I am attempting to symbol map the TS data front mth continuous contract for the VIX, currently @VXU22, in MultiCharts and it is not downloading the complete data history. It's patchy for some reason. This continuous contract has better data than @VX from TS in my opinion. In Quote Manager, @VXU22 has no 'Description' and an incorrect 'Exchange List', CME. I changed that to CBOE manually.
I notice that when I changed the Exchange to CBOE, the 'Collect RT Data w/o plotting field started to increment. Not sure what this means.
How do I get this data into MultiCharts correctly?
Please see attached screenshots.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
Tony

Hi tonyt,
Please re-add @VXU22 symbol from the data source (QuoteManager – Instrument – Add Symbol – From data source – TS). Make sure that the symbol description appeared after that. Also check session settings in QuoteManager – right click @VXU22 – Edit Symbol – Sessions and change if required.
