Question 1

What is insider trading and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Insider trading refers to buying or selling securities by corporate insiders — such as CEOs, CFOs, directors, and 10% beneficial owners — who have access to material, non-public information. Lynx MI tracks legal, disclosed insider transactions filed via SEC Form 4. Tracking these trades can reveal meaningful signals about a company's future prospects.

Question 2

How does Lynx MI track congressional trading?

Accepted Answer

Lynx MI aggregates financial disclosures mandated by the STOCK Act, which requires members of Congress to report securities transactions within 45 days. Our platform cross-references legislative committee assignments with portfolio changes to identify potential information advantages.

Question 3

What is the AI conviction score?

Accepted Answer

The conviction score is a 0-100 rating assigned by Lynx MI's AI engine to each insider trade. It analyzes factors such as trade size relative to the insider's holdings, whether it was a 10b5-1 pre-planned trade or discretionary, cluster buying patterns, and the insider's historical accuracy to determine how meaningful the signal is.
