Read it carefullyLink to this section

  • Insider transaction codes tell routine from deliberate: P is an open-market purchase and S a sale; A (grant), M (option exercise), F (shares withheld for tax) and G (gift) are mostly mechanical. Rows without a code are holdings reports, not trades.
  • Congressional amounts are ranges as disclosed (for example $1,001 to $15,000), not exact values. owner says whose account it was: blank for the member, SP spouse, JT joint, DC dependent child.
  • Disclosure lags differ. Insiders file a Form 4 within two business days; members of Congress have up to 45 days to report a trade. Sort by the trade date, as above, not the filing date.
  • For short-selling interest in the same stock, add get_short_interest, and keep FINRA's attribution line with its figures.
