How scoring works, what the data covers, pricing, and getting started — all in one place.
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.
Our model was trained on over 5 million insider transactions spanning 10+ years of market data. We backtested it rigorously. 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. We publish our methodology because we believe in transparency — not black boxes. Start your free trial and see the scores for yourself.
You can — but you would be sifting through thousands of filings 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 1% of filings that actually matter.
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.
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.
These are the four signal tiers. Elite signals are the top ~1% of insider trades by our scoring model — historically the strongest predictors. Strong, Positive, and Neutral represent decreasing levels of conviction. Every score is based on three factors: who bought (insider quality), when they bought (market context), and how they bought (transaction characteristics).
Our pipeline processes new SEC filings within minutes of publication on EDGAR. Pro subscribers get instant email alerts for high-conviction signals. Standard subscribers receive daily and weekly digests.
Over 10 years of SEC Form 4 filings — millions of insider transactions across multiple market cycles. This depth is what makes backtesting meaningful: the model has been validated through bull markets, corrections, and recoveries, not just a cherry-picked window.
No. Not every insider buy is worth following — most filings are routine option exercises, automatic plans, or small administrative transactions. InsiderSignals scores every trade to separate the meaningful conviction buys from the noise. Think of it as a research tool that highlights where to look, not a list of trades to copy.

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.
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.
Every signal starts with a public SEC Form 4 filing — the document US company executives must file within two business days of trading their own stock. We link to the original SEC source for every trade so you can verify it yourself.
Very much so. The data comes from US SEC filings, but the service works globally. If you invest in US stocks through brokers like DEGIRO, Trade Republic, Interactive Brokers, or Saxo, these signals are directly relevant to your portfolio. Most European investors have never encountered this dataset — in Europe, the equivalent data is scattered across 20+ national regulators and barely accessible to retail investors.
The model is backtested across 10+ years of historical data — not a handful of examples. We publish the methodology and results transparently, including sample sizes, time periods, and performance across different market conditions. Every individual score shows exactly which factors contributed, so you can evaluate the reasoning yourself.
