Nancy Pelosi Disclosure Bot: +261% Since Sep 2021, Then I Forked It
Public congressional filings become a bot in one command. The demo downloads the open dataset, shows Nancy Pelosi's disclosed trades, and runs a simulated backtest of $100,000 from September 2021. Fees are included, and each filing counts only after it became public. The screen finishes at $361,496.30, up 261.5%. Over the same days and the same dollars, the S&P 500 is up 85.7%.
That 261.5% figure is the simulated backtest labeled on screen, refreshed September 26, 2026. It is not a live account return. The fork at the end creates a paper portfolio.
