Where the data comes from
Every alert is based on an official public disclosure. Here are the sources.
Market Rodeo reads official public disclosures as soon as they're published and turns them into alerts. We don't use rumors, social media or paid data feeds.
| Alert type | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Insider | Trades by company officers, directors and 10% owners | SEC (EDGAR) |
| Stake | Investors owning more than 5% of a company | SEC (EDGAR) |
| 8-K | Major company events such as deals, bankruptcies and leadership changes | SEC (EDGAR) |
| IPO | Companies filing to go public and pricing their IPO | SEC (EDGAR) |
| Earnings | Quarterly results from company press releases | SEC (EDGAR) |
| Congress | Stock trades reported by members of Congress | House Clerk and Senate disclosure websites |
| Macro | Economic indicators such as CPI and unemployment | Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) |
Every alert links to the original filing or data page, so you can check the source yourself.
How quickly alerts arrive
| Alert type | Usually arrives |
|---|---|
| Insider, Stake, 8-K, IPO | Within minutes of the filing appearing on the SEC website |
| Earnings | Within several minutes. Reading a press release takes a little longer. |
| Congress | Up to about a day after the report is published. We check House reports twice a day and Senate reports once a day. |
| Macro | Up to about 6 hours after the data is released |
Alerts fire when a disclosure is published, not when the trade or event happened. See Disclosure lag.
Not investment advice
Market Rodeo reports what companies, investors and officials have disclosed. It is information only, not investment advice. Always check the original filing before you act.
