The Nicolas Darvas story is unique in that there is no mystery to how he made his fortune. Unlike other theories put forward by so-called market gurus there is no need to spend years unravelling the mystery of a Darvas Box. You can trade like Darvas today! Simple, practical and logical is the best way to describe "The Darvas Box Theory".
Darvas' story and his trading technique were described in his first book How I Made $2,000,000 In The Stock Market (1986, Lyle Stuart Kensington Publishing, New York). His method, like all good systems is simple and founded in logic and common sense. But what is common sense isn't common practice in today's high tech. world. All that is required is the discipline to follow it. Darvas' discipline was remarkable, this coupled with his ability to analyse himself as well as the stock market was the root of his trading success. Through his self-analysis he came to realize that "his ears were his worst enemy"; he was failing because he was listening to the advice of others. Sound familiar? I am convinced if you simply traded any simple method and follwoed you would do better then 90% of fund managers. Where is your pension and life saving? Do you trust them?Â
 He made his fortune without the help of computers, mobile phones, fax machines,emailes, Internet or any of the communications technology we have at our disposal today, indeed he only had access to end-of-day data and a weekly copy of Barrons! All of his trading decisions were made outside trading hours, not sitting watching a live data screen all day. Starting with an account of only $25,000, Darvas amassed a fortune of over $2.25 million dollars. This was in 1959 and would be equivalent to over $20 million dollars today.
Another unique aspect of the Darvas Box story is that it is a true story, well documented and authenticated at the time of his interview with Time Magazine. Darvas did not have inside information or work within the financial industry, nor was he some sort of financial whiz kid; in fact he was one half of the world's highest paid ballroom dancing team.
