Hi Sierra Team,
I am using TransAct/Infinity broker and data from you (35 + 3.25 mohtly).
When I open $VIX chart I get historical chart loaded which is OK.
The problem is that I would like the chart to be updated in real-time.
When I change chart settings to intraday chart, nothing is loaded.
The log says: Real-time Intraday chart data file updates started for $VIX | 2015-08-27 18:53:24
But I keep waiting and there is just black screen.

I checked symbols here in your thread and you have the same symbol as transact: $VIX

I also tried this advise, but it seems to be irrelevant for my case because TransAct and Sierra have the same symbol for $VIX.

Do I really have $VIX included in the data package from you?
If so, what would you recommend me to make $VIX work in real time?

Thank you
