Just been perusing my email from Global Investor bookshop.
I have already ordered this book, and will receive it early next week.

I was really taken by the synopsis, I thought I ought to see what the fuss was about, and didnt want to wait before letting you guys know about it.
Could be a dud, but I am a sucker for a Crossover!
(wonder what the "S" is all about)


below is relevant paragraphy from the email:

2. New: Don Snellgrove's Selective Forex Trading

Crossover, an independently verified technical indicator that has provided traders

Gi Bulletin Bookshop : Selective Forex Trading: How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row without a Loss - by Don Snellgrove

EDIT: in order to pre-empt any "if it was so good, why sell it" type responses; even if it wasnt so good, and has only 30 trades before a loser, surely it is upto us to extract the relevant useful bits and discard the rubbishy bits. Its all about collecting the little nuggets and adding to a larger plan.

Well you see, I am interested in it now.

Sorry Trendie, I think I might give this one a miss:

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Selective Forex Trading: How to Achieve Over 100 Trades in a Row Without a Loss (Wiley Trading)

Crap Buddist

Good luck with it trendy, sounds like one needs to highlight trends, extreme extensions in trend weakening then I assume the S90 cuts in or when you identify the cluster of variables, wait till the S 90 crosses.

Look forward to any review you may provide and hope its doesnt turn out to be a cluster F***over ..

You never know how these things pan out trendie. There might be something contained in there that sparks off a bit of interest.

awsl

any feedback? what is S/90 Crossover?

LMAO ... awsl ... you didn't follow the link to Amazon for the WORST reviews I've ever seen.

I liked:
"I am usually able to find something worthwhile in a book but this one was an exception."
"I am surprised Wiley published this marketing piece."
"I gave this book 1 star only because it wouldn't let me give it zero."

and yes, that's from 3 different reviews.

What's the indicator you ask:
"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."
