Frequently asked questions
Can I use Mantis to journal crude oil trades from any broker or exchange?
Yes. Mantis is a standalone journal that works with any broker or trading venue. You manually log your trades—entry price, size, exit price, and notes—making it flexible regardless of where you trade.
Is my trading data backed up to iCloud or the cloud?
No. Mantis stores all data locally on your iPhone only. There is no cloud backup or syncing. Your journal remains private and under your control on your device.
What should I record in a crude oil trading journal?
Record your entry and exit prices, position size, contract type (WTI, Brent, etc.), date and time, outcome, and any relevant notes about market conditions or your reasoning. This creates a complete record to review performance and identify patterns.
How does journaling help me improve as a crude oil trader?
A journal lets you review what worked and what didn't. By tracking entries, exits, and market conditions over time, you can spot patterns in your best and worst trades, test hypotheses, and make more informed decisions.
Can I export or share my trading journal from Mantis?
Mantis keeps your data on your device for privacy. You can review and analyze your trades within the app. For external sharing or backup, you would manage that separately outside the app.
