They trade on
information you'll never have.
SwampInsiders scores every congressional stock trade 0–130 and flags the ones worth acting on — so you don't have to read 10,000 filings a year.
535 members of Congress file STOCK Act disclosures. Most are noise. A few are committee insiders buying in their exact jurisdiction — ahead of policy decisions, federal contracts, and hearings the public hasn't heard about yet. We find those trades automatically. Every day.
For: active traders · retail investors who follow political money · swing traders watching policy
What you get · by the numbers
Congress beats the market consistently — not because they're better stock-pickers, but because they trade what they regulate. Committee seats, hearing schedules, and federal contracts create a legal information advantage. SwampInsiders scores every trade against those factors so you can spot the ones that actually matter.
The problem with every other tool
You can see the trade.
You can't tell if it matters.
Capitol Trades shows you the filing. Unusual Whales posts it on Twitter. But none of them answer the real question: is this trade actually a signal?
"How do I know if there are real signals this week, or just noise?"
SwampScore gives every trade a 0–130 score. Only 5.1% qualify as High. The rest you can safely ignore.
"I don't know if this is rebalancing or signal."
Six causal factors — committee seat, herding, federal money flow, track record — separate conviction from noise.
"Is this congressman even on the right committee?"
Every trade is committee-mapped automatically. Direct jurisdiction scores 3× higher than tangential sector overlap.
"Are other members piling in at the same time?"
Herding is auto-detected. When 3+ peers buy the same ticker within 14 days, the score spikes +15 pts.
"I can't cross-reference government contracts manually."
USASpending.gov is synced daily. Federal contract within 90 days of the trade = +20 pts automatically.
"There's too much to filter through."
High / Medium / Low. Open an alert, read the label, decide in 10 seconds. That's it.
What SwampInsiders checks on every trade
Six questions.
Answered in seconds.
These are the checks a professional analyst would run manually — taking hours. SwampInsiders runs all six automatically the moment a filing hits gov.
Is this congressman on the committee that oversees this company?
Does this committee actually have market power?
Are multiple members piling in at the same time?
What's this politician's track record in this sector?
Did a government contract just land at this company?
Is this a self-directed position or a spousal account?
All six factors are computed automatically on every trade. The result is a single SwampScore (0–130) and a plain-English label: High / Medium / Low. You don't have to read the filings. You don't have to know the committee structure. We did it.

Common objection
“By the time it's disclosed,
the market already moved.”
Only true for the wrong trades. When a congressman on the Armed Services Committee buys a defense contractor 10 days before a procurement announcement — the 45-day disclosure lag is irrelevant. The committee advantage creates a 6–12 month structural tailwind, not a single-day pop.
SwampScore only flags the trades where the underlying informational asymmetry is durable. Direct committee jurisdiction + herding + federal money flow = a signal that doesn't expire in 48 hours.
Trades where 45-day lag kills the signal
Single-event price reaction — market prices in the filing immediately.
Trades where committee jurisdiction creates 6-month alpha
Policy advantage + regulatory foreknowledge = persistent edge.
Trades where herding confirms coordination
3+ peers buying in 14 days — not coincidence. Not priced in yet.
