TradingView Settings

Use this page to review The Banana Indicator TV v3 inputs before changing defaults.

This build is Pine v6 on TradingView — not the MT4/MT5 indicator. Input groups are numbered 1–10 in the settings dialog. Defaults below match the current v3 script (banana-indicator.pine in the indicators repo).

Open settings

1. Add The Banana Indicator TV to your chart.
2. Click the gear on Banana in the chart legend (or double-click the indicator name).
3. Open the Inputs tab.
4. Change one group at a time — use Defaults if the chart becomes hard to read.

First session

Leave defaults for your first look. See Start Here.

Common tweaks

Goal	Try

More signals	Review Price vs Slowest MA — price may be on the wrong side for your direction.
Cleaner chart	Turn off Gradient candles or Smart Trail under 7 · Trend Colouring.
History on chart	Turn off Show only current setup under 6 · Display.
Algo-style markers	Switch Signal logic to AIMS Algo Logic only after you understand the difference.

Change one group at a time. If support asks for a screenshot, capture the full Inputs tab (these five scroll positions cover all groups).
