Capitol Markets now checks Senate filings hourly and publishes free profiles of 623 officials

Capitol Markets, a Florida-based news and data site that tracks stock trades disclosed by members of Congress and senior executive-branch officials, said on Sept. 29 that it now checks Senate financial disclosures every hour and executive-branch filings every day. The change shortens the time between an official filing a trade report and that report appearing on the site.

The House Clerk's disclosure site is checked about every ten minutes on weekdays. The Senate's electronic disclosure system is now checked hourly between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern, up from twice a day, and executive-branch filings from the Office of Government Ethics are checked each morning instead of once a week.

Each of the 623 officials tracked has a free profile. Where an annual financial disclosure is on file, the profile gives a net-worth estimate as the range the official reported, with its midpoint. Net-worth ranges are on file for 565 officials. Of those, 234 report at least $1 million at the low end of the range, and 57 report at least $10 million. Profiles also show trading results for the year to date, the past year and the past five years, measured against what the same dollars would have earned in the S&P 500 on the same dates.

A Top Stocks table ranks the companies members of Congress buy and sell by net buying, net selling and number of trades, for windows from the past month to five years. Over the past year, members disclosed 13,925 trades in 1,652 stocks, and JPMorgan Chase had the largest net buying. Across every trade in the dataset, Microsoft, Apple, NVIDIA, Amazon and Alphabet are the most frequently traded. Nine sector pages, covering defense, artificial intelligence and big tech, crypto, healthcare, energy, banking, industrials and consumer stocks, group the same trades by industry. Each shows net buying or selling by members next to how the sector's stocks have performed.

The site also publishes reporting on new filings. An analysis posted this week compared officials who concentrated their 2026 purchases in a few companies with those who spread them across dozens. Six of the seven officials who bought 30 or more different stocks this year, with no single stock above 14 percent of their buying, trail the S&P 500 on the leaderboard's same-dollars measure. Nancy Pelosi, who disclosed purchases in seven companies, ranks second among the 39 officials the leaderboard ranks for the year.

"A member's record should be something a reader can check in a few minutes, at no cost," said Matthew, founder of Capitol Markets. "The numbers come from the government's own filings, and the site says where."

Reading is free. An email address unlocks the full trade feed at no charge, and a free account, which also needs only an email address, adds a watchlist of up to three politicians. Same-day filing alerts are part of Capitol Markets Pro, which costs $12.99 a month, with a limited founding-member rate of $5 a month.
