A clearer record.
With the context intact.
Vail makes public congressional trading disclosures easier to explore. The original filing remains the source of record.
A disclosure is not a live trade.
The transaction date tells you when a trade was reported to have happened. The filing date tells you when it was disclosed. Those dates can be weeks apart. Our feed is ordered by filing date.
Amounts are ranges.
A disclosed range such as $15,001–$50,000 is not an exact transaction value. We show the reported range without turning it into a precise estimate.
Available records, not complete portfolios.
Historical coverage and politician records may be incomplete. Amendments, unsupported documents and records requiring review can affect what appears. Unusual scans stop for review instead of being published as partial transactions. An empty result does not establish that no trading occurred.
The public feed focuses on transactions with identifiable securities. It does not represent every asset in every filing. Members’ filings may include transactions for spouses or dependent children; view the original source for ownership details.
Track first. Choose alerts separately.
Tracking keeps selected politicians in your personal feed. Email alerts are optional and cover new disclosed activity detected by our scheduled processing. They are not instant trade notifications and currently include purchases and sales.
