Company insiders — executives, directors, and major shareholders — are required to file stock transactions with the SEC. Argus Terminal monitors every Form 4, 13-F, 10-Q, and 10-K filing in real time, flags significant activity automatically, and surfaces the context that turns a data point into a signal.

The Argus SEC-EDGAR agent watches four categories of filing simultaneously.
Required within 2 business days of any insider transaction. Argus monitors for purchase clusters (multiple insiders buying in the same window), large single-transaction buys relative to the insider's historical activity, and CEO/CFO transactions specifically — which historically carry more signal weight than director activity.
Institutional investors managing over $100M must report their long equity positions quarterly. Argus analyzes 13-F filings for new position initiations, significant position increases, and mass exits — particularly when multiple major funds move in the same direction on the same ticker within a quarter.
Quarterly and annual reports contain information that rarely makes it into the earnings call summary — changes in risk factor language, new litigation disclosures, subtle shifts in revenue recognition, and inventory build-ups that suggest future margin pressure. Argus extracts these automatically.
A 13D filing signals that an investor has crossed 5% ownership with activist intent — a precursor to board pressure, M&A, or structural change. Argus flags these immediately and correlates them with the M&A Catalyst Scanner to assess deal probability.
Argus distinguishes meaningful activity from noise.
A single insider buy is interesting. Three insider buys within 30 days — across different roles — is a materially stronger signal. Argus weights cluster activity significantly higher than single-transaction filings.
Many Form 4 filings are routine options exercises or 10b5-1 plan transactions with no informational content. Argus identifies and down-weights these — so the alerts you receive represent genuine discretionary activity, not scheduled compensation events.
A $50,000 purchase from a director who has never bought open-market shares is more significant than a $500,000 routine buy from one who does it every quarter. Argus evaluates each transaction in the context of that insider's historical filing pattern.
Every insider signal is cross-referenced with the full Argus Terminal stack before reaching you.
When insider activity and congressional trades align on the same ticker, the combined signal carries substantially higher conviction. Argus surfaces this correlation explicitly — including the timing gap between the two filing types.
Heavy insider buying into a high-short-interest setup can signal a squeeze catalyst. Argus evaluates each Form 4 cluster against the current short ratio and days-to-cover to identify elevated squeeze probability.
Insider purchases made during a blackout period or within 30 days before earnings are flagged differently — both for their timing signal and for compliance context. Argus notes the proximity to earnings in every Form 4 alert.
Every SEC alert passes through the 8-stage quant engine before surfacing. A strong insider buying cluster in a downtrending market regime gets a materially different conviction score than the same cluster in a confirmed uptrend.
