The market's vital signs.
One number tells you if the wind is at your back. Six signals, blended into a single risk-on / risk-off score. Updated through the session.
Charts don't read regimes.
You can read every setup correctly and still get stopped out because the macro tape was against you. VIX, the yield curve, credit spreads — they all move on different timescales and most traders only check one. None of them, alone, answers the question that actually matters: is today a day to push, or a day to defend?
What you get with Mantis.
One score on the dashboard. A gauge from 0 to 100. Above 70, the macro tape is risk-on — your breakout setups are working with the wind. Below 30, the tape is risk-off — your hedges should be on, your sizing should be lighter, and your patience for new longs should be higher. Between, the regime is mixed and you trade it accordingly.
Tap the gauge and the radar opens. Six axes show you which signals are driving the score and which are fighting it. A neutral overall number can mean 'everything's quiet' or 'the curve is screaming risk-off while VIX hasn't caught up yet.' The radar tells you which it is. That's the difference between a regime read and a single number.
When the score moves more than 15 points in a session — a meaningful regime shift — you get a push notification with the components that flipped. The first time you see 'macro just moved to risk-off' before your portfolio takes the hit, you'll understand why this feature is worth the subscription.
How it fits your day.
Glance at the gauge before your first trade of the day — pre-market for US session traders, before the European open if you're in equities. If the score's above 70 and aligned, you size up your longs with confidence. If it's below 30 and the radar is uniformly red, you stay smaller and look for hedges. Most days, the score moves gradually — the value is the regime context you carry through every decision. The rare days the score flips fast are exactly the days you'd otherwise be caught flat-footed; those are the days the macro card earns its keep.
