POLITICIANS · COPY-TRADE BACKTEST
If You Copied Jerry Moran,
Senator · Independent
Every position below enters at the close on the disclosure date — the first day this was public — never the underlying trade date. A politician can trade weeks before the STOCK Act filing makes it known; you couldn’t have copied the trade any sooner than that, so neither does this backtest.
See the disclosed trades this is built fromNot enough disclosed buys to backtest yet — 1 usable position found (of 6 disclosed, 5 had no usable price history). This page needs at least 3 to show a meaningful aggregate — check back as more trades are disclosed.

How to read this
- Entry is the close on (or the next trading day after) the disclosure date, never the underlying trade date — the whole point is honesty about when the public could actually act.
- Price return only — dividends are excluded on both sides (the backtest and the index), which understates total return, especially for dividend payers.
- Equal-weighted: every disclosed buy counts the same regardless of the actual dollar size of the trade or position.
- Buys only — disclosed sells are not mirrored or subtracted; this tracks "what if you bought and held," not the entity's actual net position over time.
- Past performance isn't predictive of future results. Not investment advice.
