Hello,

I am downloading the VIX (^VIX) using the daily download where I get only the current days data.
However, there are times that I must perform a historical download.

The Daily download seems to get and populate the correct data however the historical download seems to populate incorrect data.

For example, the historical download populates a VIX open/close/high/low price of 15.14 from 3/29/07 to 9/28/11, each day has the same prices.
Using the daily download populates 41.08 for the 9/28/11 closing price (which agrees with yahoo).

Thank you for your help

Which historical downloader are you using?

Please download a new version from the sharing server. A new version was released few weeks ago to fix problems when downloading indexes data.

I was using the "Historical Stock Market Data" downloader. When I tried the "Yahoo EOD historical quotes" downloader on just the VIX, it worked. Which one should I be using for just US stocks/ETF's and indexes at EOD?

They are almost the same. Did you try retrieving data for "^VIX" with the new version of the downloader?

both versions, "Historical Stock Market Data" and "Yahoo EOD historical quotes" seem to work on the VIX now

The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
