What is Washington Trades
Washington Trades is a trading system that uses public disclosures of transactions made by U.S. Congress members. Under U.S. law, members of Congress are required to report their investment transactions. This information is made publicly available and can be analyzed by investors.
Various studies have shown that U.S. Congress members have systematically outperformed the market during certain periods. Washington Trades utilizes this public information and translates it into a systematic trading strategy.
The system tracks purchase and sale disclosures and uses them to determine which positions to take.
How the system works
When new transactions by Congress members are made public, they are analyzed within the Washington Trades model. Based on this data, the system can open new positions or close existing ones.
