This concept raises multiple questions and possible outcomes that both investors and short-term traders need to be aware of. In this video we discuss the purpose of the IPO share lockup period and also provide you with multiple different trade ideas to watch for on the lockup expiration date.

How can we take advantage of this possible sell imbalance? In this video we also show you multiple different examples of trades that provided excellent risk/reward and an easy structure for traders of any experience level!
