# Darvas Box
Use this skill to apply Nicolas Darvas-style box trading: find strong stocks making new highs, define the box, buy breakouts above the box, and place stops below the box.
## When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- Darvas Box analysis
- New-high momentum stocks
- Box breakout buy points
- Mechanical stop placement below a consolidation box
- Whether a growth stock is forming a tradable range
