Backtesting long dated currency rolls is easy. The issue is finding the right short-term plug.

This happens in the FX markets all the time. Don't waste time with an online broker. It's good for the guy who has a 100K to trade but if you have any size, open an account with a real bank and trade directly through a dealer.
