Congressional trading performance leaderboard
Rank members of Congress by benchmark-relative performance on disclosed stock purchases. Use alpha, win rate, trade count, and filing-delay context together before treating any politician as a repeatable trading signal.
Methodology
Alpha compares disclosed stock purchases with SPY after the trade date. Win rate is the share of purchases that outperformed SPY for the selected window.

A congressional trading rank is strongest when performance, win rate, and sample size point in the same direction. A lawmaker with a high alpha on two purchases should be treated differently from one with a durable pattern across many tracked disclosures.
30d alpha
Average excess return versus SPY 30 days after each disclosed stock purchase.
90d alpha
A longer benchmark-relative return window for the same tracked purchase history.
30d win rate
The share of tracked purchases that outperformed SPY over the 30-day window.
Trades
The sample size behind the rank. A high score with few trades needs more caution.

Leaderboard FAQ
Who are the best performing congressional stock traders?
The leaderboard ranks tracked lawmakers by benchmark-relative post-trade metrics, including alpha, win rate, and trade count. The rank should be read with sample size and filing-delay caveats.
What does alpha mean on this leaderboard?
Alpha is the excess return of disclosed stock purchases compared with a broad benchmark such as SPY over a chosen window.
Why does trade count matter?
A high win rate based on very few disclosures is less reliable than a pattern supported by many comparable trades.
Should I copy the top-ranked politicians?
No. Congressional disclosures are delayed and incomplete. The leaderboard is for research and monitoring, not investment advice.
