Hi all,
please open the url http://vixcentral.com/ and click on "HIstorical Prices" tab. I need to get the data of the curve changing the date (see below).

Looking at the image, for the date "October 16, 2008" I need to get the vector [63.880 42.780 35.470 34.320 32.650 31.170 29.260 27.820]. I have no idea of how can I do it. Please, help me. Many thanks!

that stuff all looks like it's server-side generated data. you might need to look through the source code for that page and start with exploring what the 'get prices' button does.

Hello Adriano,
It is my understanding that you want to load the data from the mentioned website into MATLAB workspace.
In MATLAB you can use webread to read the content from web services. However, in your case, you can download the data as csv, using Download CSV in the hamburger button in the Historical Places tab and then load the csv file using readtable function into MATLAB workspace.
I hope it helps.
