Congress Trade Disclosures Are Public but Scattered Across Filings
WealthNX lists congress stock trades from STOCK Act disclosures in one place. Each entry shows the member, chamber, ticker, purchase or sale, amount range, trade date and filing date, with a link to the official filing. Search, filters and sorting narrow the list, and each trade opens that stock's screen.
What Congress Trades Shows
The disclosure, in one line
Member, chamber and state, ticker, purchase or sale, and the reported amount range.
Two dates on each trade
The date traded and the date filed, so the gap between them is easy to see.
The official filing, one tap away
Each disclosure links to the filing it comes from.
Search and filters
Search by ticker, member or company. Filter by Senate, House or both, and by purchases or sales.
Most disclosed tickers
The tickers that appear in the most filings, next to a summary of purchases and sales.
Transparency, not a signal
Under the STOCK Act, covered transactions generally must be disclosed within 30 days of notification and no later than 45 days after the transaction. Some filings may be late.

Where do the congress stock trades come from?
From STOCK Act disclosures, public disclosures of reportable securities transactions involving members of Congress and, where applicable, their spouses or dependent children. WealthNX shows them through FMP, with a link to each official filing.
Why do disclosures appear weeks after a trade?
The STOCK Act allows up to 45 days to report a trade. Each entry shows the trade date and the filing date. A late filing alone doesn't show why it was late.
Why are amounts shown as ranges?
STOCK Act disclosures report amounts in ranges, such as $1,001 to $15,000, not exact figures. WealthNX shows the range as filed.
Can I see senator stock trades separately from the House?
Yes. The chamber filter shows Senate and House together, the Senate only or the House only. Purchases and sales can also be viewed separately.
Should I buy a stock because a member of Congress did?
WealthNX doesn't make buy or sell recommendations. Disclosures are shown for transparency. Because they arrive late and list ranges, they are not a signal to buy or sell.
