What Are U.S. House Trades?
U.S. House trades refer to the stock and securities transactions made by members of the United States House of Representatives and their spouses and dependent children, as reported in financial disclosures. Reportable transactions in non-excepted securities above $1,000 generally require a periodic transaction report by the earlier of 30 days after notification or 45 days after the transaction. This tracker uses Financial Modeling Prep data and does not independently verify each filing. See the House financial disclosure guidance for the reporting rules and exceptions.

Why Track U.S. House Representative Trades?
Documented Transactions
Inspect the assets and dates reported in a filing. A transaction does not reveal its motive, who chose it, or whether non-public information was involved.
Transparency & Accountability
The STOCK Act mandates disclosure of congressional trades. Tracking these trades promotes government transparency and helps hold elected officials accountable.
Research Context
While not a guarantee of future performance, congressional trading patterns can serve as one of many data points in your investment research process.
Understanding the Data Fields
Each trade disclosure contains several important fields. The Symbol identifies the traded security. Representative shows the House member who filed the disclosure. The District field (e.g., CA11, OH02) indicates the congressional district they represent. Owner reveals whether the trade was made by the member themselves, their spouse, or a dependent child. Asset Type distinguishes between stocks, stock options, bonds, and other securities. The Amount is reported in ranges (e.g., $1,001 - $15,000) rather than exact figures, as required by disclosure rules. The Transaction Date is when the trade actually occurred, while the Disclosure Date is when the filing was made public. The Capital Gains field reproduces the provider's over-$200 flag when supplied; missing values are unknown. It is not enough to calculate a return. Provider records may be incomplete or corrected. Use filing links where available. For research only, not investment advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often is the House trades data updated?
The tracker requests Financial Modeling Prep data on load, search and refresh. The latest view requests up to 200 records; it is not a complete archive. Provider coverage and publication delays vary. House PTR deadlines are generally the earlier of 30 days after notification or 45 days after a reportable transaction.
Why are trade amounts shown as ranges instead of exact figures?
The filings report value bands rather than exact trade amounts. Sorting and amount filters use the lower end of each band. These amounts do not establish current holdings, trade profit or portfolio returns.
What does the Owner field mean?
Owner describes the reported holder: the member, a spouse, a dependent child or joint ownership. A missing value is unknown and should be checked against the original filing; it does not prove that the member personally made the trade.
Should I copy the trades of House members?
A filing is a delayed disclosure, not a buy or sell recommendation. It does not establish why a transaction occurred or whether the filer had non-public information. Check the source document and evaluate the investment independently.
Is this House trades tracker completely free?
Search, filters and CSV export do not require a paid Pineify plan or account. Data availability depends on provider coverage and website request limits. Export includes the filtered records already loaded, not every historical congressional transaction.
