Percent above average volume for a new high or low to form a blue box. The Darvas boxes are color coded to show you the high volume breakouts and the low volume breakouts.  Here you can set the percent of average volume required for a high volume breakout.  High volume breakouts are blue and low volume breakouts are red. Number of bars used for calculating the average volume. When Ramp calculates the average volume this is the number of bars used in the calculation. Maximum box height as a percent of price. Here you can control the height of the Darvas Boxes shown.  This can control your risk in the trade.  A Darvas Box with a very small height has a lower risk assuming you exit the trade if the box is violated.  This value is not used if you have checked the box requesting all historical Darvas Boxes be shown.
