Copying every insider buy is a rookie mistake.
Most insider transactions are noise — routine, scheduled, or too small to mean anything. Buying a stock just because one insider bought shares won't net positive results. The signal is in which insiders buy, how much, and whether they're buying together.
"An insider bought. I'm in."
- Option exercises dressed up as purchases — compensation, not conviction.
- Scheduled 10b5-1 plan buys — automatic trades set months in advance.
- Token purchases — a $15k buy from an executive earning $4M a year.
- A lone director nibbling — one small buy, no one else following.
"The people who know best are loading up."
- Open-market buys, big for the company — $5M into a $300M small cap, not a $500B giant.
- Clusters — CEO, CFO, and directors all buying within weeks of each other.
- Senior conviction — the executives closest to the numbers, not junior insiders.
- Real stake growth — a CFO doubling their position, not adding 1%.
Separating the two by hand means reading thousands of filings. So we score every stock instead.
The Insider Quality Score. Every stock, rated 0–99.
One number that measures the size, intensity, and significance of insider buying — so you never mistake noise for conviction again.
Purchase volume vs. market cap
A $5M buy is huge for a $50M company and a rounding error for a $500B one. Size is measured relative to the company.
Cluster buying
One insider buying is good. The CEO, CFO, and multiple directors all buying within weeks is a much stronger signal.
Insider role weighting
A CEO or CFO purchase means more than a director's, which means more than a lower-level insider's.
Holding change
A CFO who doubles their stake is making a real commitment. An executive adding 1% to a huge position isn't.
