Right at the outset, Darvas said that he was determined to find stocks that were moving up. Not just a small spurt, but stocks that were moving up. What does this translate to in relation to your question : "In other words, if one buys into a stock as it enters a new box and the price remains in that box, how long does the Darvas method call for waiting on the stock to move out of its box? Days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, indefinitely, on into infinity, or what?" If it isn't moving up, it's not a Darvas stock. As soon as you determine it isn't a Darvas stock, sell – win , lose or draw. -- Dow Beater |
