Darvas read some 200 of the best books on the market by the great speculators, spending 8 hours a day saturating all the information. He came up with a unique approach and plan for trading stocks that was to see him achieve $2,450,000 fortune in just 18 months. Darvas invested his money into a couple of stocks that had been hitting their 52-week high. He was utterly surprised that the stocks continued to rise and subsequently sold them to make a large profit. His main source of stock selection was Barron’s Magazine. At the age of 39, after accumulating his fortune, Darvas documented his techniques in the book, How I Made 2,000,000 in the Stock Market. The book describes his unique ‘Box System’, which he used to buy and sell stocks. Darvas’ book remains a classic stock market text to this day.

About the Author
Hungarian by birth, Nicolas darvas trained as an economist at the University of Budapest. Reluctant to remain in Hungary until either the Nazis or the Soviets took over, he fled at the age of 23 with a forged exit visa and fifty pounds sterling to stave off hunger in Istanbul, Turkey. And now Nicolas Darvas is regarded as one of the best traders in the history of the market and his method, whilst complicated and difficult to master, has been rigorously tested and has been found to be one of the best trading systems yet developed.
