I don't see gaps in my continuous except for this roll over. Basically each day both ascii and metastock files are automatically updated via ftp, however it only updates the day's results, not the whole file. So I likely have to re-load on rollover. I will check with them, likely there is a FAQ at their site. I expect the e-mini and Sp contracts are very similar over time, the .1 etc differences should also average out. I just put in a bit of slippage for the spread with market orders. In any case for 10 trades in 3 months it is small change.
