The instant a member of Congress, a corporate insider, or a market whale files a public disclosure, Trace and Trade catches it, scores it with AI, and pushes the high-signal moves straight to your phone. Public filings are buried in slow, scattered government and SEC systems. Trace and Trade pulls them together in real time and rates each one 1-10 for significance, so you spend your attention only on what matters. Data sources we track: - SEC insider filings: Form 3, Form 4, Form 144, 8-K, 13D, 13G - US House and Senate stock-trade disclosures (PTRs) - 13F hedge-fund and institutional holdings - Polymarket and Kalshi prediction-market activity - FINRA dark-pool and short-volume activity - Lobbying disclosures - Federal contract awards Built natively for your phone: - Push notifications the moment a high-score filing lands - AI significance score (1-10) on every disclosure - Deep links straight to the filing that triggered the alert - App-icon badge so you never miss a signal - Face ID lock for private access - Pull-to-refresh, haptics, and native sharing How it works: 1. We continuously monitor government, SEC, and market data sources. 2. Each new filing is scored 1-10 by AI for how significant it is. 3. The high-signal ones push to your phone in real time. 4. Tap through to read the full disclosure and decide for yourself. Privacy first: third-party tracking is disabled inside the app. We only use your account email, your user id, and (if you opt in to alerts) your notification token to run the service. Nothing is sold or used to track you across other apps. Important: Trace and Trade is an information tool, not investment advice. We aggregate public government and SEC disclosures and display prediction-market data for informational purposes only. The app does not execute trades, place bets, or handle money. Always do your own research and consult a licensed professional before making any financial decision. Questions? support@traceandtrade.net
