- Count of disclosed equity transactions per company across all filers in our data.
- Sector attached from our own universe where the company is covered.
- Trade COUNT is not conviction. Disclosures report a dollar band, not an exact figure, so a $1,001 trade and a $15,000 trade both count as one.
- Our filer coverage is a sample, not the whole of Congress.
- Frequency tells you nothing about performance. This is not a signal, and treating it as one is how people lose money copying strangers.
