Everything you need to know about tracking politician stock trades
InsiderTrader.pro is a specialized alert service that monitors and reports stock trades made by members of Congress, Senators, and other government officials. We send timely email alerts whenever politicians report new trades, helping you stay informed about potential market movements based on insider knowledge.
Our system automatically monitors official government disclosures for stock transactions reported by politicians. When new trades are reported, we analyze the data and send subscribers email alerts with details about which politician made the trade, what stocks were involved, the transaction value, and the reporting date. We also provide additional context including price changes, analyst ratings, and relevant committee memberships.
Members of Congress and other government officials often have access to non-public information that can influence financial markets. Research has shown that many politicians' portfolios outperform the market averages significantly. By tracking their trading activity, you can gain insights that might inform your own investment decisions.
Absolutely. We only aggregate and distribute publicly available information that politicians are legally required to disclose under the STOCK Act of 2012. We're simply making this information more accessible and actionable for everyday investors. It's important to note that we are not selling reports or financial advice - the service we provide is delivering this publicly available information to you in a timely, convenient format.
InsiderTrader.pro costs just $9.99 per year (or $1.99 per month if you choose monthly billing). This affordable price point is designed to ensure that your subscription fees don't eat into your investment returns. Unlike automated trading services that can charge $10 or more per month, our annual fee means you keep more of your gains.
You can cancel your subscription anytime through the "Manage Subscription" link in any of the emails you receive from us. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period, and you won't be charged again after cancellation. If you need help cancelling, please contact us at support@insidertrader.pro.
Subscribers receive alerts shortly after trades appear in official disclosures. While politicians may report trades up to 45 days after making them per current disclosure laws, many trades are actually reported within just a few days of the transaction. Our service keeps you informed as soon as this information becomes publicly available.
Each alert includes: the politician's name and position, the stock ticker symbol, transaction type (buy/sell), transaction date, disclosure date, estimated transaction value range, price changes since disclosure, analyst ratings and price targets, committee memberships of the politician, recent bills they voted on, and other contextual information to help you make informed decisions.
Our data comes directly from official government disclosure filings, primarily from the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate Financial Disclosures portal. We process and verify this data to ensure accuracy before sending alerts.
We strive for 100% accuracy in our reporting. However, the disclosure forms filed by politicians sometimes contain limited information. For example, they only need to report trade values in broad ranges rather than exact amounts. We provide all available information and clearly note any limitations.
