Learn How to Use the Darvas Box Trading Indicator

Like other trading strategies, the Darvas Box is a break out momentum strategy. Developed in 1956 by ballroom dancer Nicolas Darvas, this strategy enabled him to turn a $10,000 investment into $2,000,000 over 18 months. Naysayers attributed his success to the bull market that existed at the time, and were quick to say that similar results couldn’t have been achieved in a bear market. It is also said that Darvas achieved peace of mind from following his strategy, and was less hyped about the money that he made.

The Darvas Box uses fundamental analysis to determine which stocks to buy or sell, and technical analysis to determine when to trigger the trade and when to exit the market. Darvas’ fundamental philosophy was to invest in growth stocks. He looked at an increase in volume for confirmation in industries that he expected to grow. Then, he used the Darvas Box method for his entry and exit strategy.

Even though Darvas used this method for his stock portfolio, this indicator can be used on any trending market. In the S&P Daily Chart below, the Darvas Box is automatically drawn with bullish price action.
