House Trades: Per-Ticker Flow From the Lower Chamber

Why House Flow Belongs in Its Own View

Representatives serve 2-year terms in much smaller geographic districts than senators, which tends to make their committee work more specialized and their trading flows more industry-correlated. House committees (Energy & Commerce, Financial Services, Ways & Means) have distinct jurisdictional domains vs Senate equivalents. Segmenting House flow from Senate flow isolates that context and avoids the false-comfort of a blended "Congress" number.

What the House Trades Card Shows

The House Trades card lists every STOCK Act disclosure for the viewed ticker by House members and senior staff: representative name, party / state / district, committee assignments with a jurisdictional flag when the ticker falls under a committee the member serves on, trade date / filing date, direction (buy / sell / option write), size range. A 12-month roll-up shows net buys vs sells by party and committee, with a sparkline of net flow over time so inflection points are visible.

Reading the Flow

Two patterns tend to recur. First, bipartisan cluster flow — when both Republicans and Democrats on a committee net-buy the same name inside a two-quarter window, the underlying thesis is usually policy-insulated (a business not dependent on the electoral cycle); that's usually bullish. Second, partisan one-sided flow from Energy & Commerce or Financial Services members often precedes committee markups of sector-specific legislation by one to two quarters — usable as a lead indicator of legislative risk / tailwind even if the positions themselves are too small to front-run.

Where It Fits

Pair with Senate Trades for the upper-chamber view, Congress Summary for the unified roll-up, and Congress Diff for quarter-over-quarter aggregate change. Add Lobbying for the spend-side policy signal.
