HedgeFollow is a web research platform for tracking hedge funds, institutional holders, insider trades, ETF activity, ownership flows, stock pages, fund pages, and portfolio-builder workflows from SEC filings. It is strongest when investors want a fast, visual way to follow 13F, 13D/13G, and Form 4 activity without paying for a larger terminal. The major caveat is timing: 13F holdings are structurally delayed by the SEC reporting process, so the data is useful for research and pattern recognition, not live portfolio mirroring.

It is built for chart-based workflows across stocks, ETFs, futures, commodities, currencies, and crypto.

SecForm4.com is a U.S. insider trading and ownership monitoring site for Form 4, Forms 3 and 5, 13D/13G, and 13F filings from EDGAR. It fits users searching for SecForm4, insider trading trackers, Form 4 activity, and 13D/13G monitoring, with free public access and advanced ownership views for power users. The right use case is monitoring SEC filing signals before checking transaction context, issuer fundamentals, and current ownership. It is not a broker, global insider-disclosure database, portfolio tracker, public API, or standalone buy/sell signal.

Starred Tools
These are my top picks. Tools I've tested thoroughly and found to be excellent. They do their job really well, and I use them a lot. If you're not already familiar with them, I highly recommend checking them out.
Tested Tools
These are tools I've tried and found to be solid, but not standout. Think of them as passing an initial quality screen: worth exploring, though not all will be exceptional.
Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
