Real-Time Event Logging
Record news events, expected times, and your pre-trade thesis instantly. Capture volatility forecasts and your intended strategy before the market moves, then compare plan versus execution.
News trading requires split-second decisions and precise execution—but without a structured journal, you'll lose sight of what actually worked. Mantis helps news traders document economic releases, earnings announcements, and market-moving events in real time, then review patterns in your reactions and entry timing. Track how you respond to volatility spikes, log your rationale before the news drops, and build a repeatable process that separates emotional trades from strategic ones. All your data stays private and local on your device—no syncing, no cloud uploads.

Frequently asked questions
Can I log trades before the news announcement?
Yes. Mantis lets you record your thesis, expected move, and trade plan before the event. This helps you stay disciplined and compare your pre-market bias against actual execution.
How do I track which news events gave me my best trades?
Tag each trade with the event type (e.g., 'Fed Rate Decision', 'Nonfarm Payroll'). Then review your stats by tag to see which announcements align with your edge and which ones you should avoid.
Is my journal data backed up to the cloud?
No. Mantis stores all data locally on your device only. Your trades, notes, and analysis never leave your phone—giving you full privacy and control.
Can I review my emotional responses over time?
Absolutely. Use notes and tags to flag trades where emotion drove decisions (e.g., 'FOMO entry', 'panic close'). Over weeks and months, you'll spot recurring patterns and adjust your process.
Does Mantis tell me which news to trade?
No. Mantis is a journal—it helps you document your own strategy, track outcomes, and refine your approach. The decision on which announcements to trade is always yours.
