Form 4

Also called SEC Form 4, statement of changes in beneficial ownership

The filing an officer, director or more-than-10% owner of a US listed company sends the SEC after trading the company's stock.

Who files a Form 4, and when?

Form 4 reports a change in an insider's holdings to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of a company's stock must file it within two business days of buying, selling or receiving the company's shares or options.

The form lists the trade date, a transaction code (P for an open-market purchase, S for a sale), the number of shares, the price and the shares held afterwards. Option exercises and shares received as pay are reported on the same form even though no money changed hands.

Whalegun gathers every Form 4 the SEC publishes each day and shows open-market buys and sales by person and by stock. Each trade carries a number computed from the filing, such as how much the holding grew or shrank or the first buy in how many years.
