Capitol Lens

Tracking every stock trade members of Congress make. Scoring which ones actually matter. 30K+ trades indexed. ~70% hit rate on flagged trades.

I built a system that tracks every stock trade members of Congress make.

It scores which ones are worth paying attention to.

30,000+ trades indexed. Flagged trades hit ~70% over 2 months. Ignored ones: 49%

The edge is real. I'll be posting what it catches. 👀

If a member of Congress outperforms the S&P by 20%+ for 3 straight years, that's not skill. 😂

That's insider information with extra steps.

Name ONE retail trader who beats the market by that margin.

[Capitol Lens @CapitolLens]

Reminder: Congress sold over $100M in stock in the weeks before the COVID crash.

That's not a conspiracy theory. That's public disclosure.

I built Capitol Lens so retail traders could see the same patterns.

All in real time, all for free.

In February, my system flagged something unusual...

30+ members of Congress started buying the same stock within weeks of each other.

A Senator on Banking put $5M+ in over multiple weeks.

The ticker in the replies. 👇

When 3+ members of Congress *from both parties* buy the same stock in the same month.... Pay attention!

Bipartisan clusters are the strongest signal in my model.

They rarely agree on anything. When they agree on a trade, there's always a reason

[Capitol Lens @CapitolLens]

Members with committee oversight over a sector consistently outperform in that sector.

Banking Committee --> financials.
Armed Services --> defence.
HELP Committee --> biotech.

This isn't random folks, and its not luck. It's information asymmetry.

[Capitol Lens @CapitolLens]

Congress traded over $180M in individual stocks last year.

89% of those trades weren't worth shit.

The 11% that were? Beat the S&P by a wide margin.

Knowing which trades matter IS THE GAME.

[Capitol Lens @CapitolLens]

I'm not a Wall Street guy. I'm a student.

Congress has to disclose their trades. Nobody was organizing the data into something more than a spreadsheet.

So I built Capitol Lens.
