How it works
Every insider source, in one place.
Corporate insiders, Congress, and funds disclose their trades every day — scattered across filings no one has time to read. InsiderIntent gathers every source into one place, judges each move, and makes it easy to see. Here's how — and how it stacks up against the alternatives.
Capture every informed actor
Corporate insiders (SEC Form 4), Congress, hedge-fund 13F filings, and company buybacks — pulled straight from the primary sources, cleaned, and tied to one canonical company identity.
Score whether it matters
Each move is measured against a library of signal patterns — a first-ever buy, an out-of-character size, a trade sitting next to a catalyst, several informed actors converging on one name — and given a clear read on two separate axes: how notable it is, and whether that pattern has statistically proven out.
Show the receipts
Every figure links to the filing it came from. Every read is dated to what was knowable at the time — no hindsight. And no signal carries a performance claim until it clears a real statistical bar. You can always reach the evidence.
What you'd otherwise reach for
Three things solve part of this problem. Here's the part they leave you holding.
Your brokerage app
Webull · Robinhood · most trading apps
Their pitch
"Trade stocks commission-free, right from your phone."
What it leaves you holding
It's built to execute your trades, not to show you what insiders are doing. A basic 'insider transactions' tab at most — no Congress, no funds, nothing merged, and no read on whether any of it matters.
Your broker is where you act. We're where you see — every insider source in one place, judged and made clear, so you know what you're acting on.
Data feeds & APIs
Quiver Quantitative · Unusual Whales · raw Form-4/Congress exports
Their pitch
"Every insider trade, every Congressional filing, 30+ datasets — delivered to your dashboard or API."
What it leaves you holding
They hand you the rows. Whether any given trade matters — a first-ever purchase by a proven actor, or routine noise — is left entirely to you. Their own backtests often leak the disclosure lag, so the headline returns aren't what you'd have actually seen in time.
They show you the trade. We tell you if it's a signal — scored, with the evidence, and dated to what was knowable then.
Copy-trading apps
Autopilot · Dub · "trade like Pelosi"
Their pitch
"Mirror a politician's or fund's trades automatically. Set it and forget it."
What it leaves you holding
You copy the move without ever knowing why, how unusual it is, or whether that actor's trades have historically meant anything. It's blind execution dressed as insight — and you inherit the risk with none of the read.
Understand before you follow. We're read-only and descriptive by design — we score the trade and show our work; we never place it for you.
Just asking ChatGPT
ChatGPT · Perplexity · a general AI assistant
Their pitch
"Ask the AI what insiders are buying and it'll summarize it for you."
What it leaves you holding
A general LLM will confidently invent the exact figure you're about to bet on — the share count, the dollar value, the date. It has no point-in-time discipline, can't see every filing at once, and can't score a convergence read. The one number that matters is the one it's most likely to hallucinate.
It fabricates the number you're betting on. Every figure we show is computed from the filing and linked back to it — the AI writes the words around the numbers, never the numbers themselves.
Side by side
Brokerages show you almost nothing. Data feeds hand you scattered rows. Copy apps trade for you, blind. Only one place gathers every source, judges it, and makes it easy to read.

Why the lead compounds
Every day we run, we record what was knowable on that day — before the move, not after. That builds an honest, time-stamped track record of calls-and-outcomes that a competitor starting today simply cannot reconstruct: they'd have to start capturing now and wait years, and still couldn't recreate our past. It's the one trust asset that can't be bought, faked, or backfilled — and it widens every single day.
What we refuse to do
- No forecasts or price targets — we tell you what happened and how unusual it is, not where a stock is going.
- No AI-generated numbers — every figure is computed from a filing and linked to it.
- No copy-trading or position sizing — we're an information tool, read-only by design.
- No cherry-picked win rates — a track record that only shows winners is marketing, not evidence.
