The largest insider buys on NYSE and Nasdaq, published minutes after they are filed.
Officers and directors who buy shares in their own company must report it to the SEC within two business days. We read every one of those filings and publish only the large, unplanned purchases, minutes after the SEC does.
Officers and directors who buy shares in their own company must report it to the SEC within two business days. We read every one of those filings and publish only the large, unplanned purchases, minutes after the SEC does.
What qualifies: bought on the open market, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more, by an officer or a director, with no pre-scheduled plan sitting behind it. When an insider buys and the filing arrives in the same trading session, we alert you within minutes, on your phone and in your inbox, with the market price at that moment, so there is an opportunity to act shortly after the purchase itself. Everything else is in your dashboard and the daily email after the close.

Every filing that clears the filter goes into one running figure, tracked from the price the insider actually paid, with the same amount of money behind each one. At $1,000 per filing that works out as $0 in and — today. It is an illustration of the method rather than a portfolio, and it ignores costs, spreads and taxes.
One filing counts as one position. So when six executives at the same company all buy on the same afternoon, that company shows up six times, because quietly collapsing them into one would flatter the number and we would rather you saw the mechanism than a decoration.
It is a young figure and it will have bad weeks. The method is published in full, so you can check it against the rows yourself.

Alongside it we keep a second figure, for the push alert tracker. It holds only the filings we alert on, which means the purchase and the filing fall in the same trading session and the filing arrives while the market is open. Those are measured not from the insider's price but from the market price at the minute we send the alert, so the figure reflects a price you could actually see on screen at the moment the alert landed.
The alert tracker rests on far fewer filings, so a single name moves it considerably. The two numbers cover different sets of filings and are not directly comparable.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Five steps, and then we get out of the way
We read everything.
Every trading day, American executives are legally obliged to disclose what they bought. That obligation is the reason this data exists at all, and it is the reason nobody can quietly opt out of it. We watch the filings as they publish.
We throw most of it away.
The rules are fixed and public: open market only, $250,000 and up, officers and directors, no 10b5-1 plan attached, no micro caps under $300 million, nothing that listed in the past six months. A filing either clears all of that or it never reaches your screen. There is no editorial judgement involved and no house favourites.
You get one screen.
Who bought, what they run, how many shares and at what price, what it cost them, how large the company is, and whether they filed the same day. Next to every row sits its performance since the purchase, measured from the insider's own entry price rather than from whenever you happened to look. Sort it, filter it, star what you care about.
What is a push notification?
When an insider buys and the filing arrives in the same trading session, between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, we alert you within minutes, on your phone and in your inbox, with the market price at that moment. That is the one case where there is an opportunity to act shortly after the purchase itself.
And one email.
Once the SEC window has shut for the day, the complete session lands in your inbox. Not a selection, not a top three. Everything that got through. Some days that is one filing. On a busy Monday it can be thirteen. Now and then the honest answer is that nothing qualified, and we tell you that instead of padding the list.
Chief executives buying their own stock is one of the few things in this market that isn't an opinion.
Insiders sell for a hundred reasons. School fees, a divorce, a house in Montana, a diversification rule their adviser insisted on. That is why selling tells you almost nothing.
Buying is narrower. There is really only one reason to put your own money into your own company at the market price, and everyone involved knows it.
Nobody is better informed.
A chief financial officer knows roughly what the quarter looks like about six weeks before you do. That is not a scandal, it is the job. When someone with that view decides to increase their stake, they are acting on the clearest picture of the business that exists anywhere.
These shares were bought, not handed over.
An option grant is compensation. A vesting award is a calendar entry. A purchase on the open market means somebody paid the going price on the same screen you would use, and now carries the whole of the downside.
Nothing scheduled counts here.
Executives can set up a plan that buys or sells automatically on dates chosen months in advance, and those trades tell you what the person thought last winter. We are not interested in last winter. Every purchase we show was decided in the moment, by someone who could just as easily have done nothing.
Live all day, wrapped up at night
The dashboard is not a nightly batch. Every filing that clears the rules goes up within minutes of the SEC publishing it, right through the American trading session and on into the evening, until the filing window shuts at ten at night in New York, four in the morning in Amsterdam.
When an insider buys and the filing arrives in the same trading session, we alert you within minutes, on your phone and in your inbox, with the market price at that moment, so there is an opportunity to act shortly after the purchase itself. Filings that report a purchase from an earlier day are not alerted; they go straight to the dashboard and the daily email.
Half an hour after the window shuts, the email goes out with the entire session in it. In New York it arrives the same evening at half past ten. In London and Amsterdam it is sitting there when you get up.
Everything that arrived after the close is in the dashboard and in that email, with the whole night ahead of you. The next opening bell is eleven hours off: half past nine in the morning in New York, half past three in the afternoon in Amsterdam. Time to read it properly, look up what you don't recognise, and decide nothing in a hurry.

