1. Nature of the Service
Capitol Trader aggregates and displays publicly available congressional stock trade disclosures filed under the STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012). All trade data is sourced from public government records and presented for informational and educational purposes.

2. No Investment Advice
Congressional trade disclosures are historical public records. The presence of a trade on this site does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Past congressional trading activity does not predict future performance.
You should conduct your own independent research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decision. Capitol Trader expressly disclaims any liability for investment decisions made based on information provided by this Service.
