SEC Form 4 Insider Trading Tracker

Parses SEC Form 4 filings to expose actual insider transactions: CEO/CFO/Director open-market buys & sells, options exercises, awards. Returns ticker, insider name, role, transaction code, shares, price, USD value. Strong quant signal source.


Why this exists

When a CEO buys $5M of their own stock on the open market, the stock tends to outperform over the next 12 months. This pattern — and dozens of others — drive a whole class of quant strategies.

The data is free at SEC EDGAR — but parsing it requires:

  1. Watching the Form 4 atom feed
  2. For each filing, fetching and parsing the underlying ownership XML
  3. Decoding transaction codes (P/S/A/M/F/G/D/C/X)

This actor automates the whole pipeline and returns one clean row per transaction.

SOpen-market sale
AGrant / award (compensation)

The onlyBuys filter keeps just A (acquisitions) — useful for filtering noise.


Use cases

  1. Quant alpha — Open-market insider buys > $1M historically outperform the S&P by ~4% over 12 months
  2. Cluster signal — Multiple insiders buying same ticker within 30d = strong conviction
  3. Avoid distribution — Large CEO/CFO sells often precede negative news
  4. Earnings prep — Insider trades in the 30 days before earnings are highly informative
  5. Compliance — Daily snapshot of insider activity for your portfolio companies
