Each trade row in our database counts as one trade. When the same trade (same stock, type, date and amount) appears more than once in the database, we count it once. When our database holds the amount as a single number, we show the official amount class it belongs to. A trade without an amount is neither shown nor counted. We count from December 2015 and show filings through November 3, 2026.
A filing gives no exact amount, only a fixed official amount class. We show its upper bound, for example up to $5M; the real amount is below it.
