Hi Muhammad Haroon ,
No, the future's data is not back adjusted, In other words, there are no continuous contracts.
Support for Future's continuous contracts is in our TODO list.
We don't have an example of how to do it in runtime.
I would suggest using custom data (Quandl) that provides continuous contracts as you can probably use it to infer the adjustment factor.
