Introducing Congressional Activity Tracking – Now Live on All EverHint Strategies

Hey everyone,

We have some updates. Starting Tuesday, January 20, 2026, every EverHint strategy report will include a new section: Congressional Activity.

You asked for it, we built it. Here's what you need to know.

What Is Congressional Activity Tracking?

Members of Congress are required to disclose their stock trades publicly (thanks to the STOCK Act of 2012). We're now pulling this data directly into our daily strategy reports so you can see which stocks on your watchlist have recent congressional trading activity.

No more digging through disclosure forms. No more guessing. If a senator just sold 10,000 shares or a representative bought into a position, you'll see it right in the report.

How We Calculate Congressional Sentiment

Our system analyzes congressional trades across multiple timeframes and assigns a signal for each stock:

🟢 Bullish Signal

• More purchases than sales in the most recent activity window
• Indicates lawmakers are accumulating positions

🔴 Bearish Signal

• More sales than purchases in the most recent activity window
• Includes full liquidations (when a member completely exits a position)

⚪ Neutral Signal

• Balanced buying and selling activity
• Or mixed signals from different members

Timeframe Cascade: We Show You the Most Recent Activity

Here's where it gets smart. We don't just throw all the data at you. We prioritize recency:

1. 30-day window → If there's activity in the past 30 days, we show that first
2. 90-day window → If nothing in 30 days, we check the past 90 days
3. 1-year window → If nothing in 90 days, we expand to 1 year

This way, you always see the most timely congressional activity. A trade from 3 weeks ago is far more relevant than one from 11 months ago.

Example:

• 🔴 Bearish (30d) = Recent selling pressure (past 30 days)
• 🟢 Bullish (90d) = Buying activity in the past quarter
• 🔴 Bearish (1y) = Older selling activity (past year, but nothing recent)

Pattern Detection: Red Flags and Green Lights

We go beyond basic buy/sell counts. Our system detects patterns that matter:

🚨 Cluster Selling

When 3+ members sell the same stock within 7 days. This is rare and worth noting.

⭐ Cluster Buying

When 3+ members buy the same stock within 7 days. Strong coordinated confidence.

🚩 Full Liquidations

When a lawmaker completely exits a position (sells 100%). Often signals strong conviction about future risk.

🤝 Bipartisan Agreement

When members from both chambers (House and Senate) or both parties trade in the same direction. Increases signal strength.

What You'll See in the Reports

Starting Tuesday, every strategy report will have a Congressional Activity section (if there's relevant data for the stocks in that strategy).

Here's an example:

## Congressional Activity

**AAPL (Apple Inc.)** 🟢 Bullish (30d)
- 8 purchases by 7 unique members
- **Pattern:** Cluster buying detected, Bipartisan agreement
- **Top buyer:** Sen. Jane Doe (CA) - 3 transactions ($50,001 - $100,000)

**TSLA (Tesla, Inc.)** 🔴 Bearish (90d)
- 5 sales by 4 unique members
- **Pattern:** 2 full liquidations
- **Top seller:** Rep. John Smith (TX) - 2 transactions ($100,001 - $250,000), 1 full liquidation

You'll see:

• ✅ The timeframe of activity (30d, 90d, or 1y)
• ✅ Number of transactions and unique lawmakers involved
• ✅ Transaction amount ranges (as disclosed)
• ✅ Top buyers and sellers with their chamber (Senate/House) and state
• ✅ Pattern flags (cluster activity, liquidations, bipartisan agreement)

Important Disclaimers

Let's be clear about what this is and isn't:

✅ What This Is:

• Transparency: Public disclosure data, now organized and accessible
• Context: Additional data point for your research
• Pattern detection: Automated alerts for unusual activity

❌ What This Isn't:

• Investment advice: We report data, you make decisions
• Insider trading intel: These are legal, disclosed trades (45 days after execution)
• A crystal ball: Congressional trades can be wrong too
• Political commentary: We don't editorialize. We show the data.

Members of Congress trade for many reasons—diversification, liquidity needs, personal financial planning, or yes, sometimes conviction about a company's future. Our job is to show you the data. Your job is to interpret it within your own research framework.

Coverage and Data Quality

Where the data comes from:

• Senate disclosures: efdsearch.senate.gov
• House disclosures: disclosures-clerk.house.gov

What we track:

• All common stock purchases and sales
• Transaction amounts (disclosed as ranges, e.g., "$15,001 - $50,000")
• Full liquidations vs. partial sales
• Transaction dates and disclosure dates

Limitations:

• Trades are disclosed 30-45 days after execution (not real-time)
• Amount ranges are estimates (exact amounts not required)
• Not all strategies will have congressional activity (depends on stock universe)

Why We Built This

You told us you wanted more context around the stocks in our strategies. Insider trading? We added it. Earnings proximity? Done. Analyst estimates? Check.

Congressional activity is the next logical step. It's public data that most people don't have time to track. So we're tracking it for you.

Starting Tuesday, it's live on every strategy. No extra charge. No paywall. Just better data.
