Track stock trades made by U.S. senators and representatives. Searchable congressional trading data with political party breakdown, sector exposure, and trade volume analysis.
Members of Congress are required by the STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act) to publicly disclose personal stock trades within 45 days of a transaction. This tracker aggregates those filings into a searchable, real-time feed so individual investors can see which lawmakers are buying and selling — and in which sectors their committee assignments give them unique informational advantages.
How to use
Use the ticker and member search filters to narrow trades to a specific stock or politician. Filter by committee to surface trades by members who oversee that industry. The heat map at the top shows net buy/sell pressure across all tickers for the selected period — green means more members are buying, red means more are selling. Click any member's name to open their full trading history and portfolio breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track congressional stock trades?
Congressional stock trades are publicly disclosed through the House and Senate STOCK Act filing portals. This tracker automatically pulls those disclosures and displays them here in real time. You can filter by member name, ticker symbol, committee, or dollar amount to find the trades most relevant to you.
What is the STOCK Act and why does it exist?
The STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act), signed into law in 2012, prohibits members of Congress and their staff from using non-public information gained through their legislative work to trade securities. It also requires them to publicly disclose trades over $1,000 within 45 days of the transaction. The law was designed to prevent insider trading and restore public trust.
Which congressmen traded a specific stock?
Type any ticker symbol into the 'Ticker' search box at the top of the page to instantly filter the trade feed to just that stock. You'll see every member who bought or sold it within the selected time period, along with the reported dollar range and how many days after the trade they disclosed it.
How do I filter trades by Congressional committee?
Use the 'Committee' dropdown in the header to filter trades to members who sit on a specific committee. This is powerful for spotting trades in sectors that committee oversees — for example, Energy and Commerce members trading energy stocks, or Armed Services members trading defense contractors.
What does the disclosure delay mean?
The 'Delay' column shows how many days elapsed between when the trade occurred and when the member filed their disclosure. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within 45 days. Delays over 35 days appear in red, 20–35 days in amber, and timely disclosures in green. Chronic late filers are shown in the 'Slowest Disclosures' leaderboard.
Are congressional trade disclosures reliable?
The disclosures are official public filings, but they are self-reported and arrive days or weeks after the actual trade. The dollar amounts are reported as ranges (e.g., $15,001–$50,000) rather than exact figures. Some trades are missing or misfiled, and the data reflects what members reported — not necessarily the complete picture of their trading activity.
