Selective Forex Trading is for beginning, intermediate, and advanced traders who need to increase the odds of successful trades by making precise entries. This means making precise decisions regarding entry selections. This book is for those of you who need to have sustaining income as you develop your personal trading skills.
Introduction:
This book is not intended for successful traders who have found a procedure that works, and the information contained within this book is in no way intended to put down other methodologies, traditional trading procedures, or trading styles.
The approach presented in this book is a different type of methodology that uses nontraditional proprietary trading tools and must not be integrated with traditional methodology. Merging traditional tools that use other mathematical calculations, patterns, and procedures into these new concepts may cause losses.
Change and modernization of trading tools, or simply change, may offend experienced traders; again, allow me to reiterate that this is not my intention in writing this book. My suggestion is that if you are successful and happy with your present status regarding trading success and profits, then why read this book? “If it isn’t broken, then don’t fix it,” as some would say; however, if you feel you have not arrived as a successful forex trader, then read on—because maybe this book is just what you have been searching for. The methodology explained and illustrated throughout this book is only one of many approaches to trading the forex.

I am usually able to find something worthwhile in a book but this one was an exception. The book is full of unexplained terminologies and contains very little description of the indicators the methodology dwells upon. There is continuous reference to “using a mentor” to understand it better, which happens to be the author’s company if you want to use their techniques.
I never expected to achieve what the title promised but did not feel that the book contributed anything to what I already knew.

Don Snellgrove is by far the most committed educator I have encountered in any form of business/professional training. His deep understanding of the Forex market is often missed because of his ability to simplify information for the beginning student. For anyone who has wasted their time with writers who can’t back up their theories, Don’s information is incredibly valuable.

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!!!!!!

This is one of those utter rubbish that was hastily written not to instruct or inspire but to sell their services, products, and peddle more utter rubbish. Total waste!

I have spent my fair share of money on trainings and books and courses etc… Don Snellgrove is by far the most sincere, caring, intelligent and honest mentor I have come in contact with. What you learn from Don is how to think like a trader which allows you to become a trader. This book is not a get rich quick method, but if you want to become a student of the market this book will be in invaluable part of your arsenal. If you want to know how to determine where the market is headed you need to learn about the S90 Crossover that is explained in “Selective Forex Trading.” Do you get out of trades too early just to see them move a lot more in the same direction? Would you like to know where the market is more likely to go? Then read this book. I took the course from Don and am so glad that I did. It is changing my life and it will change yours too.

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.

Don’t buy this book. It’s one long sells pitch for his companies. This book is a complete waste of money. I would not accept even for free.

I share the sentiments of previous reviewers, and wish to encourage prospective buyers of this book to pay attention to those critical reviews. If there are any questions remaining, just “Google” the author’s name for more information, or go directly to the cftc.gov website (US Commodity Futures Trading Commission), and search his name for complaints and judgments against him.

I began a demo account in Feb of 2010. After 2 months of instruction and trading I felt confident enough to open a live account. Currently, I have cleared in profit over 8,000 using Don’s methods in the last 3 months. I also subscribe to SmartCharts. The book IS a challenging read, but totally accurate in it’s methodology. IF you have the patience and the desire, this book can unlock a deeper understanding of the Forex market. His method is described in detail. His methods are then further demonstrated in the format of a proprietary charting package called SmartCharts. I have contacted the ForexGoldMarkets company on many occasions to have these methods further explained when necessary. The staff is helpful and quick to respond. They hold webinars every month to help assist anyone needing additional instruction. Granted, this is a small company but herald a cohesive and fantastic system. Kinda reminds me of Apple so long ago. If you want the best, be different than the other 90% that fail at forex and get the best information out there. You can succeed! If I can do it, I think anybody can.

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!

I am an experienced forex trader and after reading this book consider it to be just a scam to purchase further products. Dont walk, run!!!

I have read this book at least four times. I learn something new or pick something out of it new every time i read it. This book contains a lot of knowledge and market interpretation. This book teaches you how to make a career out of the forex and thank you for taking the time to do so. I subscribe to the charts used in the book and i have for some time. Don is as sincere and honest as you could ever ask someone to be in life. He has a genuine desire for other peoples success in life. I am a believer in the methods taught in his book and his DAILY LIVE webinar that he provides because of his desire to HELP and TEACH others. How many other successful mentors provide this service? Thanks Don, you are good Christian role model and keep it up. I look forward to the next book.

I have 5 years trading experience and came across this book by accident in a library. I was so shocked by the poor quality of the book, hence my review. The information in this book is pretty much diabolical. It contains mostly waffle with at least two nuggets of information which can be found free on the web about support becoming resistance and vise versa. Throw on some fibonacci to see if it matches up or not, not much else to really take from this ‘book’.
Most of the book is this guy Don, advertising his services. He posts trade results of a couple of his (imaginary?) students. He interviews his students and it just sounds completely made up as it basically repeats everything the author has said. That’s the oddest thing about this book is that he constantly repeats himself over and over again in different ways. Why? He has absolutely nothing to offer you and its all filler.
The whole point about being a successful trader is NOT winning or losing. It’s about controlling risk and managing your trades. Professional traders have many losses and still come out ahead. Attempting to gain 50 or 100 trade wins in a row misses the point completely and is a completely wrong mind set that is actually detrimental to your trading capital.
I am not surprised that Wiley trading published this. They have printed some absolutely diabolical trading books through the years. If you are new to trading you should avoid such books from this publisher in my opinion, particulalry this book.

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.

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.
