Selective Forex Trading: How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row Without a Loss

Shawn M. Wittenberg on Thu, 29th Apr 2010 9:20 pm 



I’ve read all of the reviews that this book received and I don’t think they’re wrong, I just think this book isn’t for everyone. I’m a full time independent trader and I thought the book was very helpful.

The forex can be a dangerous place, and the people that slammed this book probably should stay with their 9 to 5. If you’re a novice trader that’s looking for clear answers on how to beat the forex then you shouldn’t buy this book. After all, the title of the book is, “SELECTIVE FOREX TRADING”. It’s not “BEAT THE FOREX GUARANTEED”. If it were that easy then everyone would be trading the forex and filthy rich.

There are many tools and services available now so that the average person can take their shot at the forex and this is one of those tools. If you’re smart enough to realize that the forex has tremendous potential, both good and bad, then hopefully you’re smart enough to realize you’re going to need all the help you can get.

This book shouldn’t take the place of formal forex training, but I would highly recommend this book to anyone that’s looking for some technical help with the forex.

I Highly recommend this book for all forex traders. When you understand why the markets move to certain points and by they bounce off others, it is almost hard not to make any money.

After I purchased the book, Don himself actually helped me to fully understand what I was reading. Currently I am 38 trades in a row with NO LOSS on a LIVE account!!

Don as a teacher has gone over and above what I ever expected he would teach me and I am grateful of his time and energy. Seek out Don and learn from him. I know my life has changed because of it.

THANK YOU DON!!!!!!

Snellgrove has some good candlestick discussions in this book. He also has some fairly good information on forex trading in general. The book, however, is largely a lead-in to selling the reader additional information, products, and services. What is troubling to me is his book subtitle: “How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row without a Loss.” He states several times in the book, that to fully implement his system you must hire a mentor and must use proprietary software. Guess who provides the mentorship and the software? You are correct, his company. Searching on the “net” I came across several comments from disgruntled past customers of Snellgrove’s companies. Apparently he has charged fees in the thousands of dollars to many people and has never delivered on his promises. If I were you, I would be wary of doing much business with Don Snellgrove including purchasing this book.

I have just completed the course that this book refers to. I also read the seriously negative reviews on Don Snellgrove that have been reconstituted on a number of related sites on the Web.

All I can say without wasting time addressing the issues of slander, extortion and the necessity for the author of these sites to be expatriate, is that the reviewers on these sites cannot have done the course as they claim. The river channel for example is not simply an MA cross, neither is the ROI a MACD. The trades that are alluded to in the book (the ST, level 1 and 2 S90 for example) have greater strength as entry/target levels when certain ROI and River X confirmations align. Anyone who has done the course alluded to knows the power of confirmation to a trade that the CFG methodology provides. I have personally seen my mentor’s trading account which by the way is an integral part of the course and provides integrity to the teaching – and if 200 pips per day is bad then I guess he’s doing bad.

Prior to the course I studied the S90 applications as I had interpreted them incorrectly from the book. This misinterpretation was quickly corrected. They are in fact far more powerful than I had interpreted. But the last two levels are amazing.

I told my mentor that If I had known the course content prior to taking it I would have paid more than it’s price for the first day.

It is simply awesome. Do not be put off by negative comments by people who either listen to them without checking their validity as I had and particularly those who have obviously (to me at least) no idea what Don is talking about here.

It is all about what is influencing the thinking and how fear and ignorance can destroy people’s window of opportunity.

I bought this book 2-3 months ago. I read it then. I was a bit overwhelmed with all that was going on in the book. After a couple more months of live trading, my understanding is improving quite well. I reread the book last week, and picked up on more that I had not fully grasped. WOW ! I consistently mark the S-90s on the weekly, 4 hour, and 2 hour compressions (GBP$ only). I started the 30 minutes, but let that slip away. Working on catching up on that after I’ve seen these levels produce over and over again. No, the S-90s are not 100% right, but every time I can get an indicator to provide some target or confirmation of a trade – I’m all over it!!! Yes, I use Smart Charts that Don talks about, but this S-90 methodoly can be implemented on any charting service. Don has REAL FOREX TRADING EXPERIENCE. His other thoughts and ideas (STs, Trend Lines, Retracing, Holes in the market, Cost Averaging, etc) throughout this book was well worth the money and my time to read and reread this book. Don also noted up front in the book – if you are a successful trader, maybe you don’t need this book – why change what your doing? I’m learning. I’ve been in the market for 5 months and am looking forward to making this happen! Thanks, Don.
