God-tier strategy based on SEC Insider trading data

I’m sure there are so many people that trade using SEC insider trading data and I was wondering if some of y’all are open to sharing strategies you have carved out using insider trading.

The BEST strategy I have come up with so far when trading stocks is ranking insider trades based on:

1. ⁠Streak length: Must be >= 2 days of insider buying.

2. ⁠Does the number of shares bought go up the following day of buying? (Best if it does)

3. ⁠Does the insider purchase price go up the following day of buying? (Best if it does)

4. ⁠Is the total # of shares bought > the stocks 3 month volume average? (Best if it is)

5. ⁠is the insider purchase price higher > stocks previous closing price? (Best if it is)

I’m mainly trading stock but have also considered trying it out with options as well…if you use insider data to trade options I would really love to pick your brain a bit.

Hope to hear what y’all do with insider trading data.
