What is STRIKE? The Exact Moment Retail Investors Can Trade
STRIKE fires the instant a newly listed stock's opening auction completes and retail orders can execute. This is the moment the stock has a public price.
What is BellipoBellipo is the first platform built entirely around the IPO lifecycle — from S-1 filing to first trade, lockup expiration, and beyond. We deliver real-time pipeline tracking, AI-powered S-1 briefs, and proprietary demand scoring, plus precision alerts: PING fires when pricing becomes official — typically the evening before trading, occasionally the morning of, always before the open — carrying the final offer price. STRIKE fires the instant the first trade prints. Retail investors get to prepare for IPO day with the same intelligence institutions take for granted.
Learn moreThe Problem STRIKE Solves
When an IPO opens for trading, there's a window where only the designated market maker and institutional participants are active — the opening auction. Retail investors can place orders, but those orders don't execute until the auction completes and continuous trading begins. STRIKE marks that exact transition.
How STRIKE Works
Bellipo monitors the exchange feed for the first continuous trade after the opening auction. The moment it detects a completed auction and an executable retail price, STRIKE fires. No delay. No 5-minute lag. The instant retail can trade, you know.

The 3.5-Hour Gap
On average, IPOs take 3.5 hours after market open to begin continuous trading. That means if you set a market-open alarm for 9:30 a.m., you're sitting idle until 1:00 p.m. on average. STRIKE eliminates the guesswork — you get one alert when your order can actually fill.
STRIKE in Practice
When Figma went public, continuous trading started at approximately 1:59 p.m. ET. A STRIKE alert would have fired at that exact moment. No refreshing. No guessing. One notification — the stock is now tradeable.
