Every trade they were required to disclose.
Corporate insiders, members of Congress and federal judges have to report what they trade. We read the filings and date every trade twice — when it was executed, and when you could first have known. Anything unsourced reads N/A.
The CleanList opens with the first filer whose disclosures parse end to end and carry both dates. Nothing is listed before that.

The problem
The record is public. It is not legible.
The date in the headline is the wrong date
A congressional trade can be reported up to 45 days after it happens. Coverage carries the filing date, so a trade from six weeks ago reads as news from this morning.
A band is not an amount
Congress and the judiciary disclose in ranges — $1,001 to $15,000, and up. Any exact dollar figure quoted from one of those is somebody’s midpoint, presented as a fact.
Not every sale is a decision
Option exercises, tax withholding, gifts and sales pre-scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan all arrive as transactions. Counting them as conviction is the most common way this data is misread.
Our solution
What we are building the CleanList around.
These are the rules we intend to hold the record to. They are not final and are not applied yet — we would rather say that than imply a standard we have not finished.
- Every trade links to the filing that reports it, and the link goes to the primary source.
- Every trade carries two dates: when it was executed, and when the filing became public.
- Amounts are exact where the form states them exactly, and the filed band where it does not. No midpoints.
- Transaction codes and plan flags are kept, so a pre-scheduled sale is never shown as a discretionary one.
- A filing we could not parse is marked unparsed rather than partially reported.

Features
Built on what was filed, not on an assumption.
Two dates on every trade
Executed on, and disclosed on — plus the gap in days. The gap is the part the coverage drops, and on some forms it is six weeks wide.
Exact where filed exact, band where banded
Form 4 states share counts and prices; congressional and judicial forms state ranges. Each is shown in the form it was filed in, never converted into the other.
Transaction codes kept
Purchase, sale, grant, option exercise, tax withholding and gift stay distinct, and a sale made under a pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plan is labelled as one.
Four sets of filers, one record
Corporate insiders, members of Congress, federal judges and senior executive branch officials — different forms and deadlines, the same table.
Late filings shown as late
Each form has a statutory deadline. Where a filing missed it, the page says so and by how long, rather than quietly presenting it as timely.
Sourced, or N/A
Every row links to the filing it was read from. Nothing is estimated, interpolated, or filled in with a number that looks right.
How it works
Four steps, no black box.
- Step 1
Pull the filings
Form 4s from EDGAR, periodic transaction reports from the House Clerk and the Senate, judicial reports from the Administrative Office, executive branch reports from OGE.
- Step 2
Parse to transactions
Each document becomes rows: who, what, which way, how much, on what date. Filings that arrive as scans are marked unparsed rather than guessed at.
- Step 3
Date twice, classify once
Execution date from the form, publication date from the filing itself, and the transaction code kept as filed. The gap between the two dates is computed, never typed.
- Step 4
Screen and follow
Filter by filer, branch, issuer or reporting lag, and follow the people whose trades are a matter of public record.

FAQ
Questions worth asking first.
Is this insider trading?
No — it is the opposite of it. Illegal insider trading means dealing on material information the public does not have. Everything here is the public record that the law requires these people to file precisely so that you can see it: Form 4s from corporate insiders, periodic transaction reports from members of Congress and federal judges, disclosure reports from senior executive branch officials. We publish documents that are already public, and we link to every one of them.
Why is the trade date different from the date it appeared?
Because the deadlines differ by form, and some are long. A corporate insider has until the end of the second business day after the transaction. A member of Congress has 30 days from being notified and no more than 45 days from the trade. Federal judges work to a comparable 45-day window. We show both dates and the gap between them, because a trade reported six weeks late is not news from today.
Why are some amounts ranges instead of figures?
Because that is how they were filed. Congressional and judicial disclosures report value in bands — $1,001 to $15,000, $15,001 to $50,000, and up — while Form 4 states exact share counts and prices. We show each in the form it was filed in. Converting a band to its midpoint produces a number nobody disclosed, and it is not one we will print.
Does following these trades make money?
We make no such claim, and you should be careful with anyone who does. This is a record of what was disclosed, not a strategy and not a signal. Much of what appears is scheduled, automatic or tax-driven, the reporting lag is real, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.
Which filers are covered?
Coverage is deliberately narrow and grows one filer at a time. A filer is listed only once their disclosures parse end to end and both dates are known for every trade. A person you expected to find is usually waiting on that, not excluded — and the red list, when it lands, writes out the reason for anyone who is.
Where does the data come from?
The primary sources only: SEC EDGAR for Forms 3, 4 and 5; the Clerk of the House and the Senate Office of Public Records for congressional reports; the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for judicial reports; the Office of Government Ethics for executive branch reports. Every figure is attributed to the filing that states it, and anything unsourced reads N/A rather than being filled in with a guess.
Read the record, not the retelling.
Every disclosed trade, linked to the filing it came from, dated when it happened and dated again when you could have known.
