In **AI Strategy Studio**, the AI follows your open trades moment by moment so you never miss a step of your strategy. When your MetaTrader account is connected with the **ForecastFollow** EA, the **Run** tab (under **Real account**, in the **Open trades** sub-tab) shows which steps of your strategy are already done, which step is due right now and which steps are waiting for price. It also turns on automatic target and stop alerts and draws the exact new stop level on the chart when a break-even or trailing stop move (including **4CastMachine AI** pivots) is due. Example: you open a `0.50 lots` buy trade on EURUSD in MetaTrader and link it to your strategy. Automatic alerts turn on for your stop and first target, and once price hits the first target, the purple **Strategy: move the stop here** line appears on the chart. ## Link an open trade to your strategy 1. Open your strategy in AI Strategy Studio, go to the **Run** tab (under **Real account**) and open the **Open trades** sub-tab. 2. Under **Open trades on no strategy**, click **Link** next to the trade to attach it to your strategy. 3. Click the open trade card to draw its lines on the chart and read the status of each step: **✅** marks a completed step, **⏳** marks a management action that is due right now, and **◻️** marks targets or steps that are waiting for price. ![Open trades view in AI Strategy Studio showing an open trade card, strategy step statuses, active alerts, the reminder button and recent closed trades.](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/1b/1b10e8fb4d207c05ce3a233d3938773683defb786e15d6596651e6fa1f308415.png) Track open trades linked to your strategy step by step and see stop-move reminders 1.

Whenever price reaches that level, the purple **Strategy: move the stop here** line is drawn on the chart so you can move your stop loss to the new level. ![Management setup window that defines the break-even and trailing stop rules used for open trade reminders](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/b2/b29c2bf8e1b1e9dcce75242875b7c168d9162a172a12bd8931212a02c7dbec34.png) Set the break-even and trailing stop rules that drive open trade reminders 1. **Break-even** rule: trigger condition and the `+1 pip` offset from entry. 2. **Trailing stop** rule: start after break-even and trail behind a **4CM-AI pivot**. 3.
