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
5/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
6/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
7/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
8/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.

9/n

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.
