    But on the mini, I suppose we would have to subscribe to the CBOE exchange, like the full-sized contract, even if we have CQG data feed?

    Yes, the Mini VIX and the Full Size VIX are on the same CBOE Exchange Data connection.
    So, if you enable CBOE/CFE data - you will have access to both Full size and Mini VIX.

    hi..i have recently set up an account with AMP Global..i use MT5..it is a very good software package for charting..but lacks some basic functionality for short term trading..can you please ask MT5 developers to include a "cancel" feature on the "depth of market" window..the easiest way would be to "double click" on the "cell" with an active limit order to cancel the order..at present the active limit order can be adjusted by moving same up or down with the mouse..and releasing same..but no way to cancel in the window..

    also..if they could add the adjustment of the active limit order box by using the up and down arrow keys..this would be a major improvement..and these 2 modifications would put the MT5 depth of market trading feature on par with the best out there..

    thank you..

    just to clarify..

    once you click on arrow next to price on ladder the limit order becomes active..buy or sell..

    once active in the box you then need 2 options..1 click in the box should highlight the price in the box and you can then adjust that highlighted price up or down with the arrow keys..once the highlighted box is moved one level it automatically changes..no need to hit the enter key..this is crucial for fast moving market like ES and MES..filled once highlighted box hits current matket price

    the second option is to cancel the active limit order box..2 scenarios..first is when you initiate order by clicking on buy or sell arrow to the right of the price box..you now have the option to move that price as per above price adjustment request..once the box is highlighted by one click in the box..OR..you can cancel the order by doing 2 clicks in the box..this is the same as doing 1 click in the box once it is highlighted

    this might sound a bit confusing to anyone who has not used the MT5 DOM..but it is very simple..

    place order as usual from ladder..buy or sell

    box is highlighted when you do this..say blue

    you now have active limit order

    click box twice to cancel order

    place order again as just described..box is highlighted when you do this..say blue

    click box once to make auto price adjustment with up and down arrows..box color changes from blue to say orange

    move price up and down ladder with up and down arrow keys..price adjusts automatically once it leaves one box and enters the next..

    if you want to cancel the limit order when the box is orange..just click it once

    thx

    correction to last post..there currently is a cancel order feature for active limit order in ladder box..you hold the shift key and then click on the x that comes up in place of the up or down arrow..however..it would be much easier to just click on the box to cancel an active limit order as per last post..thx
