It starts by separating signal from noise.
Insider trading isn't as simple as "sell means bearish, buy means bullish." Sales after option exercises, tax arrangements, and pre-set trading plans are often just noise. What's worth watching is who is buying, how much, whether several insiders are moving in the same direction — and how big the trade is relative to their existing stake.
Insider Trading turns raw filings into context an investor can actually read: is this a CEO putting real money on the line, or a director making a token purchase? A one-off trade, or several insiders stepping in within 30 days?
It weighs who is buying before what they bought.
The same $1 million purchase means different things coming from a CEO, a CFO, an independent director, or a mid-level executive. The closer the role sits to the company's actual operations and capital allocation, the more weight a voluntary purchase usually carries — while routine sales and small token trades get discounted.
- Identify the key playersPrioritize voluntary open-market trades by CEOs, CFOs, founders, directors, and major shareholders.
- Watch for cluster tradesMultiple insiders buying in the same direction within a short window usually says more than a single isolated trade.
- Filter out routine noiseSeparate 10b5-1 plans, option exercises, and tax-driven sales from trades that genuinely express a view.

When should you use it?
Whether you want to know if insiders keep buying a stock, whether management stepped in after a crash, whether board members are backing their confidence with real money, or whether a major shareholder is quietly trimming — it turns filing data into a readable judgment call.
It won't treat insider trades as a universal buy-or-sell signal. Its job is to help you decide whether a lead deserves a full research workup — or is just noise that looks busier than it really is.
