False values showing when loading historical chart and when loading that particular contract than the value are shown correct and this is the same when loading the contract with continuous contract rollover is on or off. I am also attaching two screenshots one with the contract loading historical values and other with a particular contract open ( june 2017 ) for FTSE 100 futures (Z symbol code ) ( Liffe exchange )

Your Continuous Futures Contract is set to a "Back Adjusted" option. This adjusts the previous data in order to have not have a gap in the prices where the contracts change. Refer to the information here:

Yes but even if I set rollover to no than also it is showing false values as you can see in the link below

It is not a matter of setting the rollover to "no". If you want to have the data match exactly, then you would need to use a Continuous Futures Contract that does not include the Back Adjustment. We can see that you are still using a back-adjusted option since you have a [CB] showing after your symbol in the Region Data Line at the top. That B stands for Back-Adjusted. Refer to the following:
