Standard and mini contracts

SILVER and SILVERM track the same metal with different lot sizes and expiry cycles. Keep them as separate instruments: their contract months differ, so a "front month" on one day may not match.

Files: SILVER_FUT_1min_<day>_exp<expiry>.parquet, SILVERM_FUT_1min_…. Timestamps are IST bar start.

Compare the two contracts minute by minute

    df["day"] = pd.to_datetime(df["timestamp"]).dt.date
