Signal & Setup Tracking
Record the momentum indicators or price action that triggered your entry—moving average crosses, volatility breakouts, or volume spikes. Over time, spot which setups cluster around your best R-multiple outcomes.
Momentum trading demands precision timing and disciplined execution. Mantis helps you capture the habits that matter most—tracking entry signals, exit discipline, and the psychological patterns that separate profitable momentum runs from costly reversals. Build a structured journal right on your device, review what worked (and what didn't), and refine your edge through honest, consistent analysis of every trade you take.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use Mantis to improve my momentum trading?
Log each trade with the signal that prompted entry, your exit criteria, and what actually happened. Review sessions weekly or monthly to identify your most profitable setups, optimal holding periods, and recurring mistakes. This builds actionable data—not opinions—about your edge.
Can I track multiple momentum indicators in one trade entry?
Yes. Mantis lets you add detailed notes, tags, and custom fields to each trade. Record all relevant signals—moving average alignment, volume confirmation, volatility spikes—so you can later filter and review which combinations worked best.
Is my trading data synced to the cloud?
No. Mantis stores all your trades, notes, and statistics locally on your device only. There is no iCloud sync, cloud backup, or server storage. Your journal is private and remains entirely under your control.
How can stats help me as a momentum trader?
Mantis calculates win rate, average R-multiple, holding time, and other metrics filtered by strategy, timeframe, or date range. Use these to answer questions like: 'Which momentum setups have my best win-rate?' or 'Do my longer holds outperform quick exits?'
What if I want to compare two different momentum approaches?
Tag or label each trade by approach (e.g., 'breakout momentum' vs. 'trend continuation'). Then filter your journal and stats by tag to see which method aligns better with your results and psychology.
