Detector performance

Nicolas Darvas detector

90-day paper performance — every setup that passed the Gatekeeper in the last 90 days.

Forward returns shown are paper returns (detection price → current price) — not live trade results. This is a research tool. Past scan performance does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.

Two numbers, two definitions

3 live on the Nicolas Darvas profile counts symbols clearing the full Darvas screen — score and relative-strength thresholds included — in the newest scan (Oct 27). 40 below counts every gatekeeper-passed pattern detection logged over 90 days, one per ticker per session, of which 7 came from that same newest scan. A detection is the raw signal; a live setup is a detection that also cleared the screen.

— = pending; the detection close locks at the first completed session after detection, so 7 rows here are still waiting on one.

Methodology: Return = (current close − detection-day close) / detection-day close × 100. Detection price uses the closing price on or within 3 days after the scan date. Only setups that passed the Gatekeeper filter (trend template + pattern confidence) are included. "Win" = positive return from detection to present. These are unrealized returns — actual trade results depend on entry execution, stop-loss management, and position sizing.
