Since SPX and VIX are currently available in a GTH session that runs from 3:00 a.m. ET to 9:15 a.m. ET. I realised not many charts have the updated data on this increased trading hour. I also came to be aware not many people know where to find them. So I'll just share a quick one on where I get the chart data of the new GTH.

Go to TradingView, if you still don't have an account, you should probably register one. You can use my referral here, or if you have a friend that has TradingView you can get him to refer you as well.

Click on "Charts", then type "SPX". In TradingView, when you type it will immediately prompt the ticker search dialog. You will see many SPX results as shown below.

Take note on the SPX500USD and SPX500, these are the 2 that have the increased trading hours. Another thing to take note here is the sources, OANDA and EIGHTCAP. At the point of this post, only these 2 sources provide the increased trading hours chart data.

Below is the comparison of the 2.

You will notice there's an additional candle for today if the market is not open yet. You will also notice the previous candles look a little different, this is also because the SPX chart did not have the added trading hour data while SPX500 and SPX500USD have.

Also, remember above I mentioned about the sources. It also applies to VIX and  NDQ100.

Just make sure the sources are from EIGHTCAP for now.

Hope that helps!
