Insider Feed

Type INS in the command terminal to open the Insider Feed widget.

Overview

The Insider Feed is a live tape of open-market insider trades across the whole market. It is updated over a WebSocket connection to the SEC filings service as Form 4s are filed. Only transaction codes P (buy) and S (sell) appear, so grants, option exercises, tax withholding and gifts are left out.

For one company's full insider history, including those other transaction types, use the Ownership widget.

Opening the Insider Feed

Press the backtick key (`) to focus the command terminal, type INS and hit Enter. You can open more than one feed, for example one for the whole market and one limited to a watchlist.

Filters

The toolbar has three filters:

• Buys / Sells / Both: which side of the trade to show. The default is Buys
• Minimum value: Any, $100K, $1M or $10M. The default is $100K
• Scope: All, or Watchlist. Watchlist uses the symbols of every watchlist tab, up to the first 200

Filter settings persist with the widget.

Reading the Tape

Each row shows:

• Time: when the filing became public, shown in the dashboard's timezone with the date underneath
• Ticker
• Insider: name and role
• Buy or Sell
• Shares at price
• Value
• A link to the filing on sec.gov

New rows arrive at the top with a brief flash. The tape keeps the latest 300 rows. When it opens, it loads the matching trades from the last 30 days, so a quiet watchlist may show few rows until new filings arrive.

Linking

Clicking a row selects it and sends its ticker to the widget's link group, so a linked chart follows the selection. When the feed is not linked, pressing Enter on a selected row opens a chart for that ticker.

Where the Data Comes From

Rows come from the Ownership API of the SEC filings service, which is built from public SEC filings. The time on a row is when the public could first see the filing, which is the SEC acceptance time plus one minute.
