What it does
This actor tracks every Form 144 (Notice of Proposed Sale of Restricted Securities under Rule 144) filed on SEC EDGAR. Form 144 is filed before an insider sells restricted or control stock, so it gives an early read on intended insider selling — often days ahead of the Form 4 that confirms the trade. Each run returns clean, structured records straight from EDGAR.
Who it's for
Equity analysts, event-driven and long/short funds, financial-data products, and journalists who want an early signal on insider selling pressure without scraping EDGAR by hand.
Sample fields / output
- issuer + CIK + ticker
- filer name and relationship to issuer
- filing date and intended sale date
- shares to sell and intended sale value (USD)
- broker and exchange
- link to the subsequent Form 4 confirmation
Example use cases
- Flag clusters of insider pre-sales in a watchlist before they show up in Form 4 data.
- Backtest whether Form 144 intent precedes price weakness for specific issuers.
- Feed an alerting product or newsletter that surfaces large restricted-stock sales.

FAQ
How is Form 144 different from Form 4?
Form 144 is a notice of intended sale filed before the trade; Form 4 reports the sale after it happens. Form 144 gives you the earlier signal.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from SEC EDGAR Form 144 filings — no third-party intermediary.
Can I filter to specific tickers?
Yes. Results include issuer, CIK and ticker so you can filter to any watchlist downstream.
