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.

Both daily and 30 minute resolution data are included.
By next week the high resolution version of the custom breadth data will be ready.
Overall Look And Feel
User feedbacks told us that it is getting difficult to navigate through the data bank as more files are added.
We are testing with this new look having separate tab sheet for each data format.
It should reduce the time spent on browsing thru the files.

First Bitcoin Bank Run (Sort Of)
2014 Feb 7 Fri 14:02:37 | by
First real major crisis in Bitcoin world finally emerged.
From the biggest Bitcoin exchange:
If it is not a bank run, I don’t know what is.
The interesting question would be the response of Bitcoin prices and eventual resolution of this event.
As I mentioned before Bitcoin has to go through various crisis before it can mature into something that the public will accept (i.e. going mainstream).
This is one of the many tests it has to face.
Real-Time Chat Room and Price Levels Tool Backend Testing Over The Weekend
2014 Feb 7 Fri 12:45:45 | by
We are going to conduct some stress testing on our real-time messaging capability over the weekend.
It may affect the real-time chat room and our real-time price levels tool from functioning properly.
If our conjecture is correct, we will be moving to a new backend to further improve our real-time messaging capability. This can open more options for me in terms of implementing the real-time bias reporting tool.
Exciting time!
Manuel Forjaz: 15 Steps To Become A Millionaire

Good advices for running your own business throughout the video. Many newcomers in trading do not realize trading is very much a business you are operating. You have to learn, adapt and change yourself to survive in the ever changing world of financial markets.
