What Is AIMS Gator?
AIMS Gator is iTradeAIMS’s multi-dimensional Alligator on TradingView — the classic three-line mouth (jaw / teeth / lips) plus the Purple Magic higher-timeframe bias line. Tagline mindset: Alligator = compass; AIMS Gator = map.
Official script
Public trend compass — Alligator jaw / teeth / lips plus Purple Magic bias, mouth ribbon, and state alerts (no boxes, no Setup 1/2).
What it is
- A Pine indicator (overlay) — not a strategy and not Strategy Tester equity.
- Trend context: feeding up, feeding down, or sleeping (mouth closed).
- Purple Magic — directional bias from higher-timeframe teeth logic (shown on the current chart).
- TradingView published as a protected-source script you can add freely (AIMS Gator TV).
Anatomy (quick)
| Line | Classic Alligator role | Typical read |
|---|---|---|
| Jaw (blue) | 13 SMMA offset 8 | Balance / trend of the current timeframe |
| Teeth (pink) | 8 SMMA offset 5 | Balance of a significant lower timeframe |
| Lips (green) | 5 SMMA offset 3 | Faster lower-timeframe balance |
| Purple Magic | Displaced HTF teeth analogue | Higher-timeframe trend / bias |
When the three Alligator lines intertwine, the gator is Sleeping. When they open in order — Lips > Teeth > Jaw (Feeding up) or Lips < Teeth < Jaw (Feeding down) — the mouth is open. State diagrams: Quick start.
What it is not
- Not AIMS Box — no fractal boxes, no Setup 1/2 lifecycle.
- Not The Banana Indicator — Gator does not colour candles or paint B#/S# labels.
- Not a standalone Purple Magic product page — companion Purple scripts still appear under Other TradingView Scripts for legacy editions.
Three-lane architecture
Box = structure, Gator = trend (visible mouth), Banana = candles. Box PRO can use Gator/Purple invisibly as a filter; this hub is for traders who want the visible trend tools.

Risk notice
Gator states and Purple Magic bias are review prompts, not trade instructions. Trading involves risk. You are responsible for your own decisions and risk management.
