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 Image
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 Image
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 ImageImage
Example : #ITC
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 Image
#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 ImageImage
Parameters checked : #MINDAIND
#kotakbank : Not valid Box , as stock is not breaking the 52 week high only the range breakout is happening

Also Restrict yourself to growth stocks that is midcaps and smallcaps

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.

How to invest in US Stock Market from India

In this thread we will cover taxes , brokerage and reasons to invest in US markets 🧵
Why to Invest in US market :
Reason #1: Global Giants
9 out of the world’s top 10 companies by market cap are US-based — Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Google.
If you use their products daily, why not own their stocks too? Image
Reason #2: Rupee Depreciation
Over the last 15 years, INR has consistently fallen against USD.
That means Indian investors earn an extra 2–3% return on average vs Americans in US markets. Image

Most traders ignore one of the most powerful indicators: Relative Strength (RS).

It helps you spot outperforming stocks vs. benchmarks like Nifty, Bank Nifty, Midcap, etc.
Here’s a full breakdown 🧵 Image
📌 What is Relative Strength?
It compares a stock’s performance against an index.
● If Stock A gives +30% in 3 months
● Nifty gives +10% in same period
➡️ Stock A is an outperformer.

Even if both fall, the one that falls less is still stronger Image
Why it matters?
● Helps you pick leaders, not laggards.

● Outperformers tend to stay strong longer.

● Perfect for swing & positional trading.
