Risk and Trade Management: Incorporates a basic risk management strategy where the number of shares to trade is calculated based on the user's specified risk per trade and the size of the box.

How to find Darvas Stocks using TradingView's Stock Screener 2.0🔷 Introduction
Nicolas Darvas, a dancer by profession and a self-taught trader, managed to turn a mere $36,000 into a whopping $2 million within an 18-month timeframe during the late 1950s. His approach to trading, now famously known as the Darvas Box Theory, primarily focused on trading stocks that were making new highs. But why was Darvas so fixated on these particular stocks?
Darvas believed that stocks hitting new highs were driven by fundamental factors that had caught the attention of many investors, thereby driving up demand. He was particularly interested in stocks that were not only hitting new highs but were also accompanied by significantly higher-than-average trading volumes, indicating strong investor interest and buying pressure. These stocks, often referred to as "Darvas Stocks," typically exhibit a strong upward momentum and are characterized by their ability to remain resilient, even in a sideways or bearish market.
In this guide, we will explore how to utilize TradingView's Stock Screener 2.0 to identify potential Darvas Stocks by filtering for stocks that are near their all-time or 52-week highs and are trading on above-average volumes.
🔷 Step 1: Open Stock Screener 2.0
First, navigate to the Stock Screener 2.0 by clicking here: www.tradingview.com
Your screener should look like this:
Note: TradingView also has a Stock Screener 1.0. (available at www.tradingview.com). Do not use version 1.0, as it does not have the necessary filters we are going to use in our quest for Darvas Stocks.
🔷 Step 2: Set Up the Price Filter
To identify stocks that are near their all-time or 52-week highs, we'll set up a custom Price filter.
To create a custom Price filter, click on the Price filter button and select "Custom". If you can't see the Price button in the top toolbar, click on the + icon and search for Price.
In the Price filter creation dialog, in the first drop-down, select "Below %".
In the second drop-down, select a percentage (e.g. 0-5%). This is how much the price will have to be below the all-time/52-week high in order to qualify as a Darvas Stock.
In the third drop-down, select "New high".
And finally, in the fourth drop-down, select either "52W" or "All Time", depending on the timeframe you wish to use.
When fully configured, your custom price filter should look like this:
Once you click on the button with the tick, your filter should be applied.
Next, let's set up the Volume filter to only show those stocks that trade above average volume.
🔷 Step 3: Configure the Volume Filter
Darvas placed a significant emphasis on volume as it indicated the strength behind the price movement.
To create a custom Volume filter, click on the + icon and search for Volume.
You have multiple options here. You can either compare the daily/weekly volume against weekly/monthly volume or compare volume averages.
If you would like to compare the stock's Volume, select "Volume" from the results. If, instead, you would like to compare volume averages, choose "Average Volume".
In the example below, we will show you how to set up the volume filter so that it only shows those stocks which have their 10-day average volume trading 50% or more above their 30-day average volume.
To compare volume averages, create a custom "Average Volume" filter.
In the Average Volume filter creation dialog, in the first drop-down, select 10D.
In the second drop-down, select "Above %"
In the third drop-down, select "50% or more".
In the fourth drop-down, select "Average Volume".
And finally, in the fifth drop-down, select 30D.
When fully configured, your custom average volume filter should look like this:
Once you click on the button with the tick, your filter should be applied.
🔷 Step 4: Additional Filters (Optional)
You may also want to apply additional filters based on your trading preferences, such as:
Market Capitalization: Filter stocks based on their market cap to focus on companies of a particular size.
Sector/Industry: If you want to focus on specific sectors or industries, apply the relevant filters.
🔷 Step 5: Analyze the Results
Once you have your list of potential Darvas Stocks:
Examine the Charts: Look for stocks that are forming a Darvas Box, indicating a consolidation period followed by a breakout.
Fundamental Analysis: Although Darvas primarily used technical analysis, ensuring the company has solid fundamentals can provide additional confirmation.
🔷 Step 6: Continuous Monitoring
Maintaining a watchful eye on the stocks that align with your criteria can offer valuable insights into market behaviour and the practical application of the Darvas Box Theory. It's essential to observe how these stocks perform, particularly how they behave around their respective boxes, and to use this as a learning opportunity to understand the nuances and potential challenges of implementing this strategy in real-time trading scenarios.
🔷 Conclusion
Utilizing TradingView's Stock Screener 2.0 to identify potential Darvas Stocks provides a structured and efficient method to explore and understand the principles that Nicolas Darvas applied to his own trading journey. Observing stocks that are making new highs on above-average volumes allows you to delve deeper into the Darvas Box Theory and appreciate its practical applications and limitations. Remember, the objective is to learn and understand the strategy, not to provide a foolproof trading system. Always approach trading with caution, and consider utilizing a demo account to practice without risking actual capital.
HOW-TO: Navigate the Market with the Darvas Box Strategy
🚀 Introduction to the Darvas Box Strategy
Nicolas Darvas, a dancer by trade, crafted a unique and potent trading strategy during his global tours, famously turning $36,000 into $2 million within an 18-month timeframe during the 1950s. His approach, detailed in his book "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market," revolves around the concept of the "Darvas Box" - a method that encapsulates price movements and leverages breakout patterns, all while keeping a keen eye on volume.
Darvas sought stocks carving all-time highs and observed their trading ranges, creating a "box" from the consolidation periods. He would buy on the breakout above the box and implement a stop-loss below it, ensuring a meticulous risk management approach.

