Start Here

Use this path for The Banana Indicator TV (v3, Pine v6).

TradingView does not use a Windows installer or MetaTrader data folder. Access is granted to a TradingView username, then the invite-only script is added to a chart. This edition is not the same UI as MT4 or MT5 — different layout, filters, and dashboard. If you chart on MetaTrader, use the MT4 or MT5 guides instead.

v3 on TradingView — B#/S# labels, trade zones, Smart Trail, and the Pine dashboard.

Fast path

1. Get TradingView access
2. Add the script to a chart (steps below)
3. Review TradingView settings — v3 Inputs groups 1–10
4. Chart examples — buy/sell, wins, losses, suite confluence
5. TradingView alerts
6. Troubleshoot TradingView

Review prompts, not orders

The Banana Indicator marks setups to review. It does not place trades, size positions, or replace your trading plan. Not financial advice.

Before you start

Confirm:

• You are signed in to the TradingView username that iTradeAIMS granted access to.
• The script is The Banana Indicator TV — TradingView shows no invite-only access message.
• You can open the official script page: The Banana Indicator TV on TradingView
• You have a chart open on the symbol and timeframe you intend to review.
• The indicator is on the same chart where you expect signals.

1. Add the indicator to your chart

1. Open the script page.
2. Select Add to chart (or Use on chart).
3. Confirm the chart title bar lists Banana or iTradeAIMS | The Banana Indicator™.
4. If TradingView asks you to sign in, use the same username that received access.

Official script page — add to favorites, then Use on chart.

2. Leave defaults for the first session

For your first look, do not change settings yet. The v3 defaults are tuned for a clean chart:

Area	Default	What it means
1 · Signals	AIMS Banana Pattern	Stricter multi-bar pullback logic (recommended).
	B#/S# labels on, arrows off	Glow + numbered labels; diamonds optional.
2 · Filters	EMA + RSI + SuperTrend on	Fewer counter-trend and extreme-RSI markers.
	Price vs Slowest MA	Buys only above the slowest MA; sells only below.
5 · Trade levels	Zones on	Shaded risk/reward boxes on each setup.
6 · Display	Current setup only	One live setup per direction on chart.
7 · Trend colouring	Smart Trail + gradient candles	Trend glow and candle strength colouring.
9 · Dashboard	On, top right, dark theme	Live readout panel (see below).
4 · Session	Off	No time window filter until you enable it.

Open Settings (gear on the indicator) only if you need to move the dashboard or reduce visual density. Full group-by-group reference: TradingView settings.

3. Read your first chart

After the script loads, you should see:

Signal markers

• Buy setups: glow + B# label below the bar (optional diamond if you turn Show arrows on).
• Sell setups: glow + S# label above the bar.
• Markers appear on confirmed bar close (non-repainting).

See Signal detection for what the labels mean. Owner walkthrough charts (buy, sell, wins, losses) live on Chart examples.

Trade level zones

On a fresh signal, the script draws a full setup:

Level	Typical style
Entry	Grey line / zone edge
Stop	Red dashed
TP1 / TP2	Green
Invalidation	Amber dotted

Default Level style is Zones (filled risk/reward boxes). Switch to Lines or Both under 6 · Display if you prefer.

Exit marks

When a triggered setup hits TP1, its stop/invalidation, or both targets, an x can print on the chart (Exit marks — on by default). Examples: B2 Banana buy signal and S2 — stop hit on the chart examples page.

Dashboard panel

The Banana dashboard (top right by default) shows indicator-only fields:

• Symbol and timeframe
• Trend pill (bull/bear)
• RSI value and state
• Session active/closed (when session filter is enabled)
• Active LONG or SHORT setup with Entry, Stop, TP1, Invalidation, and Risk:Reward
• Active filters (EMA, RSI, ST, …)

It does not show P/L, win rate, drawdown, or lot size — those belong to the separate AIMS Algo strategy, not this indicator. See Dashboard panel.

4. Confirm it is working

Check all of the following:

Check	Pass when
Access	No invite-only error on the script or chart.
Indicator list	Banana appears on the chart's indicator list.
History	Enough bars loaded for your symbol/timeframe.
Filters	With defaults on, signal count is moderate — not every bar (filters are working).
Dashboard	Panel shows symbol, trend, and RSI; setup rows populate when a signal is live.
Levels	A new signal draws entry/stop/TP zones (if Show trade levels is on).

If markers never appear, see Troubleshoot TradingView.

5. Optional first tweaks

After one session on defaults, common adjustments:

• Too many signals — keep EMA filter and RSI filter on; enable Session window under 4 · Trading Session.
• Too few signals — review whether price is on the wrong side of the Slowest MA for the direction you expect.
• Cleaner chart — turn off Gradient candles or Smart Trail under 7 · Trend Colouring.
• Signal logic — switch Signal logic to AIMS Algo Logic only after you understand the difference (Algo-style vs Banana Pattern pullbacks).
• Colours — use TradingView's Style tab on the indicator (not a separate Colours input group).
