Event-driven trading requires sharp timing and disciplined execution around market catalysts—earnings releases, economic data, regulatory announcements, and corporate actions. Mantis helps you capture why you entered each trade, document the specific event that triggered your decision, and review your reactions to real-world market shifts. By journaling your event-driven setups locally on your device, you build a searchable record of patterns, emotional responses, and decision quality that matter most when trades hinge on timing and information flow.

Record the exact catalyst—earnings surprise, Fed announcement, product launch, or sector rotation—that prompted each trade entry. Review which events consistently align with your best execution and which ones lead to overextension.
Document your reasoning before and after each trade: the news or data that moved the market, your conviction level, and how quickly you adapted. Spot patterns in your responsiveness to different event types.
All journal entries stay on your iPhone—no cloud sync, no external servers. Your trade records, event notes, and decision logs remain private and under your control.
Filter trades by event category, time window, or outcome to uncover which catalysts align with your edge. Identify win rates, average hold times, and common mistakes by event type.
Log trades and event details on the go during market hours, ensuring you capture raw observations while the catalyst is fresh—not hours later from memory.
Create a new trade entry and use the notes field to document the specific event (earnings, economic data, announcement, etc.), your conviction level, and the exact moment you decided to enter. Include what changed in the market to trigger your exit. This builds a searchable history of your event-based decisions.

No. Mantis stores all data locally on your iPhone only. There is no automatic cloud sync or backup service. You remain the sole custodian of your trade records and journal entries.
Review your past trades by filtering for similar events, market conditions, or time periods. Look for patterns: Do you execute better on earnings surprises or macro data? How quickly do you react? What emotional biases show up? Use these insights to refine your preparation and decision-making for the next catalyst.
