So how can you capture significant profits from the Forex market? With this reliable resource, author Don Snellgrove—an active Forex trader and educator of traders—will show you how.

In order to clearly understand the methodology described throughout this book—which includes the S90/Crossover as well as several other applications—you need to determine trends, resistance, support, and confirming procedures through software that utilizes ROI, RC, RCU/D, and their extensions with cluster formations for possible reversal entries.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do background research on author, January 24, 2008

This review is from: Selective Forex Trading: How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row Without a Loss (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)

I just received this book and after 30 minutes, I'm worried I got ripped off. Do your research before you spend $50+. Don Snellgrove of Concorde Forex Group(CFG) and Forex Producers Group LLC. I did a quick search after the opening chapter mentioned his trading tools and sources, specifically CFGSmartCharts service. He mentions the ROI, G meter and stochastics, and that his CFGSmartCharts provide daily inner channel walls and extreme levels(?) automatically. So I looked up CFG.

Lots of forums talking about how they were scammed by the Snellgroves for $5500 courses that failed to provide. So I read the book a little more and read the followingabout his S90/Crossover "...there are four levels to the S90/Crossover procedure. The chapters that follow present the first two levels, as well as information regarding the associated extreme levels of the S90/Crossover, which I often use as entries as well as for profit targets. The last two levels are a bit more complicated, and I suggest, once again, to locate a certified mentor who has been properly trained to explain the more advanced levels of the S90/Crossover. You can find contact information for a certified mentor in the Resouce section of this book." Oddly enough, 3 of the 4 resources listed are related to Don Snellgrove's businesses, CFGTrading, CFG LLC, and Forex Producers.

I am a beginner in FOREX and only recently opened my first demo account. I may learn something from this book because I still have so much to learn, but I am very leery of a sales pitch on page 11.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book!, January 29, 2008

This review is from: Selective Forex Trading: How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row Without a Loss (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)

I gave this book 1 star only because it wouldn't let me give it zero. This book is a 50+ dollar advertisement for his companies. He mentions indicators that are only available through his charting service. I'm pretty easy going, if I get even one piece of useful information from a book I consider it worthwhile. Not this book, it is a RIP-OFF!

1.0 out of 5 stars Unrealistic promises, January 26, 2008

By

This review is from: Selective Forex Trading: How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row Without a Loss (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)

I have perused this book. I have many books on Forex and have been a Forex trader for several years. Like the review from Brad S. , I would proceed cautiously. The outset of this book targets novice traders.

The market often is a self-fulfilling prophecy where universal indicators such as Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci levels are respected. Who are really using the ROI indicator and G-meter outside the CFG camp ? A "Doji" candlestick pattern is often regarded across many markets as a "possible" reversal indicator - but what of CFG's "twin peaks" candle patterns ?

We mere mortals cannot predict which way the markets will move. Therefore a sound trading plan would allow for the markets to move against our trades, which it often does, by our use of stop losses to protect our account. "Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row Without a Loss" is not realistic [...]. Be leery where promises are made that you, the beginning trader, can walk away with big profits from the Forex market. This is a zero-sum market. If you won a trade, then someone else lost. Who are the "big money" traders that you are competing against ? Often they are veteran traders and banks that have their pulse on the news as it is released.

May I suggest learning about sound principles e.g. money management, technical analysis, economic releases that move the market e.g. interest rates, non-farm payrolls, Inflation indicators, etc..
