FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal for members of Congress to trade stocks?

Yes. The STOCK Act (2012) made insider trading illegal for Congress but does not ban stock trading itself. Members can buy and sell individual stocks freely — they are only required to disclose trades within 45 days. Several reform bills have been proposed to ban the practice entirely, but none have passed as of 2026.

How long do members of Congress have to report stock trades?

Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report (PTR) within 45 days of a trade. The fine for late filing is just $200, which critics argue is too low to deter non-compliance.

What is the STOCK Act?

The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act was signed into law in April 2012. It explicitly prohibits members of Congress from trading on material non-public information obtained through their official duties, and requires public disclosure of personal securities transactions within 45 days.

Can I track congressional stock trades in real time?

Not quite in real time — the STOCK Act allows up to 45 days before disclosure. Capitol Trader updates daily with the latest filings from the House and Senate, so you see new disclosures as soon as they are made public.

Do members of Congress beat the stock market?

Academic research is mixed. A 2004 study (Ziobrowski et al.) found senators outperformed the market by ~12% annually in the 1990s. Post-STOCK Act studies show much smaller or no persistent outperformance, possibly because public disclosure changed behavior.

How do I get alerts when Congress members buy or sell stocks?

Capitol Trader sends a free daily email digest whenever new STOCK Act disclosures are filed. You can subscribe at capitoltrader.com/newsletter. No spam — only sent on days with new disclosures.

Is there a free tracker for politician and senator stock trades?

Yes. Capitol Trader is a free politician and senator stock tracker — no paywall, no subscription. Search any senator or representative by name, browse by ticker, or filter the live feed by party and chamber to see what elected officials are trading.
