Track insider trading from SEC Form 4 and Form 5 filings: one clean row per transaction with the insider's name and role as filed (director, officer and title, 10% owner), transaction date, SEC transaction code and its meaning (open-market purchase, sale, award, option exercise, tax withholding, gift), shares, price, dollar value, shares owned afterwards, direct or indirect ownership, the Rule 10b5-1 flag and the filing's footnotes. Look up companies by ticker, CIK or name, or read the latest filings of all companies to spot insider buying across the market. Built for investors, quant and research teams, journalists and AI agents.

## FAQ

**Which transactions are included?**

Every transaction in Table I (shares) and, unless switched off, Table II (options, RSUs, warrants) of Forms 4 and 5, including amendments. Holdings reported without a transaction are not rows. Filter by transaction code, for example P for open-market purchases.

**Can I see trades across all companies?**

Yes: leave companies empty to read the latest Form 4 and 5 filings of all companies in the date window (default: the last 3 days), newest filing date first, combined with code and value filters to find, for example, large open-market purchases.
