The Market Inefficiency

Members of Congress consistently outperform the S&P 500. Yet, their trading data is buried in thousands of unreadable PDFs, making it impossible for retail investors to track in real-time. We fixed that. This archive democratizes 10 years of insider history.

Unlock 3 Levels of Analysis

Insider Trading Patterns

Identify suspicious timing. Which politicians bought defense stocks right before a war vote? Who sold tech before antitrust hearings?

Quantitative Backtesting

Don't guess—test. Simulate trading strategies based on specific politicians' history. "What if I copied Pelosi's trades with a 30-day lag?"

Source Verification

Every data point is linked to the original PDF. Verify the truth yourself. Includes stock ticker recovery for accurate mapping.

Why Quant Analysts Choose Capitol Quant

Official government sources like the Senate Electronic Financial Disclosures (EFD) and House databases are intentionally fragmented. Data is often locked in non-searchable, handwritten PDFs, creating a massive barrier for retail investors and algorithmic traders.

Our ETL pipeline bypasses these limitations by performing advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and Ticker Normalization. We map ambiguous asset names to standardized Ticker Symbols and calculate the "Reporting Lag"—the delta between the trade execution and its public filing. This allows you to identify which members of Congress are consistently outperforming the market before the public even knows a trade occurred.

Why the 'politicians' folder?

Instead of repeating "Nancy Pelosi" 1,000 times in the transaction log, we use a normalized structure:

  • 1. The "Phonebook" (politicians.csv) Contains unique IDs, Total Trade Volume, and Transaction Counts for every legislator.
  • 2. Reporting Lag Calculation We calculate the exact delay (in days) between the Trade Date and Publication Date.
This metric identifies members who consistently delay disclosures vs. those who report instantly.
