Hi Nikolay
I got really exited when i found your box software, just what i have been looking for then found it was intended for MT5 but i use MT4, is there any chance you also designed similar for MT4, i keep my fingers crossed.
Many thanks Tony Hughes

Darvas Box:
Darvas trading technique is based on his method of a new trend detection.
Method of charts analysis developed by Nicolas Darvas is very popular in Europe and USA. Darvas trading technique is based on his method of a new trend detection. Buy signals are generated at the moment the bullish trend is confirmed and stop levels are set at the same time. Darvas used his method for trading on day charts. Therefore, his method almost ideally suits the traders with full-time jobs.
Darvas used a special filter for his work - Darvas Box. It helped Darvas to determine the importance of various market movements. The filter consists of the upper and lower borders of the area.
The brief method description is as follows: we should buy in case of the upper border breakout. At this very moment a stop level under the lower border is installed. In case a new area is formed, the stop levels are moved under the lower border of the new area. The reverse situation is for selling.
