Thank you very much Yahoo! and everyone at HackU! InsiderTrades empowers everyday investors by providing them with instantaneous alerts when their stocks are traded by insiders. This service is free and provides notification within two minutes of the SEC making the information available.

Step 1: Pick Your Stocks

Step 2: Email Address


  1. Type a ticker in above to start adding your alerts. At the moment, you can only select stocks that the system has previously seen SEC filings for.
  2. e.g: Watch MSFT for insider trades. [x]




What Is This?

This project is an entry for Yahoo's OpenHack in New York. Yahoo Finance (and every other finance service) provides insider trading data days after the information becomes public. InsiderTrades.org scans the SEC's filing system every thirty seconds and then alerts subscribers if their stock has been traded by an insider.

The only other source for this information (and not in real-time) is Edgar Online, a proprietary service that powers Google Finance and Yahoo Finance. InsiderTrades is completely free beer-wise and speech-wise.

Who Made This?

I'm a Canadian law student at Queen's University and an H.BSc. graduate from the University of Waterloo. I make websites such as last year's HackU Waterloo entry and do contract programming to pay for school. Thanks for checking out my entry for HackU.
