What & How
Many traders assume insider trading is always illegal. In fact, corporate insiders may legally trade their company's stock, and they must report every purchase and sale to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Those public filings are where you can find an edge.
University of Michigan professor Nejat Seyhun found that when insiders bought shares of their own companies, the stock tended to beat the market by 8.9% over the following 12 months. When insiders sold, the stock underperformed the market by 5.4%.
Create alerts that notify you when insider stock trades occur. • Watch a specific stock • Or an entire sector • Filter stocks by price range • Use advanced selection criteria • Detect unusual trading patterns
Corporate insiders file thousands of forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) every day. We process all of them but only alert you when we see trades that are relevant to you or match your search criteria.
We store every filing and run it through our analysis to detect patterns in insider buys and sells. Clusters of trades by C-level executives within a short period usually signal stronger conviction.
We love crunching data. We collect technical and fundamental statistics and stock performance indicators from various sources to give you even more trading ideas. Let us know your favorite criteria for selecting trades for your portfolio.
