Congressional Trades
Trades by members of Congress in the asset, from the unified House and Senate disclosure lake, over a trailing window. A trade counts from the moment its report became public, never its trade date, and an amended report changes a value only from the moment the amendment became public. Amount metrics can use the lower, midpoint, or upper end of every disclosed range. Equity disclosures are the default; confirmed option disclosures can be selected separately for numeric activity. Held requires Equity and reads the member's whole public record instead: 1 while their latest equity disclosure for the asset is a purchase or partial sale, 0 after a full sale. Held is a disclosure signal, not verified holdings or share quantity. RemainingBuyAmount reads the full public history and sums original purchase ranges of remaining lots after full sales and exercises. Unknown partial quantities retain their purchase amount estimate; sale proceeds are never subtracted. This is estimated remaining cost, not current market value. Printed expirations identify lots but do not implicitly end modeled renewal exposure.
