The calculator box provides additional details, including the time remaining until the next bar, the Risk to Reward (R/R) ratio, and the trade volume.

The calculator box further offers useful information, including the time remaining until the next candle (Time to the next bar), the Risk to Reward (R/R) ratio, and the trade volume, aiding in effective capital management.
