What's the symbol to buy the VIX on IB?

Thanks

I bet the spreads are wide and the liquidity thin.

i was looking at Jan07 VIX calls today. there were ~1k contracts traded. most of them in a span of a few minutes ~3:45pm. the spread is often 5-10 cents, but the volume is low, at least on the days i look at VIX options.

did not CBOE claim VIX options are very successful?

The Vix during holiday sessions rises, it did during Thanksgiving even as the stock market rose.

Thats a pretty neat trick!
