Post From: Problem with volume-based rollover

Ok, also in Sugar you have:

- SBV12 rolls off 9/9/2012 but next contract SBH13.scid no data until 9/27/2012
- SBV10 rolls off 9/8/2010 but next contract SBH11.scid no data until 9/27/2010

There are a bunch of other symbols which have the same problem, i.e. I agree with the volume-based roll date but the new contract data doesn't start until days after the roll date:

- COIL (Brent Crude)
- RB (RBOB Gasoline)
- GE (Eurodollar)
- CGB (Canada 10y Bond)
- VIX
- GC (Gold)
- AUD (Aussie Dollar)
- ZW (Wheat)
- ZM (Soybean Meal)
- ZL (Soybean Oil)
- KC (Coffee - need more of this)
- HO (Heating Oil)

Most of those I was able to get the missing data by downloading each contract individually without specifying rollover. But there's a couple where it seems you don't have the data:

- A6Z10 (Australian Dollar) rolls off 12/10/2010 but next contract A6H11.scid doesn't start until 1/3/2011 so you're missing 3-4 weeks of data.

- GCQ10 (Gold) rolls off 7/29/2010 but next car GCZ10.scid starts 9/29/2010 so 2 months missing.
