The Lawrence Chan Blog

I have diverse interest in many things from science and technology to martial arts and ancient health practices. Obviously, discussion of these topics should be done within my own blog as oppose to keeping them here. Hence my blog is created so that I can have a venue to express my creativity and thoughts on my other interests. For those of you who share similar interests, you can check out my site TheLawrenceChan.com

Due to the sheer volume of articles I have written about trading, many of which are trading related yet not technically in line with what DaytradingBias.com is offering, they have to be split from my blog into yet another site. Hence for my non-technical writings about trading, videos I have curated from various sources that I think are useful for traders and my reviews of trading related products, you can find them at the site Essence of Trading

The reason why I picked the Tai Chi picture above for this page is best explained by my article Tai Chi Traders in a World of Chaos at Essence of Trading.

Below are the old blog posts that were originally posted here. To avoid broken links from other sites, I have decided to keep them here.

Trading Related Multimedia Creation And Curation

2014 Mar 9 Sun 20:24:08 | by Lawrence

Some of our readers here probably noticed that we have several posts published with quotes from famous traders.

They are actually done by a close friend of mine who is fascinated by these famous traders. She likes to take on this project in creating a column for me here at DaytradingBias.com. I am not sure how it works going forward. I am leaving both the content and design aspects of her column to her discretion.

It is going to be something very different from what I do. I think it is nice to have a diversity of curation for the site though.

The new posts for her column will be published under her handle, when she finishes picking one she likes. =)

Know what you want to accomplish, how you intend to get there, and what you will do if it does (or does not) work out. Have a plan and stick with it.

That works in trading, as well as in life.

William Eckhardt on Taking Profits
One common adage…that is completely wrongheaded is: You can’t go broke taking profits. That’s precisely how many traders do go broke. While amateurs go broke by taking large losses, professionals go broke by taking small profits. – William Eckhardt

Ukraine Nudging Towards What Russia Wants

2014 Mar 6 Thu 9:02:27 | by Lawrence

I’ve read and discuss about what happens in Ukraine since last week with many parties who are directly affected by the event.

These stake holders all mentioned the same thing which I pointed out to the others – pipelines.

Specifically, the natural gas pipelines built during Soviet Union period in Ukraine are the only means for Russia to deliver their products to other countries.

Today, the news of Crimea’s intention to join Russia has surfaced,

http://news.yahoo.com/big-power-talks-ukraine-crisis-little-progress-003521587–business.html

Once southern regions of Ukraine choose to side with Russia, be that an independent state or going back to join Russia, the goal of Putin is accomplished.

The reason is that there are 2 main pipelines going through Ukraine at this point. If Russia gets to control the ones in the southern part of Ukraine, they no longer need to bargain with the other part.

Remember Ukraine is the country that has been playing with fire itself. At the discounted rate for natural gas, they still owe Russia almost $2 billion dollar worth of natural gas. Whoever in that government trying to gain power are not there to help their people. They want to replace the president in exile so that they themselves can make money like him.

Putin obviously already know all possible scenarios that will be played out. He will not get out of this event empty handed.
