Insider Transactions
Directors' and officers' dealings in more than fifty markets, read from the official source in each one.
When the people who run a company buy its stock with their own money, it is worth knowing. ORTEX reads directors' and officers' dealings from official regulator and exchange sources across more than fifty markets, 7.2 million transactions in all, and scores every one for conviction. You can separate a deliberate open-market purchase from a routine grant at a glance, anywhere in the world, in one feed.
At a glance
- 7.2m insider transactions from official sources
- 50+ markets covered
- 237,000 insiders profiled
- < 1 min from SEC publication to the ORTEX feed
1.6x as many insider trading days as the leading global aggregator in our own 12-month comparison, because ORTEX reads the regulators directly in more than fifty markets rather than relying on one resold feed.

What you can do with it
- Idea generation. Cluster buys and large open-market purchases by executives, within a minute of filing.
- Systematic signals. Decades of point-in-time filings across markets to build and test an insider factor.
- Monitoring. Follow a person, a board or a whole market in one consistent feed.
Global coverage, scored for conviction
One feed across more than fifty markets, and a score you can rank across all of them.
- Europe and the UK. The UK and every major European market, from Germany, France and the Nordics to Poland, Greece, the Baltics and Turkey.
- Asia-Pacific. Korea, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand.
- Americas, Middle East and Africa. The US, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Israel, South Africa, Egypt and more.
- Conviction, scored. Every trade carries a 0 to 3 conviction score. A discretionary open-market purchase scores top; a grant, a vesting or a tax withholding scores low.
- People, not just filings. 237,000 insiders profiled with their full history across every company, and 42,000 rated on how their past trades performed.
- Within a minute. US filings are in the feed within a minute of the SEC publishing them, and every other market is collected continuously as its regulator publishes. Canada from 1995, the UK from 1999.
