Track Congress Stock Trades, Insider Cluster Buys & 13F Whales

Insider cluster buying is when three or more executives or directors of the same company buy their own stock on the open market within a short window (WhaleTrack uses a rolling 7 days, from SEC Form 4 filings). A lone insider purchase can mean anything; a cluster means several people with the best information about the company independently decided the shares are cheap — historically one of the strongest bullish insider signals.

Yes. The STOCK Act of 2012 requires U.S. senators and representatives to publicly disclose securities transactions over $1,000 within 45 days, in dollar ranges rather than exact amounts. WhaleTrack organizes these periodic transaction reports into a single feed and leaderboard. Always verify details against the official disclosure portals, which remain the authoritative source.

Form 13F is a quarterly SEC filing in which institutional investment managers with over $100 million in U.S. equities must disclose their holdings. It is how the public learns what funds like Berkshire Hathaway actually own. WhaleTrack parses 13F-HR information tables directly from SEC EDGAR and aggregates a curated fund list into a weighted "Consensus Top 10" with quarter-over-quarter position changes.

From primary sources: SEC EDGAR for Form 4 insider trades, 13F-HR institutional holdings, 13D/13G ownership stakes, Form 144 planned sales and 8-K events; FINRA for consolidated equity short interest; STOCK Act periodic transaction reports for congressional trades; and daily market quotes for prices and technicals. Every dashboard section labels whether it is showing live regulatory data or sample data.

The Plankton tier is free forever and includes the 13F consensus portfolio, whale fund profiles, public stock and politician pages with trade-marked price charts, watchlists, the weekly digest email, the filings radar, the market-impact simulator, and insider and congressional feeds on a 48-hour delay. Marlin ($19/mo) unlocks the real-time tape, insider exit clusters, Form 144 early warnings, FINRA short interest with days-to-cover, and watchlist-targeted cluster-buy alerts to your inbox. Orca ($49/mo) adds the AI research assistant with 500 monthly credits, an MCP server for AI agents, CSV export, read-only developer API keys, and priority support.

Yes. Orca subscribers get an AI research assistant — available as a full dashboard tab and a floating chat on every page — that answers questions like "what is the smart money doing in NVDA?" or "what has Nancy Pelosi traded lately?". Every answer is grounded in WhaleTrack’s own filing data through the same tools the developer API exposes, so it cites real holdings and trades instead of inventing numbers. Orca includes 500 AI credits per month, and your conversation history is saved to your account.

Yes — every ticker has a public page at whaletrack.io/stock/TICKER (for example /stock/NVDA) showing its 13F consensus standing with top holders, insider cluster buys, recent congressional trades, and a 6-month price chart with each disclosed trade marked at its date. Funds have profile pages at /fund (with position history sparklines and consecutive-quarters-held streaks), and every member of Congress has a trading profile at /congress with win rate and estimated returns.

Yes. Star any ticker into your watchlist from the screener, a stock page, or the dashboard. Paid-tier cluster alerts then target your watchlist — you are only emailed about stocks you follow. Every account also gets a Monday digest email summarizing the week’s disclosed activity on your watchlist plus the biggest insider cluster buys and congressional trades market-wide (one-click unsubscribe).

Yes. Orca subscribers get an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at whaletrack.io/api/mcp — point any MCP-capable AI client at it with your developer API key and your AI assistant gains four WhaleTrack tools: per-ticker smart-money intel, the 13F consensus ranking, recent insider clusters, and congressional trades. There is also a plain REST API with the same data.

Yes — that is the point. Every insider trade, 13F holding, radar event and congressional disclosure links directly to the original document on SEC EDGAR or the House/Senate disclosure portals, so any number on the dashboard is one click from its primary source. Each row also shows its disclosure lag (how many days after the trade the public filing appeared), and filings that blew past their statutory deadline are flagged.

No. WhaleTrack is an educational data platform that organizes public regulatory filings. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and disclosure data can lag the trades it reports. Do your own research before acting on any signal.
