Unusual Whales built its brand on options flow data and dark pool tracking. The congressional tab is a feature — not a focus. Signal Congress is built from the ground up for one thing: congressional conviction signals.
We tested 9 strategies against 5,304 priced congressional purchases. Only one categorically beats the market.
Unusual Whales tracks the data. Signal Congress tells you which signals actually matter.
Signal Congress is the purpose-built alternative for investors who want congressional trade intelligence as a primary signal. Unlike Unusual Whales, which built its reputation on options flow and dark pool data with congressional trades added as a secondary tab, Signal Congress is designed exclusively for congressional conviction scoring, bipartisan cluster detection, and trade thesis generation.
No — Signal Congress does not track options flow or dark pool data. Those are Unusual Whales' core products and they do them well. Signal Congress focuses on a narrower question: which congressional trades carry the most conviction, and why.
If congressional trades are your primary signal source rather than one context layer among many, Signal Congress is built for that workflow. You get a 0–100 conviction score, bipartisan cluster alerts, committee relevance overlay, and an AI-generated trade thesis for every signal — none of which Unusual Whales provides.
Signal Congress PRO is $49/month, with a free tier available for basic access. We don't track Unusual Whales' current pricing — check their site for up-to-date plans.
Signal Congress uses a 0–100 conviction score built from five dimensions: bipartisan cluster overlap, committee relevance, disclosure lag, member historical win rate, and trade size. Each filing is scored automatically at submission time. Trades scoring 65+ have historically outperformed the S&P 500 by +12.63% at 180 days.
Built from the ground up for one purpose — with the scoring infrastructure to back it up.
