Built by someone who got tired of screening EDGAR by hand.

Hi — I'm Alec, the founder of Insider Canary.

I started building this because I was checking SEC EDGAR every morning to see what corporate insiders, activist funds, and senators were doing with their personal money. The raw data is free and public — but parsing 500+ filings a day looking for actual signal is a part-time job. Institutional desks use Bloomberg Terminals to do this. Retail traders mostly miss it.

So I wrote the screener I wanted: every material Form 4, 8-K, 13D, and 13G filing affecting US public companies, filtered for signal, curated to the ones that actually matter, and delivered as a single email before market open. No app, no dashboard, no social-media takes — just the raw filings that institutional money is reading.

What you get

• Corporate insider trades — every Form 4 buy/sell from CEOs, CFOs, directors, and 10%+ owners. Pre-planned 10b5-1 sales filtered out.
• Material events — 8-K filings categorized by type: bankruptcies, restatements, M&A, exec changes, control changes, buybacks.
• Activist & institutional stakes — Schedule 13D and 13G filings when notable funds cross the 5% ownership threshold. Curated list of 45+ activists and major institutions (Berkshire, Icahn, Pershing Square, Tiger Global, Point72, Citadel, ARK, etc).
• Insider hit-rate context — for each insider in the digest, you see their recent trading pattern (how many buys/sells in the last 90 days totaling what value).
• Weekend coverage — Saturday "Week in Review" recap, Sunday "Week Ahead" preview with companies to watch.

What you don't get

• No stock picks, price targets, or recommendations — that's an investment advisor's job, not mine.
• No social-media chatter or sentiment analysis.
• No paywalled "premium" tier — every subscriber gets the same comprehensive digest.

Why $9.99/mo (with founding member 50% off)

Comparable services charge $20–50/mo (Whale Wisdom, Quiver Quantitative, Seeking Alpha Premium). Bloomberg charges $24,000/yr. The data we use is all public from SEC EDGAR — the cost is in the engineering to parse, filter, and curate it daily. Founding member pricing ($9.99/mo or $99/yr) is locked in forever for an initial limited cohort — once that fills, list pricing returns.
