"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed.

Hi,
Is it possible to download historical interval data for expired VIX futures?
Thanks

You can go to ftp:\\www.dtniq.com and go to the beta folder. This contains a file called IEOPTIONS.ZIP which is a collection of all historical options symbols, which have been traded at least once. If you enter any of those options symbols into a historical request, you can get interval data for them.
Sincerely,
Gary Stephen

Are you sure? I can see options on futures, but not the VIX futures.
Also, are the columns in the file documented anywhere?
