| 1 | # Darvas Box |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Use this skill to apply Nicolas Darvas-style box trading: find strong stocks making new highs, define the box, buy breakouts above the box, and place stops below the box. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## When To Use |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Use this skill when the user asks for: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Darvas Box analysis |
| 10 | - New-high momentum stocks |
| 11 | - Box breakout buy points |
| 12 | - Mechanical stop placement below a consolidation box |
| 13 | - Whether a growth stock is forming a tradable range |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Trigger phrases include `Darvas`, `Darvas Box`, `box breakout`, `new highs`, `volume confirmation`, `stop below the box`, and `momentum growth stock`. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## Do Not Use When |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - The stock is not liquid. |
| 20 | - The stock is not near highs or has no defined box. |
| 21 | - The user wants low-P/E value analysis. |
| 22 | - The general market is hostile to growth breakouts. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ## Inputs Needed |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - Ticker and market |
| 27 | - Recent daily/weekly OHLCV |
| 28 | - Box high, box low, number of tests, and breakout volume |
| 29 | - Market trend and sector strength |
| 30 | - Risk budget and current position if sizing is requested |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## Process |
| 33 | |
| 34 | 1. Confirm the stock is liquid, strong, and near new highs. |
| 35 | 2. Define the current box high and low. |
| 36 | 3. Check that price has respected the box enough to make the range meaningful. |
| 37 | 4. Treat a decisive move above box high on volume as the buy trigger. |
| 38 | 5. Put the stop below the box or a clearly defined support level. |
| 39 | 6. Move to a new box only after the stock advances and consolidates again. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Output Format |

| 62 | |
| 63 | ## Guardrails |
| 64 | |
| 65 | - Do not buy inside a sloppy box unless the plan allows anticipation. |
| 66 | - Do not move the stop lower after entry. |
| 67 | - Do not average down. |
| 68 | - Do not treat old highs as valid if volume and trend are weak. |
| 69 | - Do not ignore market direction. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ## Questflow Use |
| 72 | |
| 73 | In Questflow, this skill is best used as a mechanical momentum module for detecting box setups, defining stops, and monitoring breakout failure. |
