Post From: Missing Intraday Soybean Data

Looking at intraday data for CBT Soybeans.

Using Interactive Brokers data, looking at the roll between ZS-201107-ECBOT.scid and
ZS-201111-ECBOT.scid. Volume Based Rollover method gives roll date of 23-June-2011 but new contract data only goes back as far as 1-July-2011, leaving a 7 day gap.

I tried checking against SC data which normally agrees but in this case I couldn't find any intraday or daily data at all for Soybeans, i.e. SX16.scid is empty. I also get an error message about "SX16 Date based rollover rule not defined for symbol. Unable to build continuous futures contract chart" even though I have Volume Based Rollover selected, so not sure what's wrong here.
