Start with the guide for your platform:
MetaTrader 4
Use MT4 if your broker account is in MetaTrader 4 or you already have MT4 chart templates.
What to expect:
- Install with the official Banana Indicator MT4 installer.
- Select the MT4 data folder opened from
File > Open Data Folder. - Find the indicator under
Navigator > Indicators > iTradeAIMS. - Enter your license key when prompted by the indicator settings.

MetaTrader 5
Use MT5 if your broker account is in MetaTrader 5 or you prefer the newer MetaTrader platform.
What to expect:
- Install with the official The Banana Indicator MT5 installer.
- Select the MT5 data folder opened from
File > Open Data Folder. - Find the indicator under
Navigator > Indicators > iTradeAIMS. - Enter your license key when prompted by the indicator settings.

TradingView
Use TradingView if you prefer browser or app-based charting.
What to expect:
- The script is invite-only.
- You must request and receive access before it can be used on your chart.
- Once access is active, open the script page and choose
Use on chart. - TradingView alerts are configured from TradingView, not from MetaTrader.
- v3 uses B#/S# labels, trade zones, Smart Trail, and a Pine dashboard — see chart examples.
