The smarter way to track your trades. Log every position, analyze your P/L, and import directly from Interactive Brokers — no CSV downloads, no manual entry. Mantis is the trading journal built for serious traders. JOURNAL SEARCH Filter your journal by ticker or symbol right from the list. Type the first letters of any symbol and your positions narrow instantly — no scrolling through hundreds of trades to find the one you want to review. WEEKLY REPORT A clear weekly snapshot of your trading: realized P/L, win rate, best and worst days, and a real daily P/L trend across the week. Empty and open-position weeks each get their own clear state, so the report always tells you what happened — or that nothing did. Pro unlocks historical weeks; free users see this week. IMPORT FROM INTERACTIVE BROKERS Connect once using your IB Flex Query credentials, then tap "Import Now" to pull your trades automatically. Choose to import since your last sync, the last 7 days, or a custom date range. Duplicate detection keeps your journal clean — re-importing never creates double entries. Optional import diagnostics show parsed, imported, and skipped counts; you can email a count-only summary to support without sharing symbols, prices, or account details. COMPANY LOGOS ACROSS YOUR JOURNAL Every position card displays the company logo. Recognize your trades at a glance — stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex pairs, and futures all look great with graceful fallbacks for lesser-known symbols. TRACK YOUR P&L See realized profit and loss across positions, date ranges, and strategy tags. The calendar heatmap highlights your best and worst trading days. The equity curve groups same-day exits for a cleaner read of your weekly progression. EMOTION & PSYCHOLOGY TRACKING Log how you felt on every trade — confident, patient, fearful, impulsive. Unified emotion icons, full VoiceOver support, and localized analytics make psychology tracking clear in every language. Over time, Mantis shows you the relationship between your mindset and your results. ANALYTICS THAT DRIVE IMPROVEMENT Win rate, average R-multiple, time-of-day breakdown, emotion impact on P/L — know exactly where your edge is and where it isn't. Trading Insights stay evenly laid out in every language and at larger text sizes. Premium analytics go deep on strategy performance and emotional patterns. LOG EVERY EXECUTION Entry, scale-in, partial close, full exit — every execution is tracked separately. Strategy tags and emotion now live on the position, so a single tap labels the whole trade; add a per-trade override only when one execution is genuinely different. Add stop loss, confidence level, and notes. Your complete trading diary in one place. IMPORT FROM ANY BROKER CSV Not using Interactive Brokers? Upload a standard CSV export from any broker and Mantis maps your trades automatically. Stocks, crypto, forex, options, and futures supported. ——— Mantis Premium Unlock unlimited trade logging, the full analytics dashboard, the historical Weekly Report, CSV export, and emotion analytics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Day at 5.0 against Trading Journal's 4.5. Trading Journal's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Trading Journal sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Day sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Day holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trading Journal has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
