Minervini O'Neil Livermore Weinstein Darvas Wyckoff

Darvas B · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.

Pivot

Pro level

Published-method rule: Use the top of the active Darvas box near the high as the mechanical breakout boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Entry trigger

Pro level

Published-method rule: Require price to clear the box top with volume confirmation; movement inside the box remains observation, not a trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Initial stop

Pro level

Published-method rule: Start below the active box support or the canonical structural stop that proves the breakout failed.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail

Rule-based

Published-method rule: As higher boxes form, raise the stop beneath the newest confirmed box floor; the stop moves up only.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Exit / invalidation

Pro level

Published-method rule: Exit when price breaks the active box floor or decisively falls back through the breakout structure.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Cup & Handle bullish near confirmation

90% built

Cup complete, possible handle forming — watch for a quiet 5-15 bar drift on light volume holding above ~139.34 (mid-cup), then a breakout through ~152.55 on strong volume.

Confirms above 152.55

Invalidates at 139.34

Rim 157.29

Cup Low 121.39

Pivot 152.55

Mid Cup 139.34

Cup depth 23%, recovery 65%, handle=forming

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
