Anyone have 60-Minute data?

Posted by riskmanagerjeff on 5th of Feb 2010 at 04:30 pm

I probably shouldn't have asked this during the trading day when the market was flipping from panic to greed, but im still wondering..

does anyone have time series data, perhaps available through tradestation or something that they can put into a csv file for me?

Specifically, 60 minute VIX and SPX data going back a few years.

I'd really appreciate it!  Trying to test a new indicator.

Thanks,

Thanks in advance

you cant short it because its an ETN, or because there are no shares?  Ive never shorted an ETN before.  I guess FCX is the usual "go-to" copper name.

I'd like it for the market to hold up a bit and for this stock to trade sideways before breaking down.

with the worse than expected jobs numbers, here's another potential short if we get a trend change.  Looks like a bearish cup and handle top.
