Range Trading Journal for iOS Traders

Range trading thrives on consistency and pattern recognition—buying support, selling resistance, and repeating the cycle. Mantis gives you a dedicated journal to track every entry, exit, and support/resistance level you identify. Record your setup conditions, note what triggered each trade, and build a personal playbook of your range-bound setups. Over time, you'll spot which price zones work best for your style, refine your timing, and measure whether your ranges are holding as expected. All your data stays private on your device—no syncing, no cloud upload.

Frequently asked questions

How do I log a range trade in Mantis?

Open a new trade entry, set your entry price and support/resistance zone, add notes about what confirmed the setup (e.g., rejection at resistance, bounce from support), and record your exit. Later, mark it closed and note any lessons learned.

Can I track multiple ranges on the same chart or instrument?

Yes. Create separate trade entries for each range setup you're monitoring. Use notes to distinguish between, say, a short-term intraday range and a longer-term swing range on the same asset.

Does Mantis sync my journal to the cloud or iCloud?

No. Mantis stores all your journal data locally on your device only. There is no cloud sync or automatic backup—your trades remain private and under your control.

How can I review my range trading statistics?

Mantis shows your win rate, average trade duration, and trade count. Filter by date, symbol, or outcome to analyze specific periods or ranges where you found the most success.

Is Mantis suitable for other trading strategies?

Yes. While designed with range traders in mind, Mantis works for any trading style—swing, day trading, scalping, and more. Customize your notes to fit your approach.
