My employer has 105b plans available if you want to trade outside of trading windows. I think we should have something like that for politicians. Insider trading would be less of an issue if politicians and spouses were required to publicly announce trades 30-90 days before they were made. I don't think that would impact long term trading strategies, and I think it's reasonable to ask politicians to give up short term trading.

I know that in the front office in certain investment banks, you're not allowed to trade single stocks for your own account. You can only trade funds. I think a similar rule here might work.
