Question 1

Do I need to be technical to use this?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Sign up, set your alert preferences, and we will email you when a strong signal appears. Each alert includes the company, insider name, transaction details, and our score. Click through to learn more. No spreadsheets or coding required.

Question 2

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. InsiderSignals is an informational tool, not a financial advisor. We surface data and score it; you make your own decisions. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor if needed. Our signals are a starting point, not a directive.

Question 3

How accurate is the scoring model?

Accepted Answer

Our model was trained on over 4 million insider transactions spanning over a decade of market data. We backtested it rigorously: a portfolio following only Elite and Strong signals returned over 7× the S&P 500. Our highest-ranked signals are 4 times more likely to hit +30% within 90 days than other insider buys, and on average, the upside outweighs the downside by 2–3 times. Hypothetical backtested results. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. We publish how it works because we believe in transparency, not black boxes.

Question 4

Can't I just check insider filings myself for free?

Accepted Answer

You can, but you would be sifting through thousands of insider trading filings (SEC Form 4) daily, most of which are routine transactions, options exercises, or sales. Our scoring model does the filtering for you, surfacing only the purchases that historically correlate with outperformance. We save you hours of work and highlight the small fraction of filings that actually matter.

Question 5

How is this different from free tools like Finviz or OpenInsider?

Accepted Answer

Those tools show you raw filings (thousands of them daily) without scoring or filtering. You still have to do the analysis yourself. InsiderSignals does the heavy lifting: we score every transaction with a statistically validated model trained on 10+ years of data, filter out the noise, and alert you only when something significant happens. It is the difference between a firehose and a curated feed.

Question 6

Why not just follow insider-buying accounts on Twitter/X?

Accepted Answer

Social accounts are delayed, selective, and often come with bias or paid promotions. We pull directly from SEC EDGAR, score objectively with our scoring model, and alert you instantly when high-signal filings are processed. No middleman, no cherry-picking, no agenda: just the data, scored and delivered fast.

Question 7

Who's behind InsiderSignals?

Accepted Answer

InsiderSignals is built by a solo founder who got tired of sifting through thousands of SEC filings to find the few that actually matter. No VC pressure, no paid promotions, and no ad-driven agenda: just a focused product built to make insider-buying data actionable for self-directed investors.
