Senate & House Trades

🏛️ Guide: How to Use Senate & House Trading Tracker for Smarter Investing

🔍 What Is This Tool?

This tracker helps you monitor stock trades made by U.S. Senators and House Representatives, based on public disclosures. It includes who traded, when, what stock, and the estimated amount — all useful for spotting potential investment trends influenced by political insiders.

💹 How to Use (Financially)

1. Spot Patterns in Politician Behavior

   • Track repeated purchases of specific stocks by influential members of Congress. If multiple insiders are buying the same company, it could suggest confidence in upcoming performance.

2. Use as Early Signal

   • These disclosures are often delayed, but still useful. If a politician bought XYZ stock a few weeks ago and the stock hasn’t moved yet, it may still be early to consider.

3. Cross-Reference with Earnings or Catalysts

   • Compare politician trades with earnings dates, government contracts, or legislation affecting specific sectors (e.g., defense, biotech, clean energy).

4. Evaluate Trade Size

   • Pay attention to the amount traded. A small trade may be routine; a large trade ($100K+) might indicate conviction or privileged insight.

5. Track Recurring Names

   • If certain politicians consistently outperform the market with their trades, consider tracking their future trades as part of your watchlist strategy.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

• These are not guaranteed signals. Use them as part of a larger research strategy.

• Delays in reporting mean timing is not always optimal.

• Combine with other tools like technical charts, earnings calendars, and insider statistics for confirmation.
