✅ Pro Tips for Using the Calculator

• Use the PNL calculator before placing any orders to visualize risk vs. reward clearly.

• Adjust leverage based on your risk appetite, not just potential profit.
• Use Isolated Margin to contain losses within a single trade when using higher leverage.

🛡️ Final Reminder

The calculator is a helpful risk management tool, but trading involves inherent risks. Always Do Your Own Research (DYOR) and consider using stop-loss and take-profit orders.
