The IPO Calendar panel displays initial public offering of stocks on different exchanges in an easy-to-use functional calendar. In order to start using the IPO calendar, select it from the Tools drop-down list located in the terminal main menu. The general view of this panel is as follows:
Upper left part of the panel offers “Upcoming” and “Listed” tabs, which allow switching the calendar display mode:
Upcoming – displays companies whose listing date is yet to come (awaiting IPO);
Listed – displays companies the listing date of which has already come (IPO has passed).
The panel itself includes three main parts:
Filter section – contains a calendar for selecting the date/week for which the information on IPOs will be shown;
Exchange section – filter control for selecting the exchanges on which the IPO is listed;
Table section – displays the main part of information (described below).
Filter section contains a calendar that allows switching between displaying information for a specific day or week, to do this, use the special switcher located above the calendar:
The Exchange section allows displaying information for the required exchanges only, simply check those of interest and the table will be refreshed:
When the Day mode is selected for the calendar, the table contains the following informational columns (to enable/disable column displaying, right-click the table header):

If the Week mode is selected, the entire calendar week will be highlighted when clicking a certain day in the calendar. Please note that the regional format (Mon-Sun or Sun-Sat) is also considered here.
In this mode, the table is divided into two blocks. The first block displays each day of the selected week with a catalogue of IPOs that will be listed on that day. The second, lower block, displays columns with information as for the normal Day mode:
This tab contains the same controls as for the Upcoming tab (described above), however, the contents of the table differ, since it displays IPOs that have already been listed, that is, only past dates can be selected. Double-clicking on one of the Instruments will open its chart.
