Click the **✦** (**Ask the AI Trading Assistant**) button at the top of **AI Strategy Studio** to open the AI assistant right beside the studio. Tell it your rules in plain words (by text or voice) and it builds a complete strategy in seconds, filling in any unspoken part with smart **4CastMachine AI** defaults. Example: in the AI Strategy Studio header, you click **✦** to open **AI Trading Assistant** beside the studio, ask it to build the default **4CastMachine AI strategy** for day trading on the 1-hour EURUSD chart, and then open a `$5,000` virtual account and start a live run on it. ## Open assistant side by side with studio 1. In the top bar of **AI Strategy Studio**, click **✦** (**Ask the AI Trading Assistant**) to place the **AI Trading Assistant** window right beside the studio so both windows stay visible at the same time. 2. Above the message box, the **From AI Strategy Studio** section shows ready-made prompts for your active strategy. With one click, you can ask the assistant to build a new strategy, explain the current strategy in plain words, review its weak points or start running it on a virtual account. 3. You can also click the microphone icon and describe your entry, stop loss, take profit and risk rules by voice (or by typing in your language). ![AI Trading Assistant window next to AI Strategy Studio showing the ✦ button and From AI Strategy Studio starter chips](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/7b/7b7060bb52107c4cbdd71a9d1b1bbc841edc4d9e7b74d9f1510599556f82f882.png) AI Trading Assistant working side by side with the AI Strategy Studio window 1.

Chat box for asking to build or change any strategy rule. ## Ask the assistant to build a strategy 1. When you ask the assistant to build a strategy, any take profit, stop loss or management part you leave out of your message is automatically filled in with the default **4CastMachine AI** rules on that timeframe. 2. Review the **New strategy** confirmation card shown by the assistant and click **Show on chart** to draw the sample entry, stop loss, targets and break-even lines on the current chart before saving. 3. Click **Save** to create the setups and the strategy, then click **Open on the chart** to open it directly in AI Strategy Studio. ![AI Trading Assistant window showing a plain-language prompt and the New strategy confirmation card with the four-color strategy sentence and Save and Show on chart buttons.](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/8e/8e5f61dc283faf4b6528561c56df3fce05106b886602355e434d9aafa9b5454d.png) New strategy preview card in AI Trading Assistant with Show on chart and Save buttons 1.
