Black-Out PeriodYou'll need to input the black-out logic of the company you are analyzing manually. For example Liveperson, Insider trading and disclosure policy can be found here:
www.sec.gov
Under paragraph nr 12 we find:
"12.Black-Out Period. During the end of each fiscal quarter and until public disclosure of the financial results for that quarter, persons subject to this Policy may possess material nonpublic information about the expected financial results for the quarter. Even if you don’t actually possess any such information, any trades by you during that period may give the appearance that you are trading on inside information. Accordingly, the Company has designated a regularly-scheduled quarterly “black-out period” on trading beginning with the close of business on the 15th day of the last month of each fiscal quarter (or the close of business on the last day on which The Nasdaq Global Select Market is open prior to such 15th day, in the event that the Nasdaq Global Select Market is not open on such 15th day) and ending at the close of the second full trading day (day on which the relevant stock market is open) after public disclosure of the quarter’s financial results."
So we put in the values "15" and "2"
Note that other rules than those specific dates around earnings applies, and not all employees are subject to the same rules.
