Insider trading screener
An insider trading screener with free alerts and weekly insider updates
A screener should help you narrow the filing history to the companies, insiders, and transaction types you actually want to review. It should also work naturally with free alerts and weekly insider updates, not just give you a wall of rows.
Filter by company and insider
Transaction-type screening
Built around official filing data
For informational and research purposes only. InsiderAlerts does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.
Screener workflow
Why it matters
Filter the filing history more intelligently
A screener becomes useful when it helps reduce the filing universe into something reviewable.
Screen by transaction type
Separate purchases, sales, awards, and other activity instead of reading everything as one undifferentiated stream.
Use it for company or insider review
A good screener supports both stock-level and person-level research.
Start with free alerts, then screen deeper
The best screening workflow often starts after a free alert or weekly update tells you something is worth a deeper look.
Process
What an insider trading screener should do well
A screener should narrow the data, reduce noise, and make the filing history more reviewable. It should not simply dump more rows in front of you.
How it unfolds
Set the filters you actually need
Start from company, insider, date range, or transaction type.
2
Reduce the filing set to something useful
Use the filters to get closer to the real question you are trying to answer.
3
Use the result as research context
Treat the screener output as a way to focus review, not as the whole conclusion.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is an insider trading screener?
An insider trading screener is a filtering workflow that helps you narrow insider filing activity by company, insider, transaction type, and other useful dimensions.
How is a screener different from a database?
A database stores and exposes the filing history. A screener is the workflow you use to narrow and filter that history for review.
Why filter by transaction type?
Because purchases, sales, awards, and other filing events often deserve different interpretation.
Can a screener work alongside alerts?
Yes. A strong workflow often begins with an alert and then moves into screening and deeper database review.
