Darvas Box

Nicolas Darvas method: buy new-high leaders consolidating in a defined horizontal box.


The Darvas Box method tracks stocks making new highs, then defines a rectangular "box" from the consolidation high and low. A close above the box top is the buy trigger; the box low defines risk.

Swing Edge's Darvas Box scanner validates box geometry after 52-week highs, scores consolidation tightness, and ranks candidates daily on the /darvas-box screener.
