Hello,
Does anybody know how to get mid term vix -> VIX3 ?
I know for VIX we can use "CBOE/VIX" and the close column is "vix close", but I am having troubles for mid term.
Thanks
Nik

Thanks!
I dont think this would work, since this is an ETN, and I need the index itslef (like VIX vs VXX).

Hi Nik
I used this to bring in VXV into one of my algorithms:
self.vxv = self.AddData(QuandlVXV, 'CBOE/VXV', Resolution.Daily).Symbol #In Initialize class QuandlVXV(PythonQuandl): '''Custom quandl data type for setting customized value column name. Value column is used for the primary trading calculations and charting.''' def __init__(self): # Define ValueColumnName: cannot be None, Empty or non-existant column name # If ValueColumnName is "Close", do not use PythonQuandl, use Quandl: # self.AddData[QuandlFuture](self.crude, Resolution.Daily) self.ValueColumnName = "CLOSE"Nik milev
