Built for regular people. Not hedge funds. Not institutional investors. Everyone else.
For decades, members of Congress have operated with access to information, policy discussions, economic decisions, and legislative developments that ordinary Americans simply do not see in real time. While everyday people are trying to build savings, invest responsibly, and create financial stability for their families, many politicians have consistently outperformed the market while sitting closest to the decisions that can move it.
Then came the STOCK Act. For the first time, congressional trading disclosures became available to the public. But the problem is that the information is scattered, delayed, difficult to follow, and nearly impossible for the average person to organize into something useful. Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress have up to 45 days to disclose personal trades. We sync new filings every 15 minutes. The moment a disclosure goes public, it appears here.
We built this platform to turn congressional trading disclosures into understandable, accessible market intelligence for ordinary investors. Instead of digging through government filings and outdated reports, users can track congressional trades, monitor trends, follow politicians, create watchlists, receive alerts, analyze historical performance, and better understand how political decisions may impact the market.
This platform is not built for hedge funds or institutional investors with millions of dollars to throw around. It is built for regular people. Not everyone has $50,000 ready to drop into a stock overnight. Maybe it is $100. Maybe it is $500. Maybe it is just the desire to finally understand what the people in Washington are investing in and why. The goal of this platform is to help users see what is happening, study patterns, follow trends, and make more informed decisions with whatever amount they are starting with.
Project Blackbook does not editorialize. We present publicly disclosed trading data and let readers draw their own conclusions. Every figure, every date, and every disclosure delay shown on this platform comes directly from official government records. We hold every politician, regardless of party, to the same standard of scrutiny.
We surface public data that was always available but practically inaccessible.
The same information available to institutional investors, now available to everyone.
We display data as filed. We do not editorialize, speculate on intent, or make investment recommendations.
Public officials make public disclosures. We make those disclosures actually public.
We want to be clear about what this platform is and what it is not. We are an information platform. We do not give financial advice, and nothing here should be taken as a recommendation to buy or sell any security. What we offer is visibility — the same public disclosures that have always existed, organized in a way that actually makes sense. Dollar values are estimated from disclosed ranges as required by the STOCK Act. Congressional trades can be filed up to 45 days after the transaction occurs.
