Which View Should I Use?
Blue Collar Picks has several feed views. Here is which one to start with as a beginner, and what each view is actually for.
The feed has several views. They are all built on the same Form 4 data, just filtered differently. Here is the order most beginners should walk through them.
1. All Trades
The default. Every Qualified Buy and Sale across every covered ticker, newest first. Use this for broad monitoring when you do not know what you are looking for yet.
2. Purchases
Open-market buys only. This is the view to live in if you are looking for insider conviction. No grants, no tax events, no sales.
3. Cluster Buys
Companies where more than one insider has bought in the same short window. This is the highest-signal entry point most days. If you only check one view, this is a strong default.
4. Big Buys $500k+
Open-market purchases above 500,000 dollars. This is where the largest dollar conviction trades surface. Many of these are CEO or 10 percent holder buys.
5. Sales
Open-market sales. Useful as context and for risk awareness. Read with caution: many sales are scheduled or for personal reasons unrelated to the company.
6. Full Form 4 Ledger
Everything. Including the mechanical rows like grants, tax withholdings, exercises, and gifts. Use this when you want to audit a single company or you suspect a row is filtered out for a reason. Most readers will not need it day to day.
How most readers use them
A common rhythm: open Cluster Buys first to see if anything coordinated is happening, then check Big Buys for the largest single trades, then scroll All Trades for general awareness. Sales come into play when you already own a position and want to monitor for distribution.
