I remember reading they don't disclose the exact date and hour of the purchase and sale, so intra-day trading or tight timeline trades are impossible to measure, is that correct?

If I remember right you can also disclose days, weeks or months after the actual transaction took place and just pay some miniscule fine as a slap on the wrists.

Looks like trade reports only include the date not the time: https://www.congressstock.com/trades

I asked Claude:

Does this article take into account intraday trading or trading where the purchase and the sale occurs within 45 days?

And:

"Is there a way someone could have generated a positive revenue even though they reported as negative?"

Conclusion -- their numbers could still allow someone to make positive return even though they report mostly negative alpha

Gosh I love AI for analyzing lousy reports and articles that are inaccurate.
