4,411 of 24,693 transactions (17.9%) were reported more than 45 days after the trade. The STOCK Act asks for a report within 30 days of the member learning of a trade and no later than 45 days after the trade.

A gap over 45 days is a measured fact about two dates, not a finding about the filer.

Data retrieved Oct 21, 2026. Days are counted from the trade date to the first report as filed. 353 of 25,046 transactions have no computed gap and are not in the chart. Bar height is the number of transactions in each range; the ranges are not equal in width.
