Congress Trades
Launching today
Members of Congress disclose their stock trades, but the data sits in PDFs, and meaningful analysis is often locked behind paywalls. Explore disclosures and rankings from the past year with a free Congress Trades account, and see who actually has alpha: how much each member made and what you’d have made copying them, both measured apples-to-apples against the S&P 500 over the same time period. Find out who files on time and who files late.

Hi Product Hunt! We built Congress Trades to answer two questions people naturally ask about Congress and the stock market:
1. How much did each member make?
2. What could you have made copying them?
Members of Congress have to disclose their stock trades, but the filings are scattered PDFs, and you’d still need to look up how each stock performed afterward to know whether the trades were any good. So we pull every House and Senate disclosure and answer both questions for individual members, measured apples-to-apples against the S&P 500 over the exact same days.
We noticed a couple of things we’d love you to check for yourselves: most of the heaviest traders seem to perform close to the index, while the members with the biggest numbers often made just a few large bets. In the past 90 days, Ro Khanna lost 0.5% on 817 trades, while Nancy Pelosi did +50% on just 7. (The S&P rose 2.4%.) Do you see the same thing? Tell us what you find!
Start on the leaderboard to compare members, then look at the latest filings and the most-traded stocks in the selected time period. Each member and stock also has its own page with trade history, how quickly they file, and whether Congress is overall buying or selling a stock.
Browse without an account; make one for free to see rankings over the past year and follow members or stocks. Get a paid subscription to unlock the full history and complete rankings, plus email alerts for new filings from all of Congress or just the members and stocks you follow.
Most of all, we want your feedback: what’s confusing, what’s missing, and what you’d want to see next. We'll read every comment here!
I'd keep the filing date very visible beside the trade date. That distinction matters when someone is looking back at what was actually public at the time.
@oleksii_sekundant Yes indeed, very important to be able to see that info! Can you let me know where you expected to see the disclosure date (and it was not there)? For example, the Filings tab of home page groups trades under their disclosure day rather than showing it on each row.
