How I Made $2 million in the Stock Market by Nicholas Darvas
“How Nicholas Darvas Turned $25,000 Into 2 Million Dollars Within 18 Months?”
How I Made $2 million in the Stock Market by Nicholas Darvas is an extraordinary audio mp3 and 200 pages book. Nicholas Darvas is one of the most unusual success stories in the history of the stock market.
It tells how did a world-famous dancer with no knowledge of the stock market, or of finance in general, make 2 million dollars in the stock market in 18 months starting with only $10,000? Darvas is legendary, and with good reason.
Nicholas Darvas was not a stock market professional trading on inside information. He was one half of the highest paid dance team in show business, an expert cryptic crossword compiler, and a championship ping pong player. Yet he was able to make himself a millionaire several times over by his unique investment approach. Unlike other so-called systems, it worked regardless of whether the market rose or fell.
When news of Darvas’s fantastic profits and methods leaked out, he was featured in Time magazine. He then was persuaded to write a book which became an instant hit, selling nearly 200,000 copies in eight weeks.
Many of the companies talked about in this book no longer exist. Many of the stocks are no longer traded. Nevertheless, the basic principles are as sound as ever.
Nicolas Darvas chronicles how he got involved in stock trading from losing money on rumours and bad advice to the formulation of his famous Darvas Box Theory and the accumulation of more than $2,000,000 in less than two years.

Most traders lose money in the markets because they are culturally and biologically “wired” to do just that. In this presentation you will play a simulated trading game that gives you one of the three keys to trading success and emphasizes your performance in the other two areas. In the discussion that follows the game, you will learn the three keys to trading success, how people fail in each area, and exactly what you can do to jump way ahead of the crowd. First, Van covers one of the most neglected topics in trading success: expectancy. You will learn the key bias that causes most people to trade negative expectancy systems. You will also learn the key factor in creating a high positive expectancy (it’s probably not what you think). Second, you will learn about money management—that portion of your trading system that answers the question “how much?” throughout the course of a trade. Money management can account for ninety percent of the variance in the performance of a room full of traders. In the simulation game, some people will go broke and many will lose money; others may make over one hundred percent. Money management will account for much of this disparity. Learn how to use money management to meet your objectives and jump to the next level of success. Lastly, Van discusses the most important factor in your trading performance: discipline, your ability to follow your own rules. Learn why fighting your emotions will cause them to dominate you and what you can do about it. Van will also teach you the three key tasks that every trader should perform daily to improve discipline.
Bill is revolutionizing the world of technical analysis by challenging its chief underlying premise — that the past can be used to predict the future. Instead, Bill describes the markets as a “natural phenomenon,” which the traditional classical sciences cannot model or explain. “Classical science can model the trajectory of a rocket but cannot model the shape of a cloud, the structure of a plant, the flow of a river or the machinations of the market.”
Learn why the science of Chaos Theory draws a more accurate picture of market action and intention than other approaches and how you can apply this theory to your trading and daily life. This opportunity allows you to gain the benefit of years of experience in two hours while learning Profitunity’s unique “10 second analysis”. You will learn why over 90% of all traders lose money consistently while 50% of all contracts make money on each price change, even though traders rank in the top 10 percent of intelligence of the general population.
Event trading is a new and exciting technique for trading the financial and commodity markets. It represents a third major approach to trading, distinctly different from technical or fundamental methodologies. Designed to capture profits from market reactions to news events, event trading provides a systematic approach for exploiting a wide variety of market-moving events such as economic reports, interest rate changes, and surprises in corporate earnings.
