Congress stock tracker: follow STOCK Act trades and get alerts

A Congress stock tracker collects the trades that members of the House and Senate must disclose under the STOCK Act and shows them by member or by ticker. If you want to know when a new trade lands rather than browse a table, AyeWatch watches the filings, tracker pages and news you choose and sends a short summary with the source when a matching trade appears.

Where Congress trades come from

Every tracker starts from the same public filings. The STOCK Act of 2012 requires members of Congress to file a periodic transaction report (PTR) within 30 days of learning about a covered trade, and never later than 45 days after the trade itself. The House Ethics Committee's guide says a PTR covers purchases, sales and exchanges of stocks, bonds and other securities over $1,000, including those held by a spouse or dependent child.

House members file with the Clerk, whose financial disclosure database can be searched by name, year, state and district. Senators' reports are published through the Senate's eFD search at efdsearch.senate.gov. Each report gives the amount as a range, such as $15,001 to $50,000, not an exact dollar figure.

Two limits follow from this, and no tool gets around them:

• Trades arrive late. A tracker can only show a trade after the member files, which can be weeks after the trade.
• Amounts are ranges. Any profit or portfolio figure you see is an estimate built on those ranges.

Ways to track Congress stock trades

As of November 2026:

The official sites are the record, and the dataset tools are good for history and research. AyeWatch is the pick when the job is to hear about a specific kind of trade without opening a dashboard every morning.

How to set up Congress trade alerts with AyeWatch

1. Describe what you follow. Start a topic monitor in plain English, for example: "Tell me when a new STOCK Act disclosure or news report shows a member of Congress buying or selling NVDA. Skip opinion pieces." AyeWatch reads for meaning, so you do not need to list every spelling of a name or ticker.
2. Add the pages you already check. If you refresh a public tracker page for one member or one stock, paste that URL as a webpage monitor. AyeWatch tells you when a meaningful detail on it changes.
3. Add public social accounts. Some accounts on X and some subreddits post new filings quickly. A social monitor on those, with a filter such as only posts about trades by senators, keeps the rest of their feed out of your alerts.
4. Pick where alerts go. Push and the in-app feed come with every plan. Email, Slack, Discord and webhooks are on paid plans.

Each alert links to its sources, so you can open the filing itself before you act on anything.

What AyeWatch does not do

AyeWatch does not keep its own database of Congress trades, and it has no screeners, return charts or backtests. It watches the public sources and news you point it at. If you want years of trade history per member, estimated returns or a backtest of a copy-Congress strategy, Quiver Quantitative is the better tool, and AyeWatch does not replace it. Many people use both: a dataset for research, and AyeWatch for the moment a new trade shows up.

Nothing here is investment advice. A disclosed trade tells you what a member did weeks ago, not what the stock will do next.

Start with one ticker

Pick the stock or the member you care about most, write one rule, and see what the alerts look like for a week. AyeWatch has a free preview, and paid plans start at $9 a month. For a wider look at the tools in this space, read AyeWatch's roundup of Quiver Quantitative alternatives.
