Insider type uses each insider’s open-market trades in that stock over the past three calendar years: routine if they traded in the same month every year, opportunistic if they traded every year with no such pattern (Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski, Journal of Finance, 2012, found opportunistic trades predicted returns; routine ones did not).
