Darvas Boxes

Darvas box theory is a trading strategy developed by Nicolas Darvas to target stocks using highs and volume as key indicators. Darvas developed his theory in the 1950s while travelling the world as a professional ballroom dancer. Darvas’ trading technique involves buying into stocks that are trading at new highs and drawing a box around the recent highs and lows to establish entry point and placement of the stop-loss order.

I was looking for Darvas’ box indicator, I managed to find the forum on the site with code exchanges for it.Not having found a provision in the library, I saw fit to share this code.

Thank you to “zen83” for its sharing
