With Barchart’s Insider Trading tools, you can decode insider activity in minutes — filtering by trade size, type, or even tracking what politicians are buying or dumping. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to use these tools to find your next trade idea. What Is Insider Trading (And Why You Should Care)First, let's be clear: We’re talking about legal insider trading — the kind that is reported to the SEC and publicly disclosed. These filings are often overlooked by retail traders, but can be powerful indicators of what's coming. For example: If the CEO of a biotech company buys $1.2M in shares, that could mean upcoming positive trial results are expected. If a member of Congress sells $250K in defense stocks, is new legislation coming? These insider signals are real, trackable, and actionable. How to Use Barchart’s Insider Trading ToolsStart by heading to Barchart’s Insider Trading Activity page. You’ll first see a chart of recent insider transactions – buys and sells over the past 60 days. From there, use the dropdown filters to: Focus on buys or sells Set a minimum transaction size Hover over volume spikes to drill down into the most active dates www.barchart.comInsider Trade ListThen, keep scrolling to see the detailed table of trades: Ticker symbol Insider name + position Date of transaction Value and transaction type www.barchart.comClick into any ticker to analyze that stock further. Each symbol has its own Insider Trading page, where you can sort by name to see more trades organized by which insider made the transaction. Pro Tip: Look for large cluster buys (multiple insiders buying at once). It’s one of the strongest bullish signals. What Are Politicians Buying and Selling?Under the “Investing” tab, go to Politician Insider Trading. You’ll see: A chart of recent congressional trades Filters by chamber (House/Senate), transaction type, and value Lists of top traders, largest trades, and search by politician www.barchart.comWant to see what Michael McCaul or Nancy Pelosi is buying? Type in the last name and scan the trades. Bonus Strategy: Use Large Sells as Early WarningsOne underrated tactic? Look for large insider sells — especially from execs at companies near 52-week highs. Sort the list by “Transaction Value,” then scan the charts. If you see a cluster of big insider sells ahead of negative price action, it might be a warning. You can combine: Insider selling activity; Bearish chart setups; and Negative technical signals …to stay ahead of market shakeups.
