About Us — WhaleSentiment Research
WhaleSentiment Research is an independent financial data journalism project. Our mission is simple: to make insider trading data — public by law but notoriously hard to interpret — accessible and understandable to every investor.
🐋 What We Do
We monitor SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) filings in real time. When an executive, board member, or major shareholder buys or sells shares of their own company, we know about it — and we make it available in a clear, analyzable format.
Our focus is on Form 4 filings (completed insider transactions), Form 144 filings (advance notice of intent to sell), and XBRL financial data that helps contextualize insider activity.
Our Principles
- Total transparency — every data point is traceable to its original SEC source filing
- No opinions disguised as data — we keep facts and analysis strictly separate
- Daily updates — data is collected and published every single day
- Free access — information that once required a Bloomberg terminal is now available to everyone at no cost
📊 How It Works
Our automated system:
- Collects Form 4 filings (completed insider transactions) from the SEC
- Analyzes Form 144 filings (intent-to-sell notices) — a leading indicator that very few platforms track
- Integrates XBRL financial data to provide context for insider transactions
- Computes the Insider Sentiment Score — a proprietary indicator that synthesizes insider behavior
- Publishes everything with daily updates in both English and Italian
🎯 Who It's For
WhaleSentiment is built for:
- Retail investors who want to follow the "big fish" in the US market
- Traders looking for leading signals in insider transactions
- Finance enthusiasts curious about what executives do with their own shares
- Financial journalists who need a reliable, transparent data source
