Hi Roddy,
I like the Darvas story too.
I read about the book in Dec 2007 and how to apply the method.
Purchased ASX, WOR and WOW in Dec 2007 on the ASX.
If you take a look at the charts you will see all tanked in January 2008.
Darvas was not worried buying at all time high levels if stocks were going higher.
My conclusion is it works best in bull markets that are trending steadily.
I got out of WOW OK but took losses on ASX and WOR. (Big ones for me)
Is there any free software charts available to identify Darvas box opportunities.
I am aware that Protrader had this feature on a pay to use basis.
Thanks & rgds
