How does InsiderBeacon score an insider buy?
Out of 100, from who bought, how much their stake grew, the size of the trade, whether other insiders bought within ten days, where the price sat in its 52-week range, and whether it was a first or a routine buy. The score is fixed when the filing arrives. The formula and the research behind it.
