About CongressScan
A tracker for the stock trades members of Congress and executive-branch officials disclose, built by Signal8.
What it does
CongressScan lists every stock trade disclosed under the STOCK Act with the politician, the stock, whether it was a purchase or a sale and the date it was filed, keeps the history for every member and every stock, and counts the trades filed after the 45-day deadline.
What it does not do
It does not say why a trade was made, whether it was good or bad, or what anyone should do about it. A disclosure is a record of a trade, not evidence of a motive. CongressScan says what the reports say, and says so plainly when they say nothing.
Who makes it
CongressScan is a Signal8 product. It reads the same disclosure data that Signal8 does. The methodology explains the sources and the limits.
