Instead, I placed a limit order right in the middle of the gap at $28.50, hoping for an intraday pullback (I did not want to miss the opportunity while I was away from the stock market). I also reduced my initial target number of shares to accommodate the potential stop loss below the low of the bullish engulfing pattern. The resumption of the tariff crash sent FLEX right through my limit order and a 1.0% loss on the day for FLEX.
