The problem

Trading without a journal is gambling.

If you're not tracking, you're not improving.

You're repeating the same mistakes

Without a journal, patterns stay invisible. You keep taking losing setups because you never see them clearly laid out in front of you.

Emotions are killing your edge

FOMO, revenge trades, overconfidence — you know they hurt you, but you don't know by how much. Data reveals the truth your gut hides.

You don't know your real win rate

Are you actually profitable? Which setups work? What time of day? Without tracking, every decision is a guess dressed as a strategy.

FAQ

Trading journal questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before you start journaling.

Is my data private?

Yes, 100%. All your trade data is stored locally on your device. There's no account required, no cloud sync by default, and we never see or access your trading data. Your journal is yours alone.

What's the difference between Free and Premium?

Free gives you 10 trades per month, position tracking, live prices, emotion tracking, and basic analytics. Premium ($4.99/month or $29.99/year in the US) unlocks unlimited trades, weekly behavioral reports, CSV import/export, advanced charts, and R-multiple tracking. Start free and upgrade when you need more.

Can I import trades from my broker?

Yes! You can import trades from TraderSync, Tradervue, and Interactive Brokers (IBKR). We also support manual entry and CSV imports for maximum flexibility.

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets can't track emotions, calculate R-multiples automatically, show you time-of-day performance, or give you weekly behavioral insights. Mantis does all of this in under 30 seconds per trade. Most importantly, you'll actually use it.

Does it support crypto, forex, and options?

Yes! Mantis supports any tradeable instrument — stocks, options, futures, forex, crypto, you name it. If you can trade it, you can journal it.

What iOS version do I need?

Mantis requires iOS 18 or later. We use the latest iOS features to give you the smoothest, most native experience possible.

How does emotion tracking work?

When logging a trade, you select from 6 emotional states: Confident, Anxious, FOMO, Revenge, Calm, or Overconfident. Over time, Mantis shows you correlation charts revealing how your emotions affect your win rate and P/L.

Can I export my data?

Absolutely. You can export all your trades to CSV anytime. Your data is yours — we make it easy to take it with you.
