Using The Darvas System

Quote from mhashe:

I use a derivation of Darvas box system. Only I buy at the bottom of the box and keep a 3% stop from there. When it reaches back up to the box, sell 1/2 position.

Sound very interesting....but how do you buy at the bottom of the box?

Mind to share? Thanks in advance!!
 
Quote from Sashe:

Are these trades with real money or paper?
If real-do you have the limit on the number of positions opened?

I only hold 5 to 8 stocks maximum in my actual trading, I just keep track the rest in http://www.darvasboxes.com/report.html to see how things are going with these Darvas qualifiers (those that are not in my portfolio).

A reverse box theory would work because stocks tend to stack boxes downward. That is a good play for shorting stocks.

Nicolas's classic book should re-title as "How I Made 3,000,000 in the Stock Market"....:D
 
Quote from dougcs:

toby,

Good luck, I'm a fan of Darvas.

I noticed all the stocks are NYSE listed, any reason for this?

Welcome mate....

The most direct way to participate in large moves is to trade volatile and trendy stocks.

Then why NYSE, not Nasdaq? Nasdaq stocks are far too much volatile than NYSE stocks; this means we must put up with the fact that we will be stopped out at a higher rate with these Nasdaq stocks.

Also, by limiting myself to NYSE listed stock is a way to reduce the number of selections and stop me to spend too much time looking at charts.
