Why IPOs Matter and How to Trade

Initial public offerings (IPOs) are one of the most exciting events in the stock market. A new listing can create a lot of buzz, attract institutional money, and create powerful trading opportunities. But IPOs are also tricky. They lack long-term chart history and often experience rapid volatility in the first year.

The IPO levels are some of: The most important price indicator psychologically In the market. Institutions, underwriters, and retail traders alike pay close attention to whether new stocks are maintaining their IPO price or breaking new highs. These new filters and scans provide a structured way to track activity across markets.

To help you track and trade recent IPOs more effectively, we recently launched a series of updates to SwingTradeBot’s suite of IPO tools. (All IPO pricing statements relate to the U.S. market only.… IPO prices in Canada and Australia are not accessible.)

IPO Pricing: An Important Anchor

Higher than IPO price: Institutions that bought in the public offering are profiting, and new buyers can see this as a sign of strength.
Below IPO price: The same institutions may be underwater, which often creates additional selling pressure.

Because of this, IPO prices are often a powerful force. psychological anchor In my first year of stock trading. Observing how a stock moves in relation to its IPO price can give you clues as to whether demand is increasing or decreasing.

What’s new on our recent IPO page

IPO price: The original IPO price is now displayed alongside each stock. This only appears in actual IPOs. For direct listings and spin-offs, IPO prices do not exist and are also displayed on the “Recent IPOs” page. (Technically, this is the “New Listings” page.)
% of IPO price: The extent to which the stock is currently trading above or below the IPO price.
Sort by one of the above columns: Helps find outliers quickly.
Price and volume filters: The page now includes minimum price and minimum quantity filters. This will default to your preferred EOD scan settings, but can be adjusted on the page at any time.

4 New IPO Scan

To help you find unique trading setups for the new listings, we’ve added them to our IPO-Focused Scans category. These scans only apply to stocks that have IPOed within the last 12 months.

Note: I’m absolutely disgusted by the abundance of “junk” IPOs in China. (It also appears that the company is headquartered in Singapore or Taiwan.) So, we finally added a price filter. For some reason, there have been a ton of Chinese IPOs over the last few years that IPO at $4 per share and then look highly rigged. This almost always results in a chart like this:

I actually considered adding a “China” flag to these stocks and adding a scan result filter to hide it. But I think the IPO price filter will work better in the long run as long as they don’t start listing these things at higher prices. Be careful out there!
