Key Concepts

Understanding these core concepts will help you get the most out of Irora SEC:

Filing Types

• 10-K — Annual reports with comprehensive financial data, risk factors, and management discussion
• 10-Q — Quarterly reports with interim financial statements
• 8-K — Current reports for material events (earnings, acquisitions, leadership changes)
• Form 4 — Insider trading disclosures filed within 2 business days of a transaction
• 13F — Quarterly institutional investment manager holdings reports
• S-1 — Registration statements for initial public offerings
• DEF 14A — Proxy statements for shareholder meetings

Insider Trading

Company insiders (officers, directors, and 10%+ shareholders) are required to report their trades to the SEC via Form 4 filings. Irora SEC tracks these transactions, identifies cluster buying/selling activity, and computes conviction scores to help you gauge the significance of insider activity.

Congressional Trading

Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress must disclose securities transactions within 45 days. Irora SEC aggregates these disclosures and provides scorecards, reporting delay analysis, and cross-referencing with committee assignments.

Watchlists & Alerts

Watchlists let you group companies you want to monitor. Alerts notify you in real-time when specific events occur — new filings, insider trades above a threshold, or price movements for watched securities.

Irora SEC is designed for efficient keyboard-driven workflows alongside traditional mouse navigation. Here are some tips to move faster:

• Sidebar Navigation — The left sidebar provides access to all major sections: Filings, Insiders, Congress, Explore, Watchlists, Alerts, and Developer tools
• Breadcrumbs — When viewing a specific filing or company, breadcrumbs at the top help you navigate back to parent pages
• Quick Search — The search bar in the Filings page supports both keyword and natural language queries
