I've been wondering for a while why the Director Deals indicator on the Stocko report page seems often to mislead.
For example, if I look at NVIDIA (NSQ:NVDA) the Stock Report page shows a tiny thin red line only, implying that hardly any Director sales have happened. But if I then click on this and look at the deals themselves I see an ocean of Director Sales in Nvidia. The last Director purchase was in 2020.
Why is the Red/Green indicator so inacccurate? Thanks...

looks a lot, but add them up. Circa 100m as a percentage of Mkt cap is around .007% by my reckoning.
Surely the Director Sales aren't done as a proportion of market cap? To be valuable they should be as a proportion of what directors hold.
Community indicator certainly isn't done on a % of market cap!!
The tiny red sliver on the chart certainly doesn't lead one to expect $100,000,000 of Directors' sales over the last three months and $0 of Directors' purchases. So the graph is not helpful in its current form.
Hi @ doctor dave, I was just trying to make the point that the director sales were a small %age of the size of the company. Whether or not other people make different comparisons or different calculations does not really concern me. Cheers
US directors often get these shares for free, it is part of their remuneration. I don't find the sales that useful. They probably have to sell so many each year for tax reasons. On UK directors deals I have found the indicator to be fairly inaccurate and misleading.
