SEC 13F Whale Tracker

Track top fund managers' holdings via SEC 13F filings. Fetches quarterly filings from SEC EDGAR, compares quarter-over-quarter changes (new positions, increases, decreases, exits), and generates analysis reports with cross-fund convergence insights. Use when user asks about hedge fund holdings, 13F filings, whale tracking, what Buffett/Dalio/Ackman/Soros/Cathie Wood are buying or selling, or institutional investor portfolio changes.

Track what Buffett, Dalio, Ackman, Soros, and Cathie Wood are buying and selling via SEC EDGAR 13F filings.

Technical Notes

• SEC EDGAR API is free and public; requires User-Agent header
• Rate limited to <10 req/sec (script adds 150ms delay between requests)
• Parses 13F information table XML, handles namespace detection
• Merges holdings by CUSIP, separates put/call options
• Caches data in data/ to avoid re-fetching known quarters
• No proxy needed for SEC EDGAR (script clears proxy env vars)
