Large, unplanned purchases by executives in NYSE- and Nasdaq-listed companies, updated in your dashboard within minutes of filing.
An executive is legally required to file a purchase with the SEC within two business days. Once filed, the SEC publishes it almost immediately, usually the same day. That is why the transaction date often sits just one or two days before the filing date. When an executive files on the day of the trade itself, you see it directly: transaction date and filing date line up.
Five steps. No noise.
We read every Form 4 filing
Every trading day, US executives file mandatory disclosures with the SEC. We show you qualifying purchases in your dashboard within minutes of SEC publication.
We filter strictly
Only open-market purchases of $250,000 or more by officers or directors, on NYSE or Nasdaq, with no pre-set 10b5-1 plan attached.
You see what matters
The overview appears directly in your dashboard, readable at a glance, ready whenever you have time to review it.
The day's top buys, in your inbox
At 04:30 CET, once the SEC filing window has closed for the day, members receive the day's three largest insider buys by email.

A large, unplanned purchase is a fact.
Not a forecast, not an expectation, not an opinion. It is a decision made by someone who knows the company from the inside.
No one knows the company better
A CEO, CFO or board member has daily visibility into how the business is really doing. When they buy more privately, that is a meaningful signal.
Real own money, real risk
An open-market purchase is not an option grant or an award. The executive commits personal capital and bears the full price risk.
Unplanned weighs more than planned
A purchase outside a 10b5-1 schedule is an active decision made in the moment. That carries more signal than a trade locked in months ago.

The questions we hear most.
Do you provide investment advice?+
No. BoardroomTrades is an information service. We make publicly available SEC filings easier to read. We do not provide advice, recommendations or forecasts.
Where does the data come from?+
Directly from the SEC, the US securities regulator. Every insider at a US-listed company must disclose their stock transactions on a Form 4 filing. We read these filings and bring you the large open-market insider purchases.
Why only purchases of $250,000 and above?+
Below that, you would mostly be scrolling through small, routine transactions. Smaller purchases can be meaningful too, but showing them all means losing sight of the ones that matter most. From $250,000, a purchase is a serious personal commitment for the executive. That is where we draw the line, so the dashboard stays focused on the buys that stand out.
What does 'unplanned' mean?+
Executives can pre-set a Rule 10b5-1 plan that locks in when and how much they will buy or sell, with those trades decided months in advance. We filter those out and only show open-market insider purchases decided in the moment.
How often do new filings appear?+
Form 4 filings trickle in all through the trading day, with the biggest wave right after the US market close. The moment the SEC publishes a qualifying purchase, it's on your dashboard, within minutes, not the next morning.
Do I need a US broker?+
No. You can buy US stocks through almost any international online broker, including Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, E*TRADE, Robinhood, Saxo, DEGIRO and Trade Republic.
Do I get email alerts?+
Yes. At 04:30 CET on the morning after every US trading day, once all of the day's filings are in, the biggest insider buys land straight in your inbox. On quiet days you get a one-line note instead, so you never have to wonder whether you missed something. Rather stick to the dashboard only? Turn the email off with one click, right from the email itself, or on your account page, where you can also turn it back on.
Why do the transaction date and filing date differ?+
After a purchase, an executive has two business days to file Form 4 with the SEC. The SEC then publishes the filing almost immediately, usually within minutes and typically the same day. The delay sits with the executive's filing, not with SEC publication. That is why the transaction date is often one or two days before the filing date. A filing made on the same day as the trade can be isolated with the "only same-day filings" filter.
How is market cap calculated?+
We multiply the shares outstanding reported on the cover of the company's most recent SEC filing by the price the insider paid. Because share counts are only updated each quarter, the figure is an approximation and may differ from other sources. It reflects the company's size at the time of the purchase, not today. For companies that have recently gone public, no share count has been filed yet, so market cap is shown as a dash until their first quarterly report.
How does the 14-day refund work?+
Email support@boardroomtrades.com within 14 days of your first payment and we refund the full amount to your original payment method within a few business days, no questions asked. You can cancel your subscription yourself through your account's billing portal, or we take care of it for you when we process the refund.
