Insider Capital is powered by Insider Alpha — research and decision-support technology that screens public SEC filings and surfaces a small set of high-conviction insider buys for you to consider. There are no tips and no discretion: the same published rules run every trading day to surface candidates, and you review each one and place the trade yourself in a couple of taps. Nothing trades until you confirm, and you can pause or disconnect at any time.
When a corporate insider buys their own company's stock on the open market, they must disclose it to the SEC on a Form 4. Most of those filings carry little signal. Insider Capital surfaces only the small fraction that clear a strict filter — a purchase qualifies only when all of the following hold:
The insider-purchase effect is one of the most studied anomalies in finance. Insiders know their business better than anyone, and they only profit on a purchase if the stock rises. The conditioning factors above — the seniority of the buyer (CFOs are especially informative), clustered buying, conviction relative to existing holdings, and acting quickly on the filing — are each associated with stronger forward returns in the academic literature. Selectivity is the point: out of thousands of filings, only a handful are ever traded.
Qualifying signals are infrequent, so capital is often uninvested. When the broad market is in a calm uptrend — the S&P 500 above its 200-day moving average and volatility subdued — Insider Capitalmay surface a proposal to put idle cash into a 3× leveraged S&P 500 ETF (UPRO) to stay invested; otherwise it suggests holding cash. Be clear-eyed about this: a leveraged position tends to drive both the upside and the worst drawdowns far more than the insider signal itself, which is exactly why this proposal is gated by the market regime — leverage is dangerous in volatile or falling markets. As with every proposal, it is placed only if you review and confirm it.
You link your own brokerage account through a secure connection.Insider Capital never sees your password or API keys and never takes custody of your money. The engine stages proposed trades; from your dashboard you review each one and place it yourself in a couple of taps — nothing trades until you confirm. You choose paper or live, set a maximum allocation per position, and can pause or disconnect whenever you want. Every order is placed in your own account at your direction.
Any performance figures associated with this approach are hypothetical and backtested, are gross of costs, and have inherent limitations; they do not represent actual trading and are not indicative of future results. Live, net-of-cost results will be materially lower. A leveraged position can lose a large share of its value quickly. Insider Capital provides research and decision-support software — not investment, financial, tax, or legal advice — and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You review and place each trade yourself. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss; only trade with money you can afford to lose. See our full Risk Disclosure.
