Base Principle

At its heart, MantaRisk's core mission is to allow you to think before acting. It does this by:

  1. Analysing your trades to help you create a risk management strategy fit for your style of trading
  2. Allowing you to analyse an order you would like to place before placing it, giving you a chance to not take a position if your risk management strategy is not respected
  3. Providing you with analytics to either support or question your setup, including commentary for each elements of your risk strategy

Modules

MantaRisk is divided into 3 modules

Trading Analysis (beta)

Either through a direct connection with your broker or a CSV file, this module loads your trades and uses AI (combinatorial optimisation heuristics on top of our backtesting engine) to find the most optimal combination of risk management rules for your trading style. The Performance section provides a summary of the performance of your actual trades, as you took them whereas the Trading Analysis section provides a quantitative analysis of what would have happened if you had consistently applied the selected rules. The outcome is a recommendation of which rules to include in your risk management strategy to match your specific trading style. The tool quantifies the benefits each rule would have brought, for instance "risk management rule X would have improved your PnL by x".

Validate Order (beta)

This module allows you to validate a trade setup against your risk management strategy before placing the order with your broker. The objective is to take the emotions out of trading and act in a disciplined manner, a key to success in trading.

Portfolio Monitoring (coming soon)

This final module aims to add depth to the order validation by having an overview of your current portfolio. This allows MantaRisk to advise you when you are overexposed on correlated instruments for instance. This module is also where you can monitor setups which are not currently deemed acceptable from a risk perspective but may become soon (e.g. trend reversal).
