So, we need to watch when $5M of amazon stock is sold in one go, and watch what other stock is bought 3 days later, so we can profit too?

Are they allowed to leak this information like they just did with their stock trades? I wonder if any AI is able to pick up on the specific trading method used for these transactions and learn to follow the behavior and make use of information that I assume is only available to congress.

It is not like anyone would be willing to trade directly with a congress person outside an exchange with anonymous orders, considering the disparity in information and legal protection between congress people and everyone else.

/r/wallstreetbets has a couple of posters that follow her trades when she releases her financial disclosure forms.

I wouldn't doubt there are algorithms that account for it.

I remember reading on WSB that all of the trading done by those in Congress has a paper trail that anyone can see; however, it's difficult to shift through it all in a timely enough manner to make any meaningful use of it.
