Question 1

Can I get free alerts when a member of Congress trades a stock?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tracefour sends free email alerts when a member of Congress files a STOCK Act periodic transaction report. Alerts are set per person, so you can follow one member and receive email about only that member. Email alerts are free permanently, with no trial period and no credit card; Tracefour Pro adds tooling on top and never moves the alerts behind it.

Question 2

What is a STOCK Act disclosure?

Accepted Answer

Under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, members of the US House and Senate (and their spouses and dependent children) must publicly disclose any security transaction over $1,000 within 45 days of the trade. The disclosures are filed on the official US Senate and House public disclosure portals.

Question 3

Why are amounts shown as ranges instead of exact figures?

Accepted Answer

The STOCK Act only requires disclosure of bracketed amount ranges (e.g. $1,001–$15,000, $15,001–$50,000, $50,001–$100,000, etc.), never the exact transaction amount. Tracefour displays the disclosed range and computes a midpoint for sizing, but never claims a precise dollar value.

Question 4

Where does the Congress data come from?

Accepted Answer

Tracefour ingests STOCK Act disclosures sourced from the official US Senate and House public disclosure portals. Every row links back to the original PDF on the relevant disclosure portal, which is the authoritative record.

Question 5

How fresh is the Congress data?

Accepted Answer

Congress disclosures are refreshed throughout the day. Note that disclosures themselves can lag the actual trade by up to 45 days under the STOCK Act, so even a freshly-pulled disclosure may describe a trade that is several weeks old.

Question 6

What is "Wallets Aligned"?

Accepted Answer

Wallets Aligned lists tickers where both an SEC Form 4 insider and a member of Congress disclosed a same-direction trade above $50,000 within the same 60-day overlap window. It is a factual cross-reference of the two public datasets, not a signal or recommendation.

Question 7

Which members of Congress trade stocks the most?

Accepted Answer

By disclosed trades in the last 6 months: Rep. Gilbert Ray Cisneros, Jr. (593 trades), Rep. Ro Khanna (487 trades), Rep. Michael T. McCaul (330 trades). 89 members filed at least one periodic transaction report in that window.

Question 8

Which stocks does Congress trade most?

Accepted Answer

The most disclosed tickers over the last 6 months are AAPL (72 trades), MSFT (70 trades), TKNO (68 trades), GOOGL (59 trades), NVDA (44 trades), counting every purchase and sale reported by any member.

Question 9

Which member of Congress has the best 30-day track record?

Accepted Answer

Among members with at least 5 priced trades on record, the highest average move 30 days after the trade date belongs to Sen. John Fetterman (16.1% over 11 trades), then Rep. Chip Roy (12.8% over 7 trades), then Rep. Shri Thanedar (11.6% over 6 trades). A sale counts as favourable when the price fell. This describes past filings and is not a forecast.
