Frequently asked questions
Can I log both legs of a pair trade in Mantis?
Yes. You can record each leg separately with its own price, size, and direction, then add notes linking them as a single pairs trade. Custom fields let you annotate the spread width, correlation assumption, and hedge ratio for the setup.
How does Mantis help me review pairs trading performance?
Filter and analyze your trades by entry conditions, correlation levels, sector pairs, or market regime. Review statistics on win rate, average hold time, and P&L by pair type to see which setups align best with your edge.
Is my data synced to the cloud?
No. Mantis stores all journal entries locally on your device only. There is no cloud backup or sync feature. Your trade data remains private and never leaves your phone or tablet.
Can I export my pairs trading journal?
Yes. You can export your trades in CSV or PDF format for further analysis in spreadsheets or charting tools, making it easy to study long-term patterns and refine your pairs selection criteria.
What should I record for each pairs trade?
Document the pair names, leg prices and sizes, entry date/time, exit date/time, spread width at entry, your correlation assumption, hedge ratio, any slippage or execution notes, and the reason you closed the trade. This detail supports honest, actionable review.
