Advanced Intraday Darvas Box

This indicator applies a modern Darvas Box strategy for intraday traders, using non-repainting pivot detection combined with strong filters to reduce chart noise:

• Confirmed swing highs and lows: Boxes only form when genuine swing pivots appear, ensuring fully non-repainting signals.
  
• Minimum box height: Small, "noise" boxes are filtered out using ATR multiples for meaningful zones.
  
• Trend filter: Choose EMA, SMA, or VWAP to lock boxes and breakouts to market direction.
  
• Volume confirmation: Boxes are only confirmed when volume is above a user-defined threshold, highlighting high-participation moves.
  
• Breakout filter: Signals trigger only if the breakout candle closes substantially beyond the box, reducing false breakouts.
  
• Limited box display: Recent boxes only, keeping your chart clean and readable.

How to Add and Use

Customize Inputs:
Use the settings gear ⚙️ to adjust pivot sensitivity, trend logic, box filtering, and volume confirmation.
Lower minimum box height or pivot length for more frequent signals. Raise them for sparser, higher conviction setups.

Reading Darvas Boxes:

• Box Edges: Horizontal lines mark resistance (top) and support (bottom) of detected zones.
  
• Shaded regions: Highlight the most relevant trading zones and where price could coil before breakout.
  
• Breakout labels (↑/↓): These appear only when price makes a powerful, confirmed move beyond the box edge—aligned with trend.
  
• Alerts: Turn on chart alerts using the “Strong Bullish Breakout” or “Strong Bearish Breakdown” alert conditions for automated signal monitoring.
  

Best Practices:

• Use Darvas boxes to complement price action analysis. Combine with candlestick patterns, volume spikes, and other price structure.
  
• Only trade strong breakout signals confirmed by volume and market direction.
  
• Avoid excessive boxes—adjust "Max Boxes" and filters for your instrument and timeframe.
