  "account": "Follow the Hill is introducing an automated trading approach to congressional stock trading, merging public transaction disclosures with systematic trade selection, position sizing, and exits. The platform is aimed at investors interested in congressional trading who seek a defined process beyond manual monitoring of filings and stock selection.\n\nCongressional financial disclosures mandate that securities transactions exceeding $1,000 be reported within 30 days of the filer becoming aware of the transaction or 45 days after it occurs. Follow the Hill utilizes this public reporting process as its foundation. The platform evaluates disclosed stocks against predefined criteria, with qualifying opportunities subject to position-sizing and exit rules. Should no opportunities qualify, the strategy can hold cash.\n\nThis structure alleviates several tasks an investor would typically perform separately: reviewing disclosures, determining whether a stock fits a strategy, deciding its allocation, and maintaining a plan for the position post-purchase. Moreover, the platform's focus on exits is particularly pertinent to investors following publicly reported transactions. While a purchase disclosure can identify a stock of interest, an outside investor still requires a personalized selling decision based on their entry point. Follow the Hill integrates this decision into its trading framework prior to a position's opening.\n\nThe service also separates automated execution from custody, ensuring that funds remain in customers' own brokerage accounts. Customers have the option to disengage from the strategy if desired. Prospective customers initiate the process through the company's application process, tailored to busy professionals, business owners, retirees, and active traders. Pricing is clarified before customers commit. The company also offers a 12-month refund policy for subscriptions.\n\nBy consolidating selection, allocation, and exit decisions into one process, Follow the Hill seeks to render congressional disclosure data actionable without necessitating that customers manage every trading decision independently.",
