You could put in a series of limit orders with increments up to the maximum price per share you are willing to pay. If you end up with more shares than you want you will need to be nimble to unload the excess before the price moves against you. Ideally, you would be able to sell any unwanted shares as the stock price continues to rise. You may not be able to trade the shares online at first--some brokerages do not update the symbol lookup tables immediately after every IPO. You would then need to use a "live" broker to execute your trades. Maybe this would not be such a bad idea given the expected volatility.
