How strong would you indicate the results? Did you actually had success with this approach? I am asking because I read several times, that there is no evidence for beating the market over longer periods (years) using technical analysis.

From the ML perspective it would therefore be interesting which other data could be added to train the models that allows a much more detailed prediction?

I’m more interested in whether this kind of analytics can be adapted for insider transactions. Obviously, the timeframe would be much shorter, though not always. But I think for most companies with insider deals published on sec.gov, the relevant period is probably no more than 12 months.

What kind of analytics are you looking for on insider transactions? It’s usually pretty straightforward. They sell for all sorts of reasons, but they only buy when they expect profits. What you really need isn’t analytics, it’s filters. Check out this site: prismo.pro/stocks-screener. You can quickly see which stocks are being bought by insiders the most, how many of them there are, and how often they’ve bought over the past year. I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere else!
