Question 1

How do I track Congress stock trades?

Accepted Answer

This page tracks every stock trade that members of Congress disclose under the STOCK Act, and it updates as new filings come in. Each row shows the member, the company and ticker, the trade and filing dates, the disclosed dollar range, and how the price has moved since. Search or filter to follow a specific member, company, sector, or party.

Question 2

What is congressional stock trading?

Accepted Answer

Congressional stock trading is members of the U.S. Congress, along with their spouses and dependent children, buying and selling stocks and other securities. Under the 2012 STOCK Act, every covered transaction has to be disclosed publicly in a periodic transaction report within 45 days. Quantellect pulls those filings together into the searchable feed on this page.

Question 3

Can members of Congress trade stocks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Members of Congress, along with their spouses and dependent children, are legally allowed to buy and sell individual stocks. The 2012 STOCK Act does not ban trading; it just requires that each transaction be disclosed within 45 days, and it bars trading on material non-public information they gain through their office. This page tracks the disclosures that result.

Question 4

Did Congress ban stock trading?

Accepted Answer

No. As of 2026, members of Congress can still trade individual stocks, and the 2012 STOCK Act calls for disclosure rather than an outright ban. Several bills to restrict or prohibit the practice, such as the TRUST in Congress Act, have been introduced in recent sessions, but none has become law yet. Until that changes, congressional trades stay legal and publicly disclosed, which is exactly what this page tracks.

Question 5

Are Congress stock trades public?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 2012 STOCK Act requires every member of Congress, plus their spouse and dependent children, to publicly file each covered transaction in a periodic transaction report. Quantellect gathers those filings into this one searchable feed.

Question 6

How quickly must a member of Congress disclose a stock trade?

Accepted Answer

Within 45 days of the transaction. The reporting delay shown on each row is the gap between the trade date and the disclosure date, so you can see how long a trade stayed private before it became public.

Question 7

What do the trade size ranges mean?

Accepted Answer

Members do not report an exact amount. The STOCK Act lets them disclose each trade as a dollar range instead, for example $1,001 to $15,000, and the size column shows that range. Any total volume figure uses the midpoint of each range as an estimate.

Question 8

How can I follow or copy a politician's trades?

Accepted Answer

Search or filter the feed by a member's name to see only their disclosed trades, then open their profile for their full history and Q Score. Keep in mind this is historical disclosure data that arrives on a delay, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade.

Question 9

Which members of Congress are the best stock traders?

Accepted Answer

Quantellect ranks members by their Q Score on the politicians leaderboard, a 0 to 100 measure of how well their disclosed stock purchases have actually performed. Nancy Pelosi currently holds the #1 Q Score.
