How It Works

Members of Congress are required by the STOCK Act to disclose their stock trades within 45 days. We collect those filings, enrich them with market data, and make them searchable.

What Is the STOCK Act?

The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act was signed into law in 2012. It requires members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children to publicly disclose securities transactions over $1,000 within 45 days. Failure to file on time can result in a $200 late fee — though enforcement has historically been lax. Disclosed Capitol tracks compliance and flags late filers.

01

We Collect Official Filings

Our systems continuously monitor official government disclosure portals for new filings. These are the same STOCK Act filings that members of Congress are legally required to submit within 45 days of any trade.

02

We Parse & Enrich

Raw filings are often buried in PDFs with inconsistent formatting. We extract every trade, match securities to current market data, calculate gains and losses, and cross-reference with related government records.

03

We Analyze & Score

We compute performance metrics for every politician — including returns, risk-adjusted measures, and sector exposure. Our algorithms surface patterns that would take analysts hours to find manually.

04

You Stay Informed

Browse trades, compare politicians, explore committee portfolios, or let Chad AI answer your questions. Pro users get alerts, portfolio analytics, and full API access.

What Data We Track

Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs)

Individual stock trades disclosed under the STOCK Act. Includes ticker, trade type (buy/sell), date, and estimated value range.

Annual Financial Disclosures (AFDs)

Yearly reports listing all assets, liabilities, income sources, board positions, and net worth estimates for members of Congress.

Lobbying Disclosures

Quarterly filings showing which companies and organizations are lobbying Congress, how much they spend, and on which issues.

Campaign Finance (FEC)

Federal Election Commission records of campaign contributions, showing who funds congressional campaigns.

Government Contracts

Federal contract awards from USASpending.gov, cross-referenced with politician trading activity and committee assignments.

SEC Insider Filings

Form 4 insider trades by corporate executives, 13F hedge fund holdings, and 13D activist investor positions.

Legislation

Bills sponsored and cosponsored by each politician, enabling trade-legislation overlap analysis.

Continuous Data Updates

Our data pipelines run continuously to provide near real-time information. As new filings are published on government websites, our systems detect, parse, enrich, and deliver them to the platform. Market data, analytics, and portfolio metrics are refreshed on an ongoing basis throughout the day.

Important: The 45-Day Lag

Because the STOCK Act allows up to 45 days for disclosure, the trades you see on Disclosed Capitol are not real-time. By the time a trade appears, the market may have already moved. This data is best used for research, transparency, and pattern analysis — not for real-time copy-trading. See our Disclaimer for more.
