WHAT TO LOOK FOR
What to look for in a congressional-trading tracker
Every tool in this space starts from the same public record: STOCK Act periodic transaction reports from the House Clerk and Senate. What separates them is what they do with those filings once ingested — whether you get a searchable feed, or a layer that tells you which trades in that feed are worth attention.
Signal Congress is built around four capabilities:
Conviction scoring
Every trade is scored against the member’s own 24-month baseline, committee access, disclosure speed, and corroboration from eight independent federal sources — so a routine managed-account trade and an anomalous one don’t read the same.
Bipartisan cluster detection
When members from both parties buy the same security inside a 30-day window, the cluster surfaces automatically. In our backtests, these cross-chamber bipartisan clusters are the firmest signal in the dataset.
Cross-branch convergence
Signal Congress also ingests executive-branch OGE 278-T disclosures, so it can show when a Cabinet official and a member of Congress trade the same ticker within a close window.
Citable provenance
Every figure links back to its source filing, and every page carries a sequence-not-accusation boundary: the platform surfaces patterns and evidence, not allegations.
Use the head-to-head pages above to see how Signal Congress compares to each tracker on these dimensions.
