Why this matters

Congress has access to information you don't. Their trades tell a story.

🏛

Committee intelligence

When a senator on the Armed Services Committee buys a defense stock, that's not random. We flag trades that align with committee memberships.

Pre-legislation trades

Politicians often trade before bills they're writing become public. We track the timing between trades and legislative activity.

📊

Pattern detection

When multiple members from both parties suddenly buy the same stock, pay attention. Our AI flags unusual clustering.

🔔

Instant alerts

The moment a new filing hits, you get a text. Don't find out 45 days later from the news.

FAQ

Is it legal to trade based on congressional disclosures?
Yes. The STOCK Act (2012) requires Congress members to publicly disclose their trades. This is public information. Anyone can access and analyze it. We just make it faster and easier.
How quickly do you get the data?
We scan filing databases continuously. Most filings are detected within hours of submission. Members have up to 45 days to report, so the key is catching it the moment they file, not when news outlets pick it up days later.
Do congressional trades really outperform the market?
Multiple academic studies have shown that congressional stock picks outperform the S&P 500 by 6-12% annually. Whether that's skill, luck, or information advantage is debated. The data is the data.
Which politicians trade the most?
Some members file hundreds of trades per year. Our weekly leaderboard (Pro plan) shows the most active traders and their recent performance. Some names will be very familiar.
Is this financial advice?
No. CapitolTrades provides informational alerts about publicly disclosed congressional financial activity. We don't recommend trades. Always do your own research.
