The Distributed is a free financial data site. It publishes what the public record says about markets, from insider trades, politicians’ disclosed trades and the holdings of large funds to short positions, macro readings and what Reddit’s finance communities are talking about. Every number names its source and the date it was read, and none of the basics sit behind a paywall.

How do I cite a number from this site?
One line, the same on every table and figure. The licensor and the date are already in it.
Source: The Distributed, from {licensor}, as of {date}
Insider trading
Source: The Distributed, from SEC EDGAR Form 4 filings, as of 13 November 2026 thedistributed.co/data/insider-trading
Politicians
Source: The Distributed, from the US House periodic transaction reports, as of 12 November 2026 thedistributed.co/data/politicians
Link the page you took the number from rather than the home page: the figure on it changes with each filing, and the address is what lets a reader check the date. In print, the date matters more than the link.
What can be reused, and on what terms?
The tables under /data, with the caption above. The terms belong to whoever holds the record, so they differ by table.
What each table comes from and the terms for reusing it
Federal statistical series through FRED (the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the BEA, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury)
The producer’s. Name the producer alongside us.
Prices and charts
TradingView charts; end-of-day closes licensed from Finazon
Not for reuse. The charts are embedded under TradingView’s display licence, and the closes are licensed to us for display only.
Where a licence lets a number be shown but not passed on, the page says so, and that note travels with the table. This product uses the FRED® API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
What is the logo?
The lockup reads THE DISTRIBUTED, with the end of the word dissolving. Use it whole: don’t sharpen the dissolve, recolour it, stretch it or set it over a busy photo. Leave clear space around it at least the height of the D.
Every Market. Every Voice. One Signal, Distributed.
What should I keep when I reuse a chart?
Charts and cards carry the wordmark and a source line. Share and republish them as they are, with both still on. Please don’t restyle our charts as your own.
