I subscribed for the past year. During this time the service materially underperformed a basic S&P Index strategy. The daily emails and trade alerts are helpful clear. It is relatively easy to follow and implement the trades. The reason it underperforms seems to be focused around reward to risk ratios. The 1st target where they recommend selling 75% usually has reward to risk that is < 1.0 while the 2nd target is < 2.0. The targets can move before being hit, but the math behind this money management suggests that a high win ratio is needed to make the numbers work. When the market drops stops do protect which is good. But it is hard to make up the losses when the targets are so tight. Additionally, after stock prices drop causing stops to be hit, the new buy signals do not happen fast enough to allow an investor to get back in to capture the next round of profits. No question they have some winners, but the overall performance is not as strong as a set it and forget it index strategy.
Praise be to GorillaTrades. I have been trading stocks with GorillaTrades for about a year, now. Ken Berman and his staff have built a stellar business model that is second to none. The Gorilla has the subscribers best interests at heart, always, with his transparency and forthright commentary in an effort to keep his subscribers on track to enjoy bigger and better gains. He isn't going to present any old recommendation. When the Gorilla makes a recommendation, chances are it will be a very good one. I recommend signing up for a GorillaTrades trial subscription. You won't regret it. Happy trading.
I've told many people about The Gorilla service.
Instead of promising unattainable pie in the sky, the service sets realistic goals backed by sensible reasoning.
For those who do not want a "set it and forget it" strategy and don't have the time or knowledge to do their own research, the service is perfect. They arm investors with actionable information and then they can pick and choose to be part of their investing process. I am very pleased with the service.
Hi my name is Fred Mazzotta, I'm 72 years old and I've been trading stocks for 35 years. In that 35 years I have used many different stock services and a lot of them are loser and just take your money. In July 2020 I started using Gorilla Trades and to my surprise I had more winners than losers that's what I like, Gorilla Trades is and excellent service and very reliable you can count on every single day during the week to receive e-mails and texts from them. They're very honest company and I enjoy Ken Berman sharing his experience and he talks about different topics on a video he sends out every Sunday. If you are on the fence about ordering this program let me assure you that this program is worth every penny and more. Make sure you do your homework before investing money in any stock. FredMazzotta
This is the second time that I have ventured into the stock market. Fortunately this time I found Gorilla Trades before I really started. I have been very impressed with the service. With a small starting account, I was able to almost make the entire subscription fee in the 45 days of the free trial. It was not a hard decision to go ahead and sign up. I would recommend this service to anybody that is wanting to start investing, as long as they really pay attention to their risk limit.
I have been trading stocks for many years and never found a source of trades that consistently provided profitable results until I subscribed to Gorilla Trades. Now, with your stock recommendations, multiple profit objectives and stoploss price inputs, I am able to sell put options on your stocks and watch my brokerage account grow exponentially, week after week. Your record of winning trades is PHENOMENAL. This is not my opinion, rather a statement of fact. I am most grateful.

I found what I was looking for years! Honest approach, clear rules, no fake. Constant professional contact with the system creator. Everything explained in the tutorial. I recommend it to anyone who dreams of building their own profitable portfolio of shares based on GorillaTrade. After two months of use, I'm at zero when it comes to balance and I'm happy with it. In addition there are interesting additions in addition to the main strategy
Hi my name is Robert Fabiano and I have been trading stocks for 18 years. I have used a few different services but have never experienced such a great service as the gorilla Trades. I have had a 90% success rate with the stock trades and the Option trades. I really like the way they monitor the stocks through out the trades always looking out for my best interest I highly recommend this service to everyone
No lies from the Gorilla. We expect always honesty and thats what we got on a daily basis. Awesome. The best in this kind of services.
When I look back over 20 years of trading and the various subscriptions I've had gorilla trades works the best for me. It makes me feel like I'm part of something good and honest.
I've subscribed to Gorilla Trades for going on two decades. I wholeheartedly recommend organization! The only regret I have is that I took a decade to test the waters. I would be far ahead had I just done what they had told me to do. These silverbacks are pure gold. They have passed everyone of my backchecks, suspicions and personal investigations. When I think of them, I think of Robert Frost and his wonderful poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay and worry that even perfection will end... Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay... and I cry at the thought. I love these guys!

