What Are Insider Trade Statistics?
Insider trade statistics provide a quarterly summary of buying and selling activity by corporate insiders — including CEOs, CFOs, directors, and major shareholders who own 10% or more of a company's stock. These statistics are derived from SEC Form 4 filings, which insiders are legally required to submit within two business days of any transaction. By aggregating individual trades into quarterly metrics, insider trade statistics reveal patterns that individual filings cannot — such as whether insiders are consistently accumulating or disposing of shares over time.
Key metrics include the number of acquired and disposed transactions, the acquired-to-disposed ratio, total and average share volumes, and open market purchases versus sales. These data points help investors assess insider sentiment and identify potential inflection points in a stock's trajectory.

Why Track Insider Trade Statistics?
Gauge Insider Sentiment
Quarterly statistics reveal whether insiders are consistently accumulating or disposing of shares, providing a clearer picture than individual trades.
