Darvas boxes From Nicolas Darvas' book from 1960, "how I made 2 M$ in the stock market". Darvas reinvented standard Edwards/Magee (or should I say Schabacker) breakouts from congestion. In his concept, stocks trade in "boxes", which are essentially areas of congestion. When they break out into a new "box" (i.e. out of congestion) you should buy. Nothing original there, and very simplistic, but it has influenced a lot of people. Gary B. Smith, I believe, credits Darvas for his most important inspiration. - The Boom Dog P.S.
