I closed all the short SP and long gold for a loss, got out quickly. seems like the previous approach I used earlier didn't work. Thanks Alex for the note.

will add to long gold tomorrow (bcos better entry tomorrow), and maybe add to sp short.

Probably tomorrow, up gap on NFP could be a good short ST. IMHO, and I could be wrong.
