Alpha4 tracks legal insider stock trades — the kind made by CEOs, CFOs, and board members who actually know what’s going on inside their companies. We scan every SEC Form 4 filing, score the best trades, and send the highest-conviction buys to your inbox before the market opens.

Insiders are company officers (like CEOs, CFOs, or Presidents), board members, and large stakeholders. These are the people who actually run the company — and who are legally required to report when they buy or sell their own stock.

An insider trade is when one of those company insiders buys or sells stock in their own company. It’s legal but heavily regulated. Every trade must be filed with the SEC on Form 4, typically within 2 business days.

Yes. We only use publicly available information from the SEC. Hedge funds and institutional investors have been doing this for years. Alpha4 just makes it accessible for regular people.

Technically, yes. But good luck. There are over 5,000 daily filings, and only around 200 are real insider trades. Of those, maybe 1–5 are actually worth your attention. We do the filtering, scoring, and signal extraction for you — so you don’t have to spend hours digging through Form 4 PDFs.

We use a custom scoring system to separate the real signals from the noise. Each trade is evaluated based on the insider’s past success, the size of the buy compared to their previous trades, whether it was a discretionary move or part of a pre-planned program, and whether multiple insiders are buying at once.

We also look at how similar setups have performed historically. Only the highest-scoring trades make it through to your inbox.

Politicians have up to 45 days (or longer) to disclose trades. By then, the alpha is often gone. But corporate insiders must file within 2 business days, so you can actually act on the signal while it’s fresh.

We send alerts in the morning before the market opens — so you can move early, not after the crowd piles in. Each alert includes the ticker, insider name/role, size of the buy, price paid, and a short breakdown of why it matters.

No. Insiders sell for all kinds of boring reasons — taxes, divorce, diversification. But when they buy with their own cash? That’s a signal we care about.

Nope. No investment strategy is risk-free. These alerts are signals, not gospel. You still have to make your own trading decisions — we just give you the best info we can.

Absolutely. You don’t need to be a Wall Street pro to understand our alerts. If you can read a text message, you can follow what we send.

We do trade on our alerts. But this strategy is scalable. There’s enough alpha to go around, and as we grow, we can adapt and expand our system. Plus, the more attention smart trades get, the more pressure it puts on shady market behavior. Win-win.

Yes. No contracts, no games. If it’s not for you, just unsubscribe.
