Why traders use Mantis

Challenge-Phase Tracking

Tag trades by evaluation stage—Phase 1, Phase 2, live funded—and compare metrics like maximum drawdown, daily loss limits, and consistency scores to identify which environments reveal your true edge.

Pre‑Trade Plan Capture

Document your thesis, stop placement, and target before execution so you can audit discipline during fast-moving sessions and avoid impulsive rule breaks that trigger account resets.

Screenshot & Chart Library

Attach entry and exit screenshots directly to each trade, preserving price action context and platform fills for post-session review and pattern recognition across setups.

Drawdown & Risk Analytics

Monitor real-time equity curves, daily P&L swings, and maximum adverse excursion to stay within firm risk parameters and optimize position sizing for consistency scoring.

Private, Local-Only Storage

Every journal entry, photo, and statistic lives exclusively on your device—no cloud backup, no iCloud sync—ensuring your proprietary strategies and firm account details remain completely confidential.

Custom Tags for Firm Rules

Create tags like "No News Trading," "Overnight Hold," or "Max Contracts" to filter trades by compliance and spot recurring violations before they cost you an evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

How does Mantis help me pass prop-firm evaluations?

Mantis lets you log every trade with entry rationale, risk parameters, and tags for firm rules, so you can review which setups honor drawdown limits and consistency targets. By analyzing win rates and average winners versus losers across challenge phases, you refine the discipline and statistical edge evaluators look for.

Can I track multiple funded accounts or evaluation attempts?

Yes. Use custom tags or notes to distinguish between different prop firms, account sizes, or evaluation cycles, then filter your trade history to compare performance across each environment and identify which rule sets suit your style.

What metrics matter most for prop traders in Mantis?

Focus on maximum drawdown, daily loss as a percentage of starting balance, average risk-reward ratio, and win-rate consistency. Mantis calculates these automatically from your logged trades, helping you spot overtrading, revenge trades, or rule violations before they reset an account.

Is my prop-firm account data secure in Mantis?

Absolutely. Mantis stores all journal entries, screenshots, and statistics locally on your device only—no cloud sync, no external servers. Your strategies, firm affiliations, and performance data remain private and never leave your iPhone or iPad.

How do I review trades after a losing streak in a challenge?

Filter by date range or custom tags like "Tilt" or "Revenge Trade," then read your pre-trade notes and compare them to actual outcomes. Screenshots show whether you followed your plan or chased price, making it easier to correct emotional patterns and protect your evaluation equity.
