Questions people ask
What is a Form 4?
A Form 4 is the disclosure a person discharging managerial responsibilities, or a closely associated person, files when transacting in their own company's securities in United States. It falls under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and must be published within two business days of the transaction.
When must a Form 4 be published?
Within two business days of the transaction, as required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The publication timestamp, not the transaction date, is what InsiderScope treats as the start of a signal.
Where does SEC publish insider transaction report?
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission publishes them on its own official disclosure channel, which is the only source InsiderScope reads for United States. No aggregator or third-party feed sits in between.
How do I track insider transaction report in United States?
Filter the screener to United States to see each published disclosure with its band, or set an alert on a company or insider. Every field is normalised to the same schema used for the other jurisdictions in scope.
Does InsiderScope grade every SEC filing?
No. A filing is graded only when the source is live and the disclosure carries the fields the characterisation needs. Anything else stays visible as unscored rather than being quietly dropped.
Can United States disclosures be compared with other markets?
Yes. SEC filings are mapped into the same schema and the same Score A to Score D scale as the other 11 regulators, so a United States disclosure and a US Form 4 are described on identical terms.
