Research workflow hub
An insider trading research workflow built around alerts, watchlists, and context
Good insider research is not about chasing every filing. It is about building a repeatable workflow: define the stocks you care about, receive relevant alerts, screen the activity, and use database history before treating anything as meaningful.

Why it matters
Separate monitoring from analysis
Alerts help you notice filings. Research happens after you decide a filing deserves attention.
Use watchlists to control scope
A focused watchlist beats a broad feed when your goal is consistent research rather than filing trivia.
Screen for patterns
The useful question is often whether a transaction fits or breaks a pattern for that company or insider.
Keep interpretation careful
Insider activity can be useful context, but it is not a standalone buy or sell recommendation.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is an insider trading research workflow?
It is a repeatable process for monitoring, filtering, and reviewing insider filing activity instead of reading isolated filings randomly.
Why start with a watchlist?
Because relevance is the hardest part of insider monitoring. A watchlist keeps the workflow tied to companies you already care about.
Is insider activity enough to make an investment decision?
No. Insider activity is research context, not a standalone recommendation.
What should I review after an alert?
Transaction type, reporting role, share count, price, timing, company context, and recent insider history all matter.
