Disclosure methodology

How politician trade disclosures are presented

Definitions, timing limitations, and source treatment for public-official transaction previews.

Reviewed Aug 26, 2026 by Devon Park, Research · Lazy Trader AI public data policy

Transaction date versus filed date

The transaction date is when the disclosed activity reportedly occurred. The filed date is when the disclosure became available. The gap can be substantial, so a filing is not a real-time trading signal.

What the preview shows

The public preview is limited to approved identity, ticker, action, transaction-date, and filed-date fields. It shows at most two real records from a stable snapshot and never embeds later records beneath a visual blur.

Important limitations

Public disclosures can be amended and may report ranges or ownership connected to a spouse or dependent.

  • A disclosure is historical and should not be treated as a recommendation.
  • Names and instruments are normalized, but users should verify the original public filing.
  • Missing data does not establish that no transaction occurred.
