The STOCK Act, the 2012 law behind these filings, requires senators and representatives to report their securities transactions within 45 days. Coldpine parses every one of those filings. Ranked below are the ten most active traders in Congress by number of disclosed transactions. These are behavioral rankings, how often a member or their household trades, not a measure of how well those trades performed.
Every figure comes from public STOCK Act filings, parsed and counted by Coldpine. “Trades” is the number of disclosed transactions. “Volume” sums the midpoint of each trade’s disclosed dollar range (filings report ranges, not exact amounts; see how big Congress’s trades are for the count in each range). A filing lists a member’s own transactions alongside those of a spouse or dependent child, and all of them count here. Activity is not performance: a high trade count says nothing about returns.

What the data shows
Rohit Khanna sits at the top of the list, with 13,076 disclosed transactions. The name they trade most is XSP. The spread between the most and least active members on this list is wide, which is the real story: Congressional trading is concentrated in a handful of frequent traders, while most members trade rarely or not at all.
Volume of trading does not tell you whether a member is good at it. For that, Coldpine prices each disclosed purchase against the S&P 500 over the 90 days that follow. That is a different question, answered in does Congress beat the stock market. How the count divides between purchases and sales is in is Congress buying or selling stocks. How many members report a trade at all in a year is in how many members of Congress trade stocks.
