my business. It's highly concerning, given how ubiquitous CBOE VIX data is to market participants, that Sierra Chart would proceed in this manner. I'm really hoping you can help me find some type of reasonable solution. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
