Haven't shown up for a long time, was worried everyone might be concerned, so just checking in to let you know I'm safe.

Recently, I've been focusing my energy on generating cash flow outside the market. Why? Because I increased my positions and I'm still holding longs. Right now, my plan is to close these longs at breakeven when the market rebounds—I definitely don't want to carry them through a bear market. If the market keeps dropping, the risk of liquidation is just too high. So I have to figure out ways to make money and deposit more into my account—using cash flow to support my margin is the only solid approach.

Everyone can see the current state of the market. Will there be a rebound? How high will it go if it comes? These are all unknowns. All I can do is prepare for the worst: if there's a crash, at least I'll have ammo to stay afloat; if there's a rebound, then I can take the opportunity to tidy up my positions.

To be honest, I haven't been watching the charts as much lately because I've been busy making "life-saving money" elsewhere. But risk control is something I can't slack off on. Gotta make money, but also gotta protect myself. If you're also holding positions, remember not to fight the market head-on—having cash flow reserves is really important.
