Is Form 144 filed before or after the sale?
Before. Rule 144 requires the notice to be filed concurrently with placing the sell order. The sale itself can happen any time within 90 days of the notice.
Form 144 notices show insider sales before they happen. Every proposed-sale filing since 2022, parsed into structured JSON and updated daily.
Rule 144 governs how affiliates sell restricted or control stock. Before an affiliate sells more than 5,000 shares or $50,000 worth of stock in any three-month period, they must file a notice of proposed sale on Form 144.
The timing is what makes the form valuable. The notice is filed when the sell order is placed, not after the trade settles. You are reading intent, days or weeks before the execution shows up on a Form 4.
Since April 2023 the SEC requires Form 144 to be filed electronically on EDGAR, which is why a clean machine-readable history starts in that window. We parse every notice: filer, relationship to the issuer, shares proposed, approximate value, and the broker expected to handle the sale.
Form 4 confirms a sale within two days of execution. Form 144 announces it before the order goes in. For selling-pressure signals, that gap is the whole point.
Each notice carries the shares proposed and the approximate market value, so a 10,000-share notice and a 2-million-share notice never read as the same event.
Officer, director, or 10% holder: the relationship field tells you whose intent you are reading.
The SEC moved Form 144 to EDGAR in April 2023. Our history starts with the electronic era, so coverage is systematic rather than sampled.

Form 144 was paper-filed for decades. The SEC mandated electronic filing on EDGAR in April 2023, and our coverage begins with the electronic record.
