Been trading XAU/USD for 10 months—mostly 20-pip scalps, until last Monday’s FOMC minutes turned my longs into confetti. Down 8% in 45 minutes, kept staring at the chart like it owed me money. Needed to GTFO before I YOLO’d the rest.
Smashed a Tim Tam, opened AussiePlay Casino—100% Australia platform, 2020 launch, 1100+ games, Neosurf or BTC, no FX fees. Dropped $30 on Mega Moolah at midnight. Hit minor jackpot on spin 15, cashed $720 in 10 minutes. Withdrawal hit my Westpac before the kettle boiled.
Paid the loss, bought a new kettle, slept 7 hours. Tuesday I dropped lot size 40% and closed the week +3%. Sometimes an Australia casino jackpot is the best stop-loss. Anyone else use local pokies to dodge a trading meltdown?
