Follow the smart money — executives, directors & officers

Corporate insiders — CEOs, CFOs, directors, and major shareholders — are legally required to disclose their personal trades in company stock within two business days by filing a SEC Form 4. These filings are public record and are one of the most powerful signals available to retail investors.

Studies have consistently shown that insider purchases — especially clustered buying by multiple insiders — outperform the broader market. FearAlert monitors the SEC EDGAR system and alerts you after a qualifying insider transaction is processed during the hourly scheduled run.

📈
Open-Market Buys
When an executive purchases shares on the open market with their own cash — the strongest insider signal.
📉
Open-Market Sales
Know when insiders are selling — important context for position management and risk assessment.
🔁
Option Exercises
Track when executives exercise options and whether they immediately sell or hold the resulting shares.
👥
Clustered Buying
Multiple insiders buying at the same time is one of the rarest and most bullish signals in the market.
