In the late 1950s, Nicolas Darvas was one half of the highest paid dance team in show business.

1/n
It was on a two-year tour of the world that he initially developed his ‘Darvas Box’ method of screening stocks – a method of picking stocks based on the stock’s price and volume .
Trading Style :
TREND FOLLOWING MOMENTUM TRADING
📌Darvas was tracking stocks only making new high
Trading stocks breaking 2-3 year high.
📌But 52-week high is mostly tracked for this theory
📌Emphasized very much on Huge volume Breakouts
A typical Darvas Box Chart : 3/n
Rules to Follow :
Stock Price Should be within 15 to 20 % of Highs
Overall trend of the stocks should be up and greater than 200 ema
Preferably 100% up then the 52 week low
Look for Industry Leaders , with High Growth
4/n
How to Trade ?
📌Whenever the stocks breaks the 52 week Keep them on watchlist
📌Look that The next 3 candles should not break the 52 week high and fall below
📌The high point will be called as CEILING
📌Look for Volume Breakout too or Breakout should be Above Average volume 4/n
Floor: Stoploss
📌Floor is basically the a small reversal point or bottom the stock is trying to make.
📌Floor is generally the stoploss of the trade
📌The bigger the range the bigger the stoploss and higher the Risk 5/n
Example : #GREENPANEL
After 52 week High , mark the Top: Ceiling
After a small Reversal mark the Bottom : Floor
Enter As soon as the 52 week high breaks with stoploss 6/n
#RADICO#MANINFRA
✅Enter When 52 Week High is Broken , and Keep Adding as and when the box formation takes place .
🛑Keep Shifting the stoploss to next Box lows 7/n
PIC 1:
Entry on failed Breakout but Stops Dont hit as Stoploss is below the Box
PIC 2 : You should only draw boxes when the next 3 candles of 52 week high dont break the high.

Trailing Stop and Pyramiding 1. Buy if price closes above Ceiling and put a stop-loss below Floor price. 2. Add Small Qtys as breakout happens and one can pyramid in winners and further breakouts 3. Ride the winner till you get Stopped 4. Reenter if stock regains 52 wk high 13/
3. After the breakout of the box, if price moves higher and forms another box, then trail stop-loss to the Floor price of the newly formed box and keep trailing on each subsequent floor.
4.Exit the trade when price goes below the floor price of the recent box. @AmitabhJha3 14/n

To make money in stocks, you must protect the money you have. Live to invest another day by following this simple rule:
Always sell a stock if it falls 7–8% below what you paid for it. This basic principle helps you cap your potential downside.
1/n
And it is the simplest way to make sure you never let a small loss become a BIG one.
Why 7–8%?
The 7–8% sell rule is based on an ongoing study covering over 100 years of stock market history. Even the best stocks will sometimes breat out and then drop slightly below their buy
2
When they do, they typically do not fall more than 8% below it. If your stock does decline more than 8%, it usually means something is wrong with your chosen entry point, the company, its industry, the general market, or all of the above.
