@DidierRLopes Definitely worth including index/futures/both somewhere (which of course includes VIX). Neither indices or futures are currently in the terminal anywhere else right? Data on both seems to be readily available in yfinance (below).

Thoughts on adding an index menu and a futures menu under main menu after "etf"? Probably just have price data for now (e.g. quotes, charts). Pending green light can I work on this?

We currently have index stuff (including VIX) and a small selection of futures stuff in the economy menu

Seems like there's just the Price, Chg, % Chg table for futures. Can I make futures into a menu and add historical data for plotting from yf?

Wow I missed this comment. You definitely can start a new futures menu! You are very welcome to do so 😄
