What is OQRO? Insider trades, Congress trades, fund moves and federal contracts in plain words

Information as of 9 October 2026. The counts below are read from OQRO's database and kept current on the coverage page.

What OQRO is

OQRO (oqro.io) is a website that reads the public disclosures the law requires and explains each one in a single plain sentence, next to a link to the official document. It is a reader and organiser of public records. It is not a broker, an adviser or a source of tips, and it does not predict anything.

What it covers

• Insider trades. Purchases and sales by executives, directors and 10% owners of US-listed companies, from SEC Forms 4 and 144, with planned (Rule 10b5-1) sales kept apart from the unplanned ones. See how to read a Form 4.
• Congress trades. Stock trades disclosed by members of the House and Senate under the STOCK Act, with the official amount range kept as a range and the delay between trade and report shown. See the 45-day rule.
• Fund moves. What investment managers reported owning in their quarterly SEC Form 13F, and what changed since the previous quarter. See what a 13F shows.
• 5% stakes. New stakes above 5% from Schedules 13D and 13G.
• Federal contracts and lobbying. Awards from USAspending.gov with the amount obligated kept apart from the ceiling, plus lobbying reports. See contract ceiling versus obligated.

Each company with a US listing has its own page at oqro.io/stocks/TICKER that gathers all of this in one place. The coverage page gives the current number of companies, people, funds and records.

Where the data comes from

Only public records: SEC EDGAR, the House Clerk, the Senate eFD system, USAspending.gov, the Senate lobbying database. Every record on OQRO links to the original document, and the original is the authority if anything differs. Daily prices and a few market statistics come from market-data providers named in the methodology.

How fresh it is

SEC insider filings and 5% stakes are read about every five minutes on US business days, so a Form 4 normally appears minutes after the SEC accepts it. Congress reports are checked hourly during US market hours, but a Congress trade can never be newer than its filing, which the law allows up to 45 days after the trade. Fund holdings follow the quarterly 13F calendar. The status page shows the measured delay of each source.

What it costs

OQRO Pro is a paid subscription: $9.99 a month, or $79.99 a year. There is no free plan and no trial. The guides, the blog and the coverage and status pages are free to read.

What it is not

• It does not tell anyone what to buy or sell, and it does not predict prices.
• It shows what was filed, not why. A purchase by an insider is a fact on the record, not a prediction.
• It covers US-listed securities only, and it does not carry options flow, dark pool data or price targets.
• It is a younger product than the ones it is compared with. For a dated side-by-side with other trackers, see OQRO and other public-disclosure trackers OQRO versus Quiver Quantitative, versus Unusual Whales, versus OpenInsider and versus WhaleWisdom.

Who it is for

Readers who want to check what insiders, funds and members of Congress have filed, without reading the forms themselves: journalists, researchers, individual investors who do their own reading, and people building tools on top of public records. Each page gives the plain line first and the official document next to it, so the sentence can always be checked against its source. Someone who only wants the raw filings can use the free official sites, the SEC's EDGAR, the House Clerk and the Senate eFD system, which the guides explain form by form.

For developers and AI assistants

Subscribers get an MCP server, so an AI assistant can query insider trades, Congress trades, fund moves and contracts directly, and a read-only REST API. Both return the same records as the site, each with its source link. The site also publishes llms.txt and the full text of every guide in llms-full.txt.
