        is the only signal where the insider spent their own money; sales tagged

        plan_10b5_1 were pre-scheduled and carry little signal.


        Use ticker=''latest'' for the market-wide feed of the biggest open-market insider

        BUYS, or ticker=''clusters'' for companies where several insiders bought at once

        (the cluster-buy signal), newest and largest first.'
