Darvas Box Trading System - Tested 100 Times

I review a modern version of the trading system created by Hungarian Economist Nicolas Darvas. His book “How I made $2 Million in the Stock Market”, which features his Darvas Box trading system, was subject of a criminal investigation. I go over the details of this complete trading system, test it 100 times, review the results, give it a score, and then provide my popular optimization techniques.
