Don't Just Trade Like a Pro, Trade Like a Genius!

 
 

The Nicolas Darvas story is unique in that there is no mystery to how he made his fortune.  Unlike other theories put forward by so-called market gurus there is no need to spend years unravelling the mystery of Darvas.  You can trade like Darvas today!  Simple, practical and logical is the best way to describe “The Darvas Box Theory”.

Darvas’ story and his trading technique were described in his first book How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market (1986, Lyle Stuart Kensington Publishing, New York). His method, like all good systems is simple and founded in logic. All that is required is the discipline to follow it. Darvas’ discipline was remarkable, this coupled with his ability to analyse himself as well as the market was the root of his trading success. Through his self-analysis he came to realize that “his ears were his worst enemy”; he was failing because he was listening to the advice of others.

He made his fortune without the help of computers, mobile phones, fax machines or any of the communications technology we have at our disposal today, indeed he only had access to end-of-day data and a weekly copy of Barrons! All of his trading decisions were made outside trading hours, not sitting watching a live data screen all day. Starting with an account of only $10000, Darvas amassed a fortune of over $2.2 million dollars. This was in 1959 and would be equivalent to over $20 million dollars today.

Another unique aspect of the Darvas story is that it is a true story, well documented and authenticated at the time of his interview with Time Magazine. Darvas did not have inside information or work within the financial industry, nor was he some sort of financial whiz kid; in fact he was one half of the world's highest paid ballroom dancing team.

The key to his success was that Darvas was always working on the ultimate trading plan, incorporating risk management rules that would finally lead him to build a small fortune within a few years. Few individuals have the discipline of Nicolas Darvas so Pro Trader has developed the Darvas Box Scanner that will find the Darvas Boxes for you, with strict entry criteria as used by Nicolas Darvas. This is NOT a simple box drawing tool, it is a powerful application that scans every stock in the market to find potential trades exhibiting the Darvas Box "signature". You are but a mouse click away from trading with a PROVEN stock selection and risk management system. Darvas' method guarantees that at least at your entry point you are in a rising stock. All you have to do is manage the risk by trailing your stop loss order; a simple yet very effective technique.

 
 

 
 

Here we see an example of the Darvas technique at work in the market in 2006 just as it did in 1960. Notice how we can pyramid into positions in rising stocks; a powerful technique to focus your financial resources and maximise returns while protecting the downside.

Our software allows you to scan using:

  • Variable scan periods

  • Limited percentage risk

  • Additional percentage risk buffer

  • Variable bottom and top confirmation periods

  • Include volume qualifying criteria

  • Trend confirmation

Trading Tip

Darvas. Never be tempted too buy early while the stock is still within the box. You will not be getting the stock cheaper, you will be exposing your trade to disaster! We must use the full range of the box to ensure that the stock "proves" itself by breaking the top of the box. Only then is the bottom of the box validated as a possible stop-loss level.
