Hi,

I am fairly new to Wealth Lab and just finished reading Nicholas Darvas' book. I copied the code posted for the Darvas Box into Wealth Lab v 5.6 and compiled it successfully. When I attempt to run it against a stock (like AAPL), it does not identify any trades, yet when I execute it on the Wealth Lab web site, it works fine. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike Gross

It's likely due to your Position Sizing settings. Select a Raw Profit mode, for example.

Hi,

I switched to Raw Profit mode and applied it to 6 ETFs for the period 2000-2010. Unfortunately no trades appeared.

Thanks,

Mike

From where, precisely did you copy the code? Paste it here.
What are all the settings?
Symbols?

I know that it won't help you to say that "it works for me", but it doesn't help me to help you if you essentially only tell me that it doesn't work for you.
