Insiders file with the SEC
By law, corporate insiders must submit a Form 4 to the SEC within two business days of any qualifying transaction. Every filing is a matter of public record.
Every trading day, the SEC publishes a public record of what company executives bought with their own money. Most retail investors never see it.
When a CEO Buys Their Own Stock, the SEC Requires a Public Filing Within 2 Business Days.
InsideTraderAlerts monitors every Form 4 filing, filters for the buys worth knowing about, and delivers a plain-English summary to your inbox before the market opens each trading day.

You're Reading the Same Information as Everyone Else — and There Is No Edge in That
Most retail investors are not behind because they are not paying attention. They are behind because they are watching the same sources as everyone else — after the important activity has already happened.
- By the time a stock shows up in your news feed, the move that started it is already weeks old.
- Financial news is written for mass audiences. Anything that makes a headline has already been priced in by the people who were watching before the headline existed.
- The SEC's EDGAR system is public, but reading through hundreds of filings manually each morning is not realistic when you have a job, a portfolio, and a real life.
- You may have bought into a compelling story before, only to find out later that the people running the company had been quietly selling their own shares at the same time.
- Corporate insiders — the people who know the business better than any analyst — are required by law to disclose when they buy their own stock. That filing tells you exactly what they bought, how much they paid, and when. It is sitting in a public federal database right now.
That disclosure data has been in the public record the entire time. We built the daily process to surface it.
Form 4 Is a Public SEC Filing. We Track Every One.
A Form 4 is the document a corporate insider — CEO, CFO, board member, or major shareholder — must file with the SEC to report their own company stock transactions. Open-market purchases are the signal worth watching: an executive spending personal money to buy shares at current market prices.
CEOs do not buy their own stock when they think it is going down. When they put personal capital into open-market shares, they are making a financial bet on the company they run. Academic research has consistently found that stocks with significant insider buying outperform the broader market over time.
InsideTraderAlerts monitors these filings every trading day, filters out low-conviction activity, and writes plain-English context so you can quickly identify what deserves a closer look — without spending an hour inside a government database.
We filter for the signals that stand out
We scan every filing daily and flag what matters: large-dollar open-market buys, cluster buying across multiple insiders at the same company, and first-time purchases from senior executives.
A clear brief in your inbox at 7:30 AM ET
Each email summarizes who bought, what they paid, how much they spent, and why that specific filing is worth your attention — before the market opens.
What Subscribers Say
Representative subscriber experiences, included for illustration. Not guarantees of future outcomes.
★★★★★
I used to open five different tabs every morning trying to piece together what was worth watching. Now I spend five minutes on this brief and know exactly where to focus my research for the day.
★★★★★
I was already tracking a few healthcare names. The cluster buying section showed two separate insiders at the same company stepping in within the same week. That gave me a concrete reason to go deeper — not just a gut feeling.
★★★★★
I was skeptical of anything finance-related showing up in my inbox. What I got was a clean data summary with direct SEC links and no pressure to buy anything. I have kept it for over eight months.
★★★★★
I am not a day trader. I check this once a day before the market opens and it helps me make more deliberate decisions about positions I was already thinking about. The consistency is the real value.

Everything Included in Every Alert
Near Real-Time Alerts
What that means for you: Premium subscribers receive alerts as frequently as every minute during market hours. Standard subscribers receive alerts on a 60-minute schedule. Both tiers deliver on your cadence — from a single daily digest to intraday monitoring throughout the session.
Insider Buy Alerts (Form 4 Filings)
What that means for you: You see which CEOs, CFOs, and directors bought their own company's stock — exact dollar amount, transaction date, and the insider's role — without ever opening the SEC's EDGAR system yourself.
Cluster Buying Signals
What that means for you: When two or more insiders at the same company buy shares in a close window, that pattern is flagged. A single insider buy is notable. Multiple insiders buying around the same time is a signal worth investigating.
Pre-Market Brief Delivery
What that means for you: The brief arrives at 7:30 AM ET before the opening bell — so you have time to read, think, and decide before trading begins, not after the morning session has already moved.
Plain-English Explanations
What that means for you: We do not hand you a raw data dump. For each notable filing, we explain what made it stand out — the insider's role, the size of the buy, the timing — in language that does not require a finance background to understand.
Five-Minute Format
What that means for you: The full brief is designed to be read before your coffee gets cold. If something catches your attention, you follow the source link and go deeper. If nothing does, you have still reviewed the day's most significant insider activity in under five minutes.
