BlueTrin:
I could only find the FTSE index, I would like to have the 24/7 chart for the FTSE future.
MetaTrader 4 is primarily a spot forex platform. An increasing number of brokers do offer indexes and futures contracts, but it's very variable. And commissions on futures contracts from MT4 brokers are not always very competitive compared to specialist futures brokers.
Also I don't see data getting updated in real-time, is it because I downloaded the free version of MT4 on this website ?
(It's not because you have downloaded MT4 for free. There is no paid-for version of the main MT4 desktop software. MetaQuotes make their money out of selling software to brokers, not to traders. You end up paying for the MT4 software via the trading charges which you pay to your MT4 broker.)

You are missing trading opportunities:
- Free trading apps
- Over 8,000 signals for copying
- Economic news for exploring financial markets
