# Start On MT5

Use this path for **AIMS Box MT5** on MetaTrader 5.

The MT5 product is not a copy-paste of the MT4 build. It uses the **iTradeAIMS Dashboard** (Confluence suite) for Box, Banana, and Wave context, its own indicator inputs, alert controls, and troubleshooting checks. Use these MT5 pages when the product is installed in MetaTrader 5.
