BP, I am not sure if I want to place an order for IPO's before they begin trading. I will put alert on volume given the expected symbols. Good luck, JT

CyberX limit orders die after 3 minutes unless you ask to change the timeout setting. At best, you can only place a day limit order I believe (call the brokers for help). More to the point, I would suggest finding out when the IPO "goes" (starts trading), then wait and see how it opens. IPO trading is total insanity these days. Lots of people lose big as well as profit big. Use _extreme caution_ if you don't have much trading experience. In fact, I would stay away completely unless you know how to trade and can manage your risk well. Good luck. WB