Questions people actually ask
How does the trial work?+
Seven days of the real thing: the live dashboard, the alerts by push and email while the market is open, and the daily email after the close, exactly as members see them. We take a card at sign-up but charge nothing during the trial, and three days before it ends we email to remind you it is about to start. Cancel before day seven and you pay nothing at all.
Do you tell me what to buy?+
No, and we never will. We report filings that are already public. What you do with them is entirely your business, and if you want advice, that is a conversation for a qualified adviser rather than a website.
Where does this come from?+
Form 4 filings made to the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Every row on your dashboard traces back to a document you can open and read for yourself, and we would encourage you to do exactly that.
Why draw the line at $250,000?+
Because below it the noise wins. Small purchases are often routine, symbolic, or something an adviser suggested. A quarter of a million dollars committed at the market price is nobody's gesture.
Why nothing tiny and nothing newly listed?+
Both distort what you are looking at. In a very small company an ordinary purchase looks enormous, and in the first months after a listing there is no normal trading pattern to compare anything against. So we require a $300 million market cap at the time of filing and at least six months on the exchange.
What does unplanned actually mean?+
Under Rule 10b5-1 an executive can schedule trades far in advance, which protects them legally and drains the information out of the trade. Those filings carry a checkbox saying so, and we exclude every one of them.
Is it always their own name on it?+
Not always, and this is worth understanding. Some insiders buy through a family trust, a partnership, or an investment vehicle they control, which the Form 4 records as indirect ownership. It is still an open-market purchase at the market price, reported by the same person, but it is not identical to a chief executive buying in his own name. The filing behind every row tells you which one you are looking at.
How often does it update?+
Continuously, through the American trading day and afterwards, until the filing window closes at 10 p.m. in New York (04:00 CET). A qualifying filing reaches your dashboard within minutes of publication, whether the market is open or long shut, and if the purchase was made and filed in that same open session it also goes out as a push and email alert.
What is a push notification?+
It is a short message on your phone or desktop, sent by the site itself once you allow notifications, and the same alert also arrives by email. It fires only when an insider buys and the filing arrives in the same trading session, between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET, within minutes of publication. The price in the alert is the market price at the moment we notify you, so there is an opportunity to act shortly after the purchase itself.
Do I get an alert for every filing?+
No. An alert requires both that the purchase and the filing fall on the same trading day and that we publish it between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET. A filing that arrives after the close, or that reports a purchase from an earlier day, cannot be acted on at a price close to the insider's own, so we do not alert on it; it is in your dashboard and the daily email instead.
When does the daily email arrive?+
The daily email, which is separate from the per-filing alerts, goes out half an hour after the filing window closes: 10:30 p.m. New York time, 04:30 CET. Same evening in the US, first thing in the morning in Europe, and either way many hours before the next open.
Do I need an American broker?+
No. Anything with access to the two exchanges will do.
What is in the daily email exactly?+
The entire session, including the filings you were already alerted about. One filing on a quiet day, a dozen on a busy one, and on the occasional day nothing at all, which we say plainly.
How is market cap worked out?+
Shares outstanding multiplied by the price at the time of filing, so it reflects the company as it stood when the purchase was reported rather than as it stands today.
How do I cancel?+
One click in your account, whenever you like. During the trial that means you were never charged. Afterwards your access simply runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.
The filings are public. Nobody has the evening to read them.
Start now and the dashboard opens immediately, with the last session already on it. The first email arrives half an hour after the filing window shuts. Seven days free, and cancelling before day seven costs you nothing.
