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 :

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

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?
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.
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 🧵
📌 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
Why it matters?
● Helps you pick leaders, not laggards.
