It looks pretty straightforward. You were massively overleveraged, didn't fully hedge, and got fried by spread widening around a major news event.
If your close orders has gotten processed a little faster, that might have saved you. Of course, waiting until the spread is already widening around a news event is not the time to try an emergency close and expect the same reaction time from your platform as in calm markets.
