eh you can do a lot with erroneous trading patterns for weeks/months before your big trades
but if you work for the same company its best not to do the trade at all
instead of looking for an 8% move, just get the 2% move in the ETF that the company is part of. there is a prohibition that extends to derived or linked securities, but this is much harder to detect and prove. its just ammunition without a weapon
but really, better to play the sector as a whole. if I worked for Expedia and saw what affected their earnings, I would trade Priceline expecting exposure to the same trends.
