# Smart money

> The 6 trackers, what each one shows, and how to read them.

Smart money is what groups worth watching are doing: Congress, insiders, funds, influencers, government-contract winners and top traders. AlphaYou shows each one with a link to its source.

## The 6 trackers

| Tracker | What it shows | Where it comes from |
| - | - | - |
| Politicians | Congress stock trades, by member. A second view shows the executive branch | House and Senate disclosures, and executive branch disclosures |
| Insiders | Executive and holder trades | SEC insider filings |
| Funds | 13F fund managers and institutions | SEC fund filings |
| Government Contracts | Federal awards tied to stocks | USAspending |
| Influencers | Calls from top finance influencers | X and Truth Social |
| Top Trader Positioning | Live trades of top traders | Hyperliquid |

Top Trader Positioning is different from the rest. It shows on-chain positions, not filings, and those can be long or short crypto, US stocks, commodities and pre-IPO assets. See [Top traders](https://docs.alphayou.net/discover-page.md).

## How to read a tracker

* Switch between **Smart money** (who moved) and **Stocks** (what moved).
* Search, filter by source type, and set a return floor to hide weak track records.
* Every row links to the original filing or post.

## Stacks

A stack is a stock where 2 or more unrelated kinds of smart money disclosed buying within 14 days. It counts funds, insiders, politicians and influencers. It counts buys only.

Stacks are dated by when each filing went public, not when the trade happened. A politician's disclosure can arrive up to 45 days after the trade. A stack is not a recommendation.

## Things to remember

* Most filings arrive late by law. Always check the date. See [Data freshness and sources](https://docs.alphayou.net/research/data-freshness.md).
* A disclosed trade is a record, not advice.
* Free and Pro see different amounts of history and rows. See [Plans and pricing](https://docs.alphayou.net/plans.md).
