    I can see the data for NIFTY30MAY24FUT symboltoken = 46930 (which is future contract for current month).
    But it also shows in charts and data pulled by getCandleData API the data for previous months, past years though the future contract lasts for only 3 months.

    Does this mean current month future contract data shows historical data of expired future contracts for each month ?
    example: currently NIFTY30MAY24FUT (future contract for May expiry Nifty) shows data for :
    May - current month expiry
    April- April month expired future data
    March - March month expired future data
    etc etc ?

    If yes, does this also hold for stock futures ?
