Multi-week trade tracking
Log entry date, thesis, entry price, and initial stop—then review your rationale each time the trade reaches a milestone or update. Mantis stores everything locally so you can access your position notes anytime.
Position trading demands patience, conviction, and a clear record of your thesis over weeks or months. Mantis helps you document the setup, entry logic, and management decisions that define your longer-term trades—so you can review what worked, what didn't, and refine your approach over time.
Unlike day or swing trading, position trades require deep conviction and periodic check-ins. Keep all your notes, charts, and outcomes on your device, with no cloud dependency, so your trading data stays private and always accessible when you need to review a trade's full history.

Frequently asked questions
How do I record a position trade that spans multiple weeks?
Enter your initial setup and entry details on day one, including your thesis and stop level. As the trade develops, use the edit and update features to log partial exits, adjustments, or thesis changes. When you close, record your final exit and outcome—Mantis keeps the full history in one place.
Can I add charts or reference images to my trade notes?
Yes. Mantis lets you attach images (screenshots of charts, setups, or reference points) directly to your journal entry. This helps you visualize the exact setup you identified when you entered the trade.
What happens to my trade data if I switch phones or update the app?
Your journal data is stored locally on your device. Mantis does not use cloud sync or iCloud backup. If you upgrade or switch devices, you'll need to manage your data transfer separately. Always keep backups of important trading records.
How can I use my journal to improve my position-trading plan?
Review your stats regularly: win rate, average hold period, profit factor, and outcomes by sector or theme. Look for patterns in your winners vs. losers—entry triggers, hold duration, exit discipline—to refine your criteria and conviction rules.
Can I filter or search my trades by theme or setup type?
You can organize and tag your trades by strategy, sector, or setup type, making it easy to review a category of trades. This helps you spot recurring patterns and identify which themes align with your strengths as a position trader.
