Prebuilt insider filters
Skip the filter maze. Start with a prebuilt view that matches the insider activity you want to review.
Plain English
Insider trading data can get overwhelming fast. One SEC Form 4 feed can include real purchases, sales, stock grants, option exercises, tax withholding, gifts, and amended filings.
Named Views make the feed easier to use. Each view applies a common filter for you, so you can start with a clear question instead of building a search from scratch.
Blue Collar Picks does not tell you what to buy or sell. It helps you read public insider filing data faster.

How to read the data
Form 4 is the filing insiders use to report many ownership changes. The SEC says most transactions by officers, directors, and 10% shareholders must be reported within two business days.
Transaction code matters. Code P means a purchase on an exchange or from another person. Code S means a sale. Codes like A, M, and F often relate to awards, option exercises, or tax withholding.
Sales need context. Insiders may sell for taxes, diversification, planned trading programs, or personal liquidity. A sale is not automatically a warning sign.
Cluster buys are worth reviewing because multiple insiders bought the same company in a short period. Academic research has found cluster purchases can carry more information than isolated purchases, but they are still research prompts, not recommendations.

You do not need to build the perfect filter. Pick the closest view, scan the table, then open the SEC filing when something looks worth a closer look.
