How to Trade like Nicolas Darvas

A few weeks ago, I came across a book named “How I made $ 2 million in the Stock Market “ . At first I was skeptical of buying it as I thought it would talk about get rich quick thing or maybe the author would only be talking about how great he was so that he made this fortune in such a short span of time. But I am glad I ordered the book and I was hooked as soon as I started reading it! Read : Best Stock Market Books For Trader and Investors Nicolas Darvas was extremely famous in the Stock Market realm not only because of the fact that he made $ 2 Million in the stock market, but because of the way in which he made it. He had no prior knowledge of the market and was a professional dancer and continued to pursue his dancing profession and he used to tour the world for the same even when he was carrying leveraged open stock positions.
