What the Insider Trades Page Does

The Insider Trades page shows a paginated feed of promoter, director, and KMP buy/sell disclosures filed under SEBI Prohibition of Insider Trading (PIT) Regulations 2015 — Regulation 7(2). Every time a promoter, director, or key managerial personnel trades shares of their own company, they are legally required to disclose it to the exchange within two trading days. Finmagine captures these filings nightly and presents them in a searchable, filterable table.

The feed answers one question: are the people who know the company best buying or selling? Sustained promoter buying, especially during broader market weakness, is one of the strongest confidence signals available to retail investors.

Data source: NSE SAST/PIT filings. Updated nightly. The feed covers 254,000+ historical disclosures across all listed companies, with the ≥₹1 Cr default filter surfacing only the trades that carry meaningful intent.

Trade Type Chips

All Trades 🟢 Buys 🔴 Sells ≥ ₹1 Cr

The three trade-type chips are mutually exclusive. All Trades is selected by default. Switch to Buys to focus on conviction accumulation, or Sells to monitor distribution. The selection reloads the table immediately.

≥ ₹1 Cr Filter

Active by default. Removes trades below ₹1 crore in value — small, symbolic transactions that carry little information. With the filter on, a typical day shows ~70,000–80,000 filings. Toggle it off to see all filings including minor transactions (250,000+ records).

Tip: Keep the ≥₹1 Cr filter on for general scanning. Turn it off only when investigating a specific company where you want the complete picture including smaller incremental buys.

My Watchlist (Login Required)

Logged-in users see a ⭐ My Watchlist button on the right side of the filter row. Activating it narrows the feed to only companies in your watchlist, turning the page into a personalised insider alert system. Guests see a 🔒 lock icon that links to the login page.

Category Significance

Interpreting % Change

The % Change column shows the delta in the insider's total shareholding percentage, not the share price change. A +0.12% means the insider now holds 0.12 percentage points more of the company than before. Small percentages on large promoter stakes represent significant rupee commitments.

How to Use Insider Trades in Your Workflow

Promoter Buys as a Conviction Signal

When a promoter is buying in the open market — especially at higher prices or during a broader market correction — it signals genuine confidence in the company's near-term prospects. Filter to Buys + ≥₹1 Cr and sort by Value (largest trades first) to find the highest-conviction accumulation activity.

Reading Sells Correctly

A single insider sell is rarely a red flag — insiders sell for many personal reasons (liquidity, diversification, tax planning). Look for multiple insiders selling within the same quarter, or promoter pledging levels rising alongside sells, as a more meaningful warning signal.

Cross-Reference with Company Fundamentals

When you spot a significant promoter buy, click the SYMBOL → link to open that company's stock page. Check the Financials tab for earnings trajectory, the Scorecard for quality metrics, and the AI Quarterly Summary for management tone — insider buying is most powerful when it aligns with improving fundamentals.

Workflow: Insider Trades feed → filter Buys + ≥₹1 Cr → click SYMBOL → on high-value trades → review fundamentals on /stock/ → cross-check RS Rating on /momentum/ → confirm sector not in downtrend on /rrg/

Pagination

The table shows 50 rows per page. When there are multiple pages, Prev / Next buttons and numbered page chips appear below the table. Clicking any page button scrolls back to the top automatically. The "Showing X of Y filings" count below the table updates with each filter combination.
