Insider buying monitor template.
Find high-signal open-market purchases from Form 4 filings, senior people putting money in, not option grants and 10b5-1 sales.
You fill in: Tickers, companies, or sector · Included with every paid plan
Why this template
What it is for.
Most “insider transaction” emails are noise: vesting, gifts, tax withholding, planned sales. The signal is an open-market buy above a size you care about.
Buys, not paperwork
Option exercises, grants, gifts, tax withholding, routine 10b5-1 sales, and no-new-info amendments are excluded.
Role filters
Senior executives and directors, CEO/CFO only, any reporting insider, or cluster buying.
A dollar floor
Set a minimum purchase value so a tiny buy does not page you.
Form 4 as evidence
The filing is the primary source: insider, role, date, shares, price, and aggregate value when available.
Use cases
Where people use it.
A concentrated book
Watch the names you hold for cluster buying or a CEO buy.
A sector screen
Name a sector and require a minimum value so you only see meaningful checks.
CEO/CFO only
Ignore director noise if you only want the top of the house.

- Open-market purchases are the point. Do not expect grant-season alerts.
- Cluster mode waits for two or more insiders buying in a meaningful group.
- This is a research alert. It is not a recommendation to copy the trade.
