Trading a New Listing

What this video covers

• The exact release event for an IPO security: the listing exchange's dissemination of an opening transaction, not a quote, indication, or rival market print
• Why executing or causing an off-exchange transaction includes routing an order to another firm, even when that firm prints the trade
• The separate pre-trading prohibition on accepting a market order to purchase new issue shares in the secondary market
• Why accepting a limit order to buy or a market order to sell before secondary trading begins is not covered by that specific prohibition
• The precise moment the violation occurs: acceptance of the market order, not its later execution
• The difference between the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) exchange registration requirement and the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) registration provision
• How registration, reporting, and the limited-volume exemption apply to an exchange, including the requirement for an application and the Commission's opinion
