Hi support, I have subscribed to some new exchanges, including CBOE and MNTRL. I am having trouble with a few futures symbols. 1) VX - The only volatility futures I see are under VIX?##, however I get a symbol not recognized error when I try to use one of these. I had some success after searching the forums, by entering the symbol for a specific expiration manually. What ended up working was "VIX-20160420-CFE-USD-1000". My question for this one is: Is there a way to have VIX symbols work correctly in the future or will I always need to manually figure out the expiration day and enter the symbol myself? I am connected to Interactive Brokers. 2) CG - While I am connected to my broker, the Canadian 10 year bond is not showing up in my symbol list. I am able to get the data if I open a new instance of sierrachart and connect to the "SC Data - All Services" data feed. But now this instance is not connected to my trading account, so I can't get CME data from this instance. This means I need to keep two instances of sierrachart open and connected to get all of the data I need. Is it ok to do it this way or does this count as a second connection? Am I doing something wrong? Hope this is clear. |
