SEC Insider Trading Monitor

Real-time SEC Form 4 tracking with instant alerts when corporate insiders make significant purchases.

Single workflow, dual deduplication, SEC-compliant request headers

The Problem

The client tracked insider trading activity manually through the SEC's EDGAR database, a slow and tedious process of checking filings, downloading documents, parsing transaction data, and filtering for meaningful buys. By the time they spotted a large insider purchase, the information was hours old.

The Solution

A system that watches the SEC filings database every 60 seconds and sends an alert the moment a corporate insider makes a large stock purchase.

When a new Form 4 filing appears, the system reads the document, pulls out who bought what, how many shares, at what price, and the total value. It knows the difference between routine transactions and significant moves.

Only purchases over $50,000 trigger an alert. Duplicate filings are caught automatically so nobody gets the same alert twice. When a qualifying trade hits, an email goes out instantly with every detail and a direct link to the filing.

Key Results

Filing detection within 60 seconds of SEC publication

Automatic parsing of both derivative and non-derivative transactions

$50,000+ purchase threshold eliminates noise from small transactions

Zero manual monitoring required
