Congressional Stock Trading Tracker
Congressional Trader turns public STOCK Act disclosures into a searchable tracker for lawmakers, tickers, sectors, and notable trades.
What the tracker covers
Members of Congress and covered family members must disclose many stock, option, and securities transactions under the STOCK Act. The public filings include the lawmaker, transaction date, filing date, asset, transaction type, and a dollar range rather than an exact amount.
A useful tracker needs to preserve that uncertainty instead of pretending the data is exact. Congressional Trader keeps amount ranges visible, shows filing delay, and routes each trade into politician, ticker, sector, and state pages.
- Search by politician, ticker, party, chamber, state, and transaction type.
- Use notable trade flags to find large, fast-filed, or committee-relevant disclosures.
- Follow politician and ticker pages when you want repeat monitoring instead of one-off browsing.
How to interpret a disclosure
The trade date is when the transaction happened. The filing date is when the disclosure became public. That gap matters because the legal window can make a trade weeks old before the market sees it.
Purchases, large reported ranges, fast filings, and committee overlap usually deserve more attention than small routine sales. None of those signals proves intent or predicts returns on its own.
Best next step
Start with the live feed if you want the newest filings. Use the leaderboard if you want historical performance context. Use politician pages if you care about a specific lawmaker's pattern over time.

FAQ
Is congressional stock trading data public?
Yes. STOCK Act disclosures are public, but they are spread across official House and Senate systems and can be difficult to monitor manually.
Are disclosures real-time?
No. The law allows delayed reporting, so a newly filed disclosure may describe a trade that happened days or weeks earlier.
