Trading Style :
TREND FOLLOWING MOMENTUM TRADING
📌Darvas was tracking stocks only making new high
Trading stocks breaking 2-3 year high.
📌But 52-week high is mostly tracked for this theory
📌Emphasized very much on Huge volume Breakouts

A typical Darvas Box Chart :
3/n
Rules to Follow :
Stock Price Should be within 15 to 20 % of Highs
Overall trend of the stocks should be up and greater than 200 ema
Preferably 100% up then the 52 week low
Look for Industry Leaders , with High Growth
4/n
How to Trade ?
📌Whenever the stocks breaks the 52 week Keep them on watchlist
📌Look that The next 3 candles should not break the 52 week high and fall below
📌The high point will be called as CEILING
📌Look for Volume Breakout too or Breakout should be Above Average volume
5/n
Floor: Stoploss
📌Floor is basically the a small reversal point or bottom the stock is trying to make.
📌Floor is generally the stoploss of the trade
📌The bigger the range the bigger the stoploss and higher the Risk
6/n
Example : #GREENPANEL
After 52 week High , mark the Top: Ceiling
After a small Reversal mark the Bottom : Floor
Enter As soon as the 52 week high breaks with stoploss
7/n
#RADICO #MANINFRA
✅Enter When 52 Week High is Broken , and Keep Adding as and when the box formation takes place .
🛑Keep Shifting the stoploss to next Box lows
8/n
PIC 1:
Entry on failed Breakout but Stops Dont hit as Stoploss is below the Box

PIC 2 : You should only draw boxes when the next 3 candles of 52 week high dont break the high.

9/n
Parameters checked : #MINDAIND
#kotakbank : Not valid Box , as stock is not breaking the 52 week high only the range breakout is happening

Also Restrict yourself to growth stocks that is midcaps and smallcaps

3. After the breakout of the box, if price moves higher and forms another box, then trail stop-loss to the Floor price of the newly formed box and keep trailing on each subsequent floor.
4.Exit the trade when price goes below the floor price of the recent box.

So What is Relative Strength ?

Relative strength is a strategy used in momentum investing and in identifying value stocks.

More from Screeners

Time for a new thread on the possibilities I am looking for.
Do read it completely to understand the stance and the plan.


1. The moving average structure - Many traders just look at the 200 ma test or closing above/below it regardless of its slope. Let's look at all the interactions with 200 ma where price met it for the first time after the trend change but with 200 ma slope against it


One can clearly sense that currently it is one of those scenarios only. I understand that I might get trolled for this, but an unbiased mind suggests that odds are highly against the bulls for making fresh investments.

But markets are good at giving surprises. What should be our stance if price kept on rising? Let's understand that through charts. The concept is still the same. Divergent 200 ma and price move results in 200 ma test atleast once which gives good investment opportunities.


2. Zig-Zag bear market- There are two types of fall in a bear market, the first one is vertical fall which usually ends with ending diagonals (falling wedges) and the second one is zig zag one which usually ends with parabolic down moves.

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.
