# Installation Do not turn off Windows Defender. If Windows reports a virus, quarantines the file, or the installer came from anywhere other than an official iTradeAIMS source, stop and contact support. Get installers from your member dashboard Sign in at [my.itradeaims.net](https://my.itradeaims.net/) and open [**Latest Downloads**](https://my.itradeaims.net/latest-downloads/) for MetaTrader installers. TradingView products use invite access — request or confirm access from the same dashboard if you purchased there. ## MetaTrader Installer Screens[​](#metatrader-installer-screens "Direct link to MetaTrader Installer Screens") The MT4 and MT5 installers use the same basic flow. The product name and folder names change, but the screens work the same way. 1. Read and accept the license agreement. 2. Review the setup information screen. 3. Select the MetaTrader data folder opened from `File > Open Data Folder`. 4. Review the `Ready to Install` destination location. 5. Click `Install` only when the path is correct. 6. Read the post-install information page, then click `Next` or finish setup. ![Banana Indicator MetaTrader installer license agreement screen](/img/banana-indicator/install-mt5-license-agreement.png) Read and accept the license agreement to continue. The MT4 installer shows MT4 in the title; the MT5 installer shows MT5. ![Banana Indicator MetaTrader installer destination folder screen](/img/banana-indicator/install-mt5-select-data-folder.png) Select the MetaTrader data folder opened from File > Open Data Folder. A path under AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal is normal when it matches your terminal. Before clicking `Install`, the installer shows a `Ready to Install` page with the destination location. Read that path one more time. Click `Install` only if it matches the data folder opened from `File > Open Data Folder`. If the path looks wrong, click `Back` and choose the correct folder. After you click `Install`, Setup may show an information page with the next steps. Read it, then click `Next`. The important part is the same: restart or refresh MetaTrader, open `Navigator > Indicators > iTradeAIMS`, attach Banana Indicator to a chart, and enter your license key. ## Install On MetaTrader 4[​](#install-on-metatrader-4 "Direct link to Install On MetaTrader 4") 1. Open MT4. 2. Click `File > Open Data Folder`. 3. Download the official **Banana Indicator MT4** installer from [**Latest Downloads**](https://my.itradeaims.net/latest-downloads/) on your [member dashboard](https://my.itradeaims.net/), then run it. 4. When the installer asks where to install, select the MT4 data folder that opened in step 2. 5. Complete setup. 6. Restart MT4, or right-click inside Navigator and choose `Refresh`. 7. Open `Navigator > Indicators > iTradeAIMS`. 8. Drag Banana Indicator onto your chart. 9. Enter your license key in the **SerialKey** input. 10. Click `OK`. Expected installed locations: ``` MQL4/Indicators/iTradeAIMS/ MQL4/Libraries/ ``` You normally do not need to copy files manually when using the installer. ## Install On MetaTrader 5[​](#install-on-metatrader-5 "Direct link to Install On MetaTrader 5") 1. Open MT5. 2. Click `File > Open Data Folder`. 3. Download the official **Banana Indicator MT5** installer from [**Latest Downloads**](https://my.itradeaims.net/latest-downloads/) on your [member dashboard](https://my.itradeaims.net/), then run it. 4. When the installer asks where to install, select the MT5 data folder that opened in step 2. 5. Complete setup. 6. Restart MT5, or right-click inside Navigator and choose `Refresh`. 7. Open `Navigator > Indicators > iTradeAIMS`. 8. Drag Banana Indicator onto your chart. 9. Enter your license key in the **SerialKey** input. 10. Click `OK`. Expected installed locations: ``` MQL5/Indicators/iTradeAIMS/ MQL5/Libraries/ ``` If you use more than one MT5 terminal, run the installer once for each terminal and select that terminal's own data folder each time. ## Add On TradingView[​](#add-on-tradingview "Direct link to Add On TradingView") TradingView access works differently. There is no Windows installer. 1. Sign in to TradingView. 2. Confirm access was granted — check your [member dashboard](https://my.itradeaims.net/) if you just purchased. 3. Open the matching Banana script (**Latest** preferred): [The Banana Indicator TV — Latest](https://www.tradingview.com/script/zhOVPRIj-iTradeAIMS-The-Banana-Indicator/) [The Banana Indicator TV — Legacy](https://www.tradingview.com/script/Jxv7Fma9-iTradeAIMS-The-Banana-Indicator-Legacy/) 4. Request access or follow the access instructions you were given. 5. Wait until access is approved for your TradingView account. 6. Open the script page again. 7. Click `Use on chart`. 8. Save it to favorites if you want faster access later. ![TradingView script page for iTradeAIMS The Banana Indicator with Add to favorites and Use on chart highlighted](/img/banana-indicator/install-tradingview-script-page.png) After access is available — Add to favorites, then Use on chart. If TradingView says the script is invite-only and you cannot use it, access has not been granted to your TradingView account yet. ## After Installation[​](#after-installation "Direct link to After Installation") Check these items before using the indicator: * The indicator appears in the correct platform. * The indicator can be attached to a chart. * MetaTrader users have entered their license key. * No license error is shown. * Alerts are configured only if you want them. * You understand that signals appear for review, not automatic entry. ## Common Problems[​](#common-problems "Direct link to Common Problems") ### I Cannot Find The Indicator In MetaTrader[​](#i-cannot-find-the-indicator-in-metatrader "Direct link to I Cannot Find The Indicator In MetaTrader") 1. Restart MetaTrader. 2. Right-click Navigator and choose `Refresh`. 3. Confirm you selected the correct data folder during install. 4. If you have several broker terminals, repeat the install for the terminal you are using. ### The License Is Not Accepted[​](#the-license-is-not-accepted "Direct link to The License Is Not Accepted") 1. Check that the license key is entered exactly as issued. 2. Confirm internet access is available. 3. Remove and reattach the indicator after correcting the key. 4. Contact support if the message remains. The Banana Indicator installation path depends on the platform version you use. Use the platform-specific guide: * [Install The Banana Indicator MT4](/indicators/banana/docs/mt4/install.md) * [Install The Banana Indicator MT5](/indicators/banana/docs/mt5/install.md) * [Get access to The Banana Indicator TV](/indicators/banana/docs/tradingview/access.md) Do not use MT4 installation steps for MT5, or MT5 installation steps for MT4. TradingView does not use a Windows installer.
