New: SEC Form 4 Insider Monitor — Transaction Alerts — delta alerts on new insider buys, sells and grants

What it does

SEC Form 4 Insider Monitor pulls recent Form 4 filings from EDGAR (via NexGenData's owned Form 4 scraper), explodes each filing into its individual insider transactions, and labels every transaction code — purchase, sale, grant, option exercise, and more. In delta mode it emits only transactions that are new since the last run, so you watch officer, director, and 10%-owner activity without re-seeing old filings.

Who it's for

Equity research, investor relations, event-driven funds, and governance/compliance teams tracking insider buying and selling.

Sample fields / output

accession_number, cik, ticker, company, insider_name, insider_role, is_director, is_officer, is_ten_percent_owner, transaction_date, transaction_code, transaction_label, security_title, shares, price, transaction_value, ownership_nature, filing_date, filing_url, matched_watch, and detected_at.

Example use cases

  • Track a watchlist of tickers and get alerted on every new insider transaction with a buy/sell/grant label attached.
  • Filter to open-market purchases (transaction_codes = P) to surface conviction buying signals.
  • Monitor named insiders or specific ciks for governance and clustered-activity analysis.

FAQ

How are transaction types labelled?

Codes are mapped to readable labels: P→purchase, S→sale, A→grant/award, M→option exercise, D→disposition, F→tax withholding, G→gift, J→other; unknown codes are kept as unknown_code.

Why did my first delta run return nothing?

The first delta run per watch query records a baseline and emits nothing by design. Subsequent runs emit only new transactions (matched on accession + insider + code + date).

Is this investment advice?

No. It is an alerting tool on a rolling window of recent Form 4 filings and follows EDGAR's timing. Always confirm against the official filing.
