Congress filters
Every filter for congressional trade rules, with examples.
Congress rules send an alert when a member of Congress files a stock trading report. See Congressional trades for what the alert shows and what's covered.
| Filter | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Symbol filter | Only trades in these companies, or the companies in a watchlist. | NVDA |
| Member | Only these members. Type part of the name and press Enter. | Pelosi |
| Chamber | House, Senate or Any. | Senate |
| Transaction type | Buy, Sell (includes partial and full sales), Exchange or Any. | Buy |
| Owner | Whose account made the trade: Self, Spouse, Joint, Dependent or Any. | Spouse |
| Min amount ($) | Only trades whose reported range starts at or above this amount. | 50000 |
Good to know
- Member ignores upper and lower case and matches part of a name, so "pelosi" finds Nancy Pelosi. A short entry can match more than one member; use the full last name.
- Members report each trade as a range, such as $50,001 to $100,000. Min amount compares against the low end of the range. With 50000, a $50,001 to $100,000 trade matches; a $15,001 to $50,000 trade doesn't.
- One report often lists many trades. You get one alert per report, and it lists the trades in that report, not only the ones that matched your filters.
Example rules
- Everything one member trades: Member Pelosi.
- Senate buys over $100K: Chamber Senate, Transaction type Buy, Min amount 100001.