I've subscribed to Gorilla Trades for 4 years, and have had consistently good results. I especially like the way the Gorilla provides buy and sell parameters, and emphasizes in every communication the importance of risk management and use of stop losses. If you want story telling and your time wasted, the Gorilla is not for you. But if you want specific trigger and confirmation levels, requiring minimal time each day, you'll find few better than the Gorilla.
Gorilla Trades is an excellent organization and gives excellent advice. I have been using them for maybe 3 years or so, so I would definitely recommend them.
I've actually made a bit of money using this service. I think the advice offered by Ken Berman is very helpful and straightforward. I recommend this program to anyone who is interested in doing their own stock trading.
I like the gorilla. You get the email each night, check out the latest stocks, and then buy whichever fits your needs. The options recs are a nice bonus too! Some people expect a service to be 100% spot on all the time, which isn't realistic- not even for buffett. I follow the gorillas recs but still do my own DD and I've made money every year with the service. I've even recommended friends and gotten a reward for each referral. I recommend the gorilla!
Their trade recommendations throughout this year have been a huge flop. They only provide bullish call spreads and recommend you invest 5k in each trade. So late last year when the correction happened i lost my shirt on their recommendations. The first problem is they don't have a stop loss system. You have to manage your entry and exit points. All they do is send you a e mail when its time to close the trade.
The success numbers they publish are not realistic at all. If you include the amount of times you would exit when your stop losses are hit those numbers would be put to shame. Basically they don't have an exit strategy at all -its a go figure out your own kind of thing.
Their customer service sucks as well-no phones just e mail. When i gave them a reality check they just stopped responding to my e mails (showing they don't care).
Last quarter of 2018 when the correction was happening they were still recommending bullish trades. They are simply losers and you don't want to pay somebody (even $499 for 2 years which is their lowest fee) to provide you with bunch of losers and no exit strategies in place.
Save your money please folks.
Nizar,
As any good investor knows, losses will occur but the important thing is to keep them smaller than your gains, and we believe we have been successful at doing just that. Furthermore, there are countless positive reviews from subscribers all over the world that refute your claims, and we believe that our results speak for themselves. As of this writing, there have been a total of 29 options recommendations made so far in 2019, four of which are still open, while 22 have closed for profits, and only three have closed for losses; an 88% success rate on the closed transactions. The Gorilla’s options recommendations had an approximate 74% success rate in 2018, but this drop was due to an overall market correction, and was not exclusive to GorillaTrades’ recommendations. That said, the entire premise of GorillaTrades is the utilization of a stop loss. No stock is ever recommended without a stop loss level accompanying it, and this level is raised weekly as the stock appreciates in the portfolio. Unlike stock trades, the Gorilla does not recommend a stop loss with options because of the extreme volatility and lack of liquidity. This is exactly why the Gorilla reiterates that GorillaTrades’ options recommendations should only be used by our most aggressive subscribers. Lastly, when offered a full refund on your entire subscription cost earlier this year, you declined to accept, and decided to continue with the service. You then proceeded to request a refund with only months left on your two-year subscription, which is the equivalent of eating ¾ of a steak at a restaurant, and asking for a refund. Plain and simple, you are attempting to extort us by posting this false review, and we will not be cooperating. The Gorilla wishes you the best of luck in all of your future investments.
I've been using Gorilla Trades for a few months now and have been quite successful. As with any investment strategy you still need to do your own research but following these guidelines has been an effective way to not only make money with them but it has made my other trading and investing more methodical and lucrative. Thank you.
Andrew, thank you for sharing your experience with GorillaTrades!

The Gorilla looks forward to providing your investment advice for many years to come, so if you have any suggestions or improvements to recommend please contact us directly at [email protected]. We would certainly value your feedback! See you in the jungle!
I heard of gorilla trades through a friend and decided to give their 30 day trial a go. What did I have to lose. To my surprise, And as a beginner investor, I quickly had everything I needed without even expecting it. Gorilla trades is not just stock tips, it's a learnable system compounded by tips and tricks delivered to you almost daily. And by following the tutorial steps during early membership, you're taught the strategies of "the gorilla", and how to put them into practice under their rule book.
The one thing I love (and what keeps me hooked) is their midday and closing day update emails. Even if you're busy and can't get a look at the markets, your inbox is pelted with a synopsis of the market at noon, and then a conclusive recap at the end of the day of what occurred and how the system's picks faired.
Originally I thought this was something I could get in and get out of, but without my midday updates and the online members area keeping tabs on all the gorilla trades picks, I'd need to make stock research my full time job.
I'm not sure what similar systems offer, but the best part was the 30 day free trial and how it takes you through the gorilla trades system in steps. Can't go wrong with this one.

I have been a very satisfied subscriber for about 3 years now (with a brief period in which I was not a member for reasons not related to the quality of the service). The overall experience is very positive and (if you follow the system carefully and can unnderstand very basic concepts) the annual subscription price pays for itself very easily.

I have been an investment advisor for over 50 years & have been subjected to all kinds of investment letters & firm recommendations through the years & I have to say that Gorilla trade has been the best I have seen. Very simple for anyone to follow. You have a stop loss figure that most advisory letters don't ever do. You have target points that hopefully you hit. When the first is hit you sell 75% & let the rest run. Most people always have trouble selling & this is very straight forward. Jim T

Both strategies are simply bonuses to the GorillaTrades subscription, as they are included at no additional cost!

Answer: Frank, The GorillaTrades service costs $499.95 on a yearly basis or $795 on a bi-yearly basis, but that is only after your Free 30-Day Trial. All you need to provide is your name and an email address to sign up for the Free Trial, there is absolutely no credit card required. Once your Free Trial is complete, you will have the opportunity to choose either the yearly or bi-yearly subscription options mentioned above. And if for any reason you are not completely satisfied with the GorillaTrades service during your free trial, simply cancel your subscription and you will not be charged a single penny. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us directly at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you in the jungle!
Answer: Ted, Absolutely! Both of the options strategies that are included with each GorillaTrades subscription are included as a bonus. Therefore, if you were an options trader that wanted to focus exclusively on the Option Ideas, you could certainly do that and easily be able to justify the cost of the subscription. However, if you were a stock trader that wanted to focus exclusively on the GorillaPicks (or stock recommendations), you could certainly do that as well. You could even opt-out of receiving any options-related emails if you would like, but you do not need to participate in the options recommendations at all in order to get the most out of your GorillaTrades subscription. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us directly at: [email protected]. We will be happy to assist you further!
