NFP and the lure of 'just one more'

I've been trading for over a decade, and you'd think the lesson would stick. But a couple of months back, during an NFP release, I made a classic mistake. Had a good scalping win on $EURUSD in the initial volatility, took profit, and should have walked away. But the market kept dancing, and I thought I saw 'just one more' perfect setup forming. Decided to re-enter, thinking I was smarter than the noise, only to get chopped up and give back half my earlier gains. It's that overconfidence after a quick win that still bites me sometimes, especially around these high-impact news events.

It's always the 'just one more' that gets you, especially around NFP. Did you have a specific risk management plan in place for high-impact news, or was it more about a general discipline lapse?
