Post From: VIX future symbol missing for IB with SC Real-time feed

The volatility index futures are listed in File >> Find Symbol >> Futures. The Interactive Brokers symbol is:
VIX-########-CFE-USD-1000


This symbol can only be used for trading and does not have mapping to the corresponding Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed symbol because it has a week specification that Sierra Chart cannot support at this time.

So you need to use this symbol which is also listed now:
VIX?##

To be sure you can see the symbols, update the Symbol Settings as explained here:
