This problem is not related to rt, nor to gaps, 
though the 2 securities need to have common start and end times.
 
The mystery is why the s.test can't trade at the 
times the corresponding indicator triggers. The problem is I suspect related to 
the asynchronous nature of the two tick series and the inability of MS to 
serialise them properly. Trades on the one minute charts align perfectly with 
the indicator(provided the delay is set to 0) but with tick period there seems 
to be no relationship.

  I 
  have trouble in RT in even plotting charts with securities that are built as 
  custom indicators using the security function. They work fine in RT as the 
  data is being generated but if I try to look at the chart in the evening or 
  weekend there are large gaps > 1 hour.
  <FONT face=Arial color=#008080

  I 
  wonder if these problems are related?

    problem
    Has anyone tried using the System Tester with 
    intraday tick period?
     
    In particular testing trades on a frequently 
    updating security like ES with the 'indicator' based on a security which 
    updates less frequently such as $PREM? Trades don't align with indicator 
    version of the code. Has anyone encountered this problem and is there a 
    workaround?
