Live tracker of corporate insider trades — CEOs, CFOs and 10 %+ shareholders buying or selling their own company’s stock. Filed via SEC Form 4 and refreshed throughout the trading day.

Why insider trading data matters

When the CEO of a company buys $1M of their own stock on the open market, they are sending an unambiguous signal. Insiders have access to information no outside investor will ever see — pipeline visibility, customer-renewal rates, internal forecasts. SEC research has shown that a basket of stocks with strong open-market insider buying outperforms the S&P 500 by ~6 % per year. Conversely, large insider selling — particularly clustered selling by multiple executives — has historically preceded major drawdowns at companies like Enron, Wirecard and FTX. The signal is far from perfect (executives sell for tax, divorce, diversification reasons too) but it is one of the few datasets where you can literally watch what insiders do, not what they say.

How to interpret what you see

Look for three patterns. First: cluster buying — multiple insiders buying within the same 30-day window, typically the strongest bullish signal. Second: conviction-size purchases — buys above $250K matter more than tiny pro-rata vesting buys. Third: 10b5-1 plans vs. open-market — pre-scheduled sales (10b5-1) are largely meaningless; open-market discretionary sales by the CEO/CFO are the ones to flag. Use this tracker alongside fundamental analysis, never as a standalone signal.
