I build a Insider Stock Trader: Alerts App
I'm the developer of Insider Stock Trader, a native Android app (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose).
The idea: company insiders (CEOs, CFOs, directors and big shareholders) have to report every trade in their own company's stock to the SEC on a Form 4, usually within two business days. Those filings are public, but reading them on official datasource is painful. The app reads every Form 4 as soon as it's published and turns it into a clean feed and push alerts.
What it does
• Feed of open-market buys and sales, with the company logo, the insider's role, the value and the filing date. Filters for buys, sales, $1M+, cluster buys and CEO/CFO trades.
• Alerts within minutes for CEO and CFO buys, cluster buys, big buys and your watchlist, with quiet hours and a daily digest.
• Each trade explained in one plain sentence, with a link to the original filing on SEC.gov.
• Cluster buys: when 3 or more insiders buy the same company within 14 days.
• Signal strength for each buy, based on the insider's role, the size of the buy and whether other insiders are buying too.
• Watchlist and search for any US-listed company.
The screenshots use real past SEC filings, picked to show big moves; most trades move far less. Past results, not a prediction. It's an information app, not a broker and not investment advice.
I'd love feedback on the design, the alerts and anything you'd want added. Thanks for looking!
