stupid play saw lots of volume, huge gap up and flag forming pre-market. I put a limit order in 2 minutes before the market opened to try and purchase a few shares right at the open at the base of the flag. I intended to put a stop a couple cents under. 20 seconds before the open the pre-market price started tanking very fast and I tried to cancel my order but my order went through and decided to hold for a bit to see if the price would rebound. This trade ruined my entire day and psyched me out for the whole day. I had a great trading day but felt like I was battling to recover this huge opening loss. At the end of the day I only made $37 because of this screw up in the morning
