  Awesome concept but I feel like something is missing. How complete is the data?
  • tcarambat1010 7y ago
    The data comes directly from https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/home/ https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/home/, which is where the senators must file their trades. So it is as accurate as legally permissible. The tool only shows reports for the day, currently, there is no time-based analysis.

      Interesting, are you storing the entirety of the data locally? I kind of want to try to dissect and run some backtests to see if there is any merit or trend (outside of the obvious in hindsight covid selloff)

        I am, I keep a local copy because this is not an API service. So i have to collect the data and retain it. that being said I am developing some trending graphs to see trends on a time axis. I think some of that may be useful as you can correlate trades with news for that day.
