Darvas Results at EOD 2007/01/25

Darvas style of trading is really a multiple day trading system. However, since I have to do some database manipulation in the background to track these over multiple days, we'll use these as candidates for day-trading: enter at the beginning of the day, and exit by the end of the day. The tables below show the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) values for each symbol selected from the previous day. The column total under Open shows the total invested per share.

The column 'O->H' shows the profit per share when entered at the Open and exited at the High. Your actual profit will be somewhere in that range if you can exit with a positive value.

The column 'O->C' shows the profit per share when entered at the Open and exited at the Close of the day.

In summary, if you enter on rising valuation, it is possible to profit for the day.

In comparison, The Dow Jones Industrial Index Opened at 12621, barely rose to 12622, had a low of 12487, and closed down for the day at 12502.

The Darvas calculations provide stop prices. I'll work that in on the multiple day scenarios in upcoming posts.
