Totally get where you’re coming from—I’ve been there myself. NFP can be brutal if you're not mentally and technically prepared. What really helped me was doing some stress testing on my strategy beforehand. I started backtesting with extreme market scenarios to see how my setups would behave during high volatility like NFP. That gave me more confidence and helped me stay calm during drawdowns. Also, I now reduce my lot size during NFP releases—less exposure, less panic. Hang in there, man, it gets better with the right preparation.
