Insider activity. Smart money, decoded.

Insiders, funds and institutions disclose their moves in public filings every day. I read them all, pull out the ones that matter, and turn each into a file: who moved, how much, why it matters now, and a simple trade setup with entry, target, stop and risk.

How the files work

Four rules every file follows

An insider activity file is one page on one name: the filing, the context, and the setup. Everything in it comes from public disclosures on SEC EDGAR and the STOCK Act registers.

1

Public filings only

Form 4 insider trades, 13F fund positions, 13D activist stakes, congressional disclosures and reported options flow. Nothing non-public, ever.

2

Size and clusters, not noise

One director buying $10k is noise. Three officers buying on the open market in the same week, or a fund tripling a stake, is a file.

3

Every file ends in a setup

Who bought is only half of it. Each file closes with the entry, the target, the stop that proves it wrong, and the risk: half R to 1 R.

4

"No signal, no file"

When nothing worth your money was filed, you hear that too. Quiet days get posted, not padded.

The execution playbook

How a file becomes a trade

A file tells you who moved and on which name. These fourteen setups are how the entry on that name gets timed, on a 5-minute chart for a day trade or a daily chart for a swing. Amber is the entry, red is the stop and risk, green is the target and reward. They show the rules, not real fills.

Turn the trade around in 3D

The same setups, with the risk and reward drawn as volumes. Red is what you can lose on a flagged name, green is what you're aiming for. Drag to rotate.

A week with the files

What lands, and when (ET)

Morning file by email and in Discord: last night's filings sorted, the one or two names that matter, the setup attached.

Discord only: an alert when a notable Form 4 or 13D hits EDGAR, or unusual options flow prints on a watched name.

Evening file: the after-close filing batch, what triggered today, what to watch tomorrow.

Weekly smart-money map: cluster buys, new activist stakes, fund rotations, the names on watch for the week.

13F deep-dive, 45 days after quarter end: what the biggest funds added, trimmed and dropped, and which moves are worth a file.

Who's behind it

Serge P. Shuster

I worked with traders in more than a dozen banks and hedge funds, structuring trades in equities, futures, FX, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, commodities, fixed income, options and derivatives. I also led trading-desk AI at $QUBT, building the systems that turned research and filings into trade ideas. Insiders and institutions leave a paper trail, but it is scattered across thousands of filings and hard to act on. This desk reads it for you and cuts each move down to one file: the who, the why, and a simple setup with a level, a trigger, an invalidation and a size.

Questions

Before you join

What is an insider activity file?

One page on one name. It states the filing (who bought or sold, how many shares, at what price, open-market or not), the context (cluster buys, a new activist stake, a fund rotation, options flow), and a trade setup with entry, target, stop and risk.

Is this insider information? Is it legal?

Everything in the files is public. Insiders must report trades on SEC Form 4 within two business days, funds report holdings on 13F and stakes on 13D, and members of Congress disclose under the STOCK Act. The files read those disclosures; they never contain material non-public information.

What markets do you cover?

US-listed stocks and ETFs, where the filings are. The execution playbook also works on index futures (NQ, ES and the micros) for timing.

What does "half R" mean?

R is the amount you decide in advance that one trade may lose. Half R means risking half of that unit. Every setup states its risk so you can size it to your own account.

Is this financial advice?

No. The files and setups are educational examples of a rules-based process. You decide whether, and how much, to trade.

How do I get access?

Checkout and membership run through Whop. After you join, the files start the next trading day and the Discord invite appears in your Whop account.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime, from your Whop account. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
