Frequently asked questions

Yes. Corporate insiders are legally required to publicly report their trades within two business days. We monitor these public filings and analyze them — the same data available to any investor.

No. CEO Trader provides opinions and analysis for educational and informational purposes only. Our portfolio tracks hypothetical positions — no real money is traded. Algorithm-generated analysis may contain errors. Always do your own research and consult a financial advisor.

Tools like Finviz, OpenInsider, and WhaleWisdom show raw data dumps for ALL insiders — every VP, director, and officer across thousands of filings. No filtering, no scoring, no portfolio tracking. CEO Trader focuses exclusively on CEO open-market purchases (the strongest insider signal), then runs each through multi-factor analysis with fundamental, financial, and technical scoring. Every BUY/STRONG BUY gets tracked in a live portfolio benchmarked against the S&P 500.

STRONG BUY > BUY > WATCH > AVOID > STRONG AVOID. Only BUY and STRONG BUY opinions enter the tracked portfolio. Each analysis includes a weighted composite score from 0-100 across fundamental, financial, and technical dimensions.

Yes. Cancel through your account page at any time. Your subscription stays active through the end of the billing period. No questions asked, no hoops to jump through — managed securely through Stripe.

All stocks listed on major US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ). We filter out OTC and penny stocks to keep analysis quality high.

Every BUY or STRONG BUY signal enters a mock portfolio with a $100 position alongside a $100 S&P 500 (SPY) benchmark bought the same day. Positions close at +10% (target hit) or -15% (stop loss). Alpha is the difference between our signal return and SPY's return over the same period. Every position — open and closed — is visible on our /track-record page.
