Know when
insiders buy.
When CEOs and CFOs trade, we're on it. We score every SEC filing against six backtested factors and alert you to high-conviction signals, complete with earnings timing, options context, and sector insights.

How it works
Four steps.
One edge.
Most insider tracking tools overwhelm you with thousands of filings that are mostly noise. InsiderIQ focuses only on the top 11.3% that historically prove significant.
SEC discloses
Every corporate insider must file a Form 4 within 48 hours of any stock purchase. We watch EDGAR continuously, 24/7.
We score it
Our algorithm scores every filing against a 5 filter criteria. Only the top 11.3% qualify and ever reach your inbox.
You get the alert
A clean email lands in your inbox with the ticker, insider, trade details, the qualifying factors (including listed-options activity when present), and the next earnings date as context. ~15 minutes after the filing goes live.
Track on the dashboard
Your dashboard adds 30/60/90-day alpha results, price sparklines, and a sector heat map for macro context.
The signal
Not all insider buys are equal.
Of 1,753 insider purchases in our dataset, only 198 passed every filter. That 11.3% averaged +14.2% returns at 90 days. The other 88.7%? Noise.
Your score is powered by the five filters below, the same rules used in our backtest. Additional data like earnings, options activity, and sector trends are provided as extra context to help you interpret the signal without affecting the core score.
- ✓C-suite only — CEO, CFO, COO, President. Not directors or low-level officers.
- ✓Open-market purchase — real money spent, not grants or option exercises.
- ✓No 10b5-1 plan — discretionary decision, not a pre-scheduled automatic buy.
- ✓$25K–$999K in size — filters token buys and headline megabuys that underperform.
- ✓Not near 52-week low — removes falling-knife situations that hurt 90-day returns.
