I figured it out... I downloaded mt4 on the main website but i guess i kept downloading mt5? its wierd.. i had to use the download link on ftmo for their demo.. 


When i installed mt4 from the regular metatrader website and moved the folder it never showed.. but i downloaded the mt4 link given by ftmo demo and it worked what gives ? wierd..

I'm trying to import MT4 indicators, but only see MT5 files! Where?

The link on "metatrader4.com" stealthily installs MetaTrader 5 instead.

MT4 is no longer being developed for several years now, so you will have to download the MetaTrader 4 installation package from your broker.
