How about just reporting trades within a day or two of when they occur? As opposed to reporting months after the fact? Just publicize the order flow. This way there's no weaseling out of the fact that yes you did make such and such a trade literally a day before some government announcement.

because if you have to report it ahead of time, it neutralizes any advantage you might have from the insider information.

You mean a day or two in advance? Or post trade? Post trade is not good, but pre trade should still be able to quell the insider advantage.

With today’s technology, I do not see why trades cannot be reported immediately.
