Stocks with congressional trading data

Screening Filters

1. congress_transactions: ['sale', 'purchase']
   • Purpose:
     To return only those stocks where members of the U.S. Congress have recently reported trading activity, whether they bought (purchase) or sold (sale) the stock.
   • Rationale:
     Your request is: “Please provide a list of stocks with recent congressional trading data.”
     The most direct and relevant way to satisfy this is to:
     • Require that the stock has any recorded congressional transaction (instead of none).
     • Include both directions of activity:
       • purchase: indicates members of Congress have been buying the stock.
       • sale: indicates members of Congress have been selling the stock.
         By including both, we avoid missing stocks where Congress is active but only on one side (e.g., only selling). This gives you a more complete list of “stocks with recent congressional trading data,” without biasing toward just bullish or just bearish activity.

Why Results Match:

• The core of your request is “show me stocks where Congress has traded recently.”
• The congress_transactions filter:
  • Explicitly restricts results to stocks with reported congressional trades.
  • Captures all relevant activity types (buys and sells), which is exactly what “trading data” implies.
• We are not filtering by other attributes (like sector, price, market cap, or technical indicators), because your question is specifically about recent congressional activity, not about performance or fundamentals.

If you later want to narrow this down (e.g., only large purchases, only specific politicians, or a specific time window), those would require more specialized filters; but for your current request, this congress_transactions: ['sale', 'purchase'] filter is the most direct and appropriate way to find the stocks you’re asking about.
