When setting up market internals with Sierra Chart for trading micro-e-minis, what VIX symbol would you use?

I'm subscribed to Service Pack 11, and the direct routing feed the clearinghouse uses is from CQG.

I tried $VIN but it won't work!?

Thanks.

Most likely you are looking for the VIX Index, which has a typical symbol of $VIX. But, this data is not available unless you pay for it (CBOE rules). To get the data for the VIX index, you would need to use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed and activate the CBOE Indices exchange. The Setup Instructions can be found at the following link:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartRealTimeFuturesStockDataFeed.php#SetupInstructions

If, by chance, you are looking for the VIX futures, then those are part of the Denali Exchange Data Feed. Refer to the Setup Instructions for this data at this link:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
