Which Members of Congress Trade Stocks the Most?

Why a high trade count isn't a scandal

The members at the top of this list are not necessarily the ones worth watching. A large disclosed-transaction count most often reflects a professionally managed brokerage account— where an advisor trades on the member's behalf under a standing arrangement — rather than the member personally picking individual stocks. Volume alone says nothing about an information edge.

That is exactly why Signal Congress scores trades rather than just counting them: the signal is in the anomaloustrade — one that breaks from a member's own baseline, clusters bipartisanly, or corroborates across federal data sources — not in the raw number of filings.
