VIX (Volatity) reading

Here's how 'Dharmesh' can get the current VIX measurement in a QuantConnect algorithm:

from AlgorithmImports import *

class VIXExampleAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm):
    def initialize(self) -> None:
        self.set_start_date(2021, 1, 1)
        self.set_end_date(2022, 1, 1)
        self.set_cash(100000)

        # Add VIX data
        self._vix_symbol = self.add_data(CBOE, "VIX", Resolution.DAILY).symbol

    def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None:
        # Check if VIX data is in the slice
        if self._vix_symbol in slice:
            vix_data = slice[self._vix_symbol]
            if vix_data is not None:
                # Display current VIX value
                self.debug(f"Current VIX: {vix_data.close}")

This code will output the current VIX value every time new VIX data is received. Just add this to your algorithm and you'll see the VIX in real time.

Below code Resolution should be in Second, if I need realtime VIX value ? self._vix_symbol = self.add_data(CBOE, "VIX", Resolution.SECOND).symbol