NEVDF Long-term reversalHello everyone.
V-Bottom happened on the weakly.
Volume Increase on rallies and decrease on corrections.
Darvas box pattern - you have a shoot up and then the price consolidates within a box range...
The stock was in a very long downtrend without any signals of reversal until now.
Checked also the weakly chart.
Basic materials are advancing.
Average Up as a Trading StrategyThe average up strategy provides Huge wins, Small losses and Risk minimized.
Use RANGE-CHART for this, so you could see the Buy setups more easily with less noise or time distortion.
First
You look for a buy setup, one that you believe that price should move rapidly from your starting buy point (you expect ab big relative move).
Second
You add up position. Every trader should use his own risk management based on his account size and what he is comfortable with,
BUT...
The position units you add have to be in the SAME SIZE! If they are not in the same size, the break-even point will not move up as I showed in the chart.
Side note: experience traders can play with the portions of the positions, so they can manipulate the break-even point as they wish...
In the first case on the chart (the idea was wrong), the position stopped out with 3 units of loss.
In the second case on the chart (the idea was right), the price from a certain point moved away from the break-even point,
which means that you were GREEN the whole time in the trade (when you had a relatively big position).
You had "AIR" to hold this huge position.
Many great traders used the average-up strategy: Jesse Livermore, Richard Wyckoff, Nicolas Darvas.
If you are right, you are right in the biggest position possible => you have a huge win of 45 UNITS.
if you are wrong, you are wrong in the small position => you have a small loss of 3 UNITS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom-line profit => 42 UNITS of profit $$$$

#NIFTY .... A Story in one hour boxesIndia's main index, NIFTY 50, hasn't broken down though these one hour boxes, on a closing basis, since the massive selling on December 21, 2020.
A case for long NIFTY continues till the boxes keep getting marked up.
It can't be gainsaid that this is a market, in which one should move with Stop losses on a progressive basis.
Darvas Volume Screening on Weekly VolumeAs you all know the book written by nicholas darvas in 1959, emphisized on the volume and price action on weekly magazine called Barton. This weekly magazine contains information about price action and volume and also about company business and important fundamental indicator.
This screener on weekly data and hopefully could some how functioned as Darvas Barton on screening the price action and volume of certain stock, especially stock in Indonesia. Here I used the 1 week data, relative volume to scan the significant changes in volume, market caps of the stock, positive changes in price action and volume in recent months.
Please share your comments on this idea based on the Darvas price action and volume in 'How I Made 2 Million in Stock' book.
XJO breakout imminentS&P 200 (XJO) is currently pulling back at resistance, but has formed a great looking Darvas box. If it can break above 6200 and hold support, we are going to around 6650.
A fib extension still puts the next move to 6300. I expect a pull back to test 6200 support, then resumption upward. After that the next extension is just above the ATH.
This is also forming the start of an Elliot wave after the counter trend move (consolidation).
XMR has almost completed measured moveXMR has completed the measured move from the breakout of the consolidation box.
This also lines up perfectly with a fairly major resistance level from back in June/July 2019 and September/Oct 2018
I don't expect XMR to crash, it will probably go sideways before breakout.
If XMR can break $120 and hold support, I would expect a move to $200-215.
