Stay Ahead of the Market: Mastering the IPO Calendar on TradingView

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) can be some of the most exciting events in the market, offering high volatility and significant opportunities. However, navigating them requires careful planning and research. In a recent tutorial, TradingView walked users through their IPO Calendar, a powerful tool designed to help traders monitor and strategize for upcoming public listings.

Here is a breakdown of how to use this feature to enhance your trading preparation.

What is an IPO?

An IPO, or Initial Public Offering, occurs when a private company sells shares to the public for the first time. Historically, major listings like Amazon, Facebook, and Saudi Aramco have generated massive interest. While these events can be lucrative, they also carry risk, making it essential to have a reliable way to track them.

Navigating the IPO Calendar

Finding the calendar is simple:

Go to the Products menu on TradingView.
Select Calendars.
Choose IPO from the options on the right-hand side (alongside Economic, Earnings, and Dividends calendars).

The interface is intuitive. You can toggle between different dates to see what companies are listing on specific days. It also allows you to filter by country; for example, you can choose to see only listings from the USA, UK, or Eurozone by adjusting the flag settings.

Key Features for Research

The IPO Calendar isn’t just a list of dates; it’s a research hub.

Detailed Metrics: For upcoming listings, you can see the offer price range, the total shares available, and the total amount being raised.
Company Deep Dives: Clicking on a ticker symbol (e.g., CDNL) opens a detailed overview. This includes a countdown to the IPO, company descriptions, related stocks, and FAQs.
News & Sentiment: You can access news stories related to the stock and see community discussions in the “Minds” section.
Historical Analysis: You can look back at past dates to analyze how previous IPOs performed. The video demonstrates this by looking at a listing from January 2024 to see its post-IPO price action.

Due Diligence Made Easy

For deeper analysis, the tool provides direct access to financial documents. By selecting a company, you can find SEC filings, income statements, and balance sheets. This is crucial for fundamental analysis, helping you decide if a company is a solid investment before you trade.

Pro Tips for Trading IPOs

Watch the Lock-up Period: Institutional investors are often restricted from selling shares for 90 to 180 days after an IPO. The tutorial advises monitoring these dates, as selling pressure often increases when this lock-up period expires.
Use Alerts: Since you often cannot buy at the initial offering price (which is reserved for institutions), use TradingView’s Alerts tool. Set a price alert for when the stock starts trading publicly so you can execute your entry strategy at the right moment.

By centralizing data and offering robust research tools, the IPO Calendar on TradingView allows you to approach these high-stakes events with a clear plan rather than just following the hype.
