已更新

Embark on a strategic trading journey with the implementation of the Darvas Box strategy, meticulously crafted in this script, inspired by Nicolas Darvas's groundbreaking approach detailed in his seminal book, "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market".

Nicolas Darvas, a dancer by profession and a trader by passion, devised a unique trading strategy during his global tours, which enabled him to turn $36,000 into $2 million within an 18-month timeframe in the late 1950s. His method, known as the Darvas Box strategy, involves tracking stock prices that are trading at new highs and utilizing a unique box structure that helps to identify the rising stocks and manage the trades effectively.

This script brings Darvas's innovative strategy to your trading charts, providing a comprehensive tool that not only identifies and draws the Darvas Boxes automatically but also enables you to backtest the strategy across various assets and timeframes. With capabilities like automated stop-loss adjustments, strategic pyramiding entries, and dynamic trade management, the script offers a robust framework for traders who seek to explore the potential of the Darvas Box strategy in modern markets.

Whether you're navigating through the realms of stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies, this script allows you to visualize and validate the Darvas Box strategy, offering customizable settings to tailor the strategy according to your trading style and risk management preferences. From seamless box formations and enhanced trade visualization to in-depth analysis with every box, the script encapsulates the essence of Darvas's method while integrating the adaptability required for today's diverse and dynamic markets.

Embark on your trading journey with a strategy that has stood the test of time, and leverage the capabilities of this script to explore, analyze, and strategize your trades in alignment with the principles laid down by Nicolas Darvas.
