VIX market data outside regular trading hours


 

Since the end of last year VIX options are trading almost 24/5. However I receive no market data outside the regular trading hours for neither the VIX index itself nor for the VIX options. Am I doing something wrong?


 

According to the ContractDetaills object, VIX index "trading hours" on work days are (US/Central time):
  • 02:15 to 08:15
  • 08:30 to 16:00
We don't do options, but I just grabbed the ContractDetails for object for "VIX 220518C00025000". Trading hours are (US/Central time)
  • 19:15 to 08:15 next day (Sun through Thu)
  • 08:15 to 15:15 (Mon through Fri)

So there are three hours in the late afternoon where you'd get no market data.

Hope this helps,
