# What Is AIMS Algo?

**AIMS Algo** is an iTradeAIMS **TradingView strategy** that reads market structure and highlights the likely move on chart. Tagline: **Map the move.**

## What it is[​](#what-it-is "Direct link to What it is")

* A **Pine strategy** on TradingView — backtest in Strategy Tester, review entries/exits on chart.
* **Rule-based** structure mapping — not a black-box signal feed.
* **TradingView only** — no MetaTrader installer, no MT4/MT5 data folder.

## How it fits the AIMS Tools story[​](#how-it-fits-the-aims-tools-story "Direct link to How it fits the AIMS Tools story")

Many traders use **Banana Indicator** for signal context, **AIMS Box** for structure, and **Banana EA** for automated execution. **AIMS Algo** is the TradingView **strategy** lane — useful when you want Strategy Tester metrics, equity curves, and a mapped move read on TV.

Banana Indicator TV v3 can optionally use **AIMS Algo Logic** for its signal engine — see [Banana TV quick start](/indicators/banana/docs/tradingview/quick-start.md) for the difference.
