Every member of Congress who files trades has a profile on Ezana. You can open any profile from Inside The Capitol, and you can keep the members you care about on a watchlist so they are easy to find again.
Step-by-step
- Open Research → Inside The Capitol.
- Click a member’s name in Latest Trades, or a politician in the Top Performing Politicians card, to open their profile.
- To track them, go to the Watchlist page and create a new watchlist.
- Choose the Politician type, type the member’s full name (or pick a suggestion), and save.
- Return to that watchlist whenever you want to check on them.
What you’ll see on a profile
- Politician Info: party, chamber, state, and committees.
- Filing Statistics: average reporting time in days, total filings, and a timeliness rating (on time or late).
- Portfolio Overview and Portfolio Performance: estimated performance based on disclosed trades, plus similar traders where available.
- Top Holdings and Recent Trades: date, ticker, type, and amount range for each trade.
Things to know
- Alerts for a single politician are not currently available. Congressional trade notifications are based on tickers, not members. See Congressional Trade Alert System.
- The Politicians I’m Following card on Inside The Capitol highlights this year’s top performers.
- Performance figures are estimates built from disclosed ranges and dates, not actual fills.
Troubleshooting
- Profile says “Politician Not Found”? Open the member from the Latest Trades feed rather than typing a web address.
- Can’t find a member? Try a different spelling; some names appear differently across filings.
- Empty trade history? Some members have not filed covered transactions recently.
