The Darvas Method

[aim hier]

Of course, as noted earlier, Darvas' method involved buying stocks going into a higher box at an all time high. This is not the case with AMCC

Anyone using Darvas' method would have made a fortune in the tech bubble, when the market retreated, the stop losses would have moved one safely to the sidelines.

The ideal candidate would be a company with a promising product or technology, that has been outperforming the market. Fix the boxes, buy on a breakout (should be at an all time high price), set a stop loss. If the stock continues to climb, consider adding more, keep the stop losses trailing the price. Let the market tell you when to get out.
