First meet the Gorilla back in 2005-06. At that time I was a stock picker (more like a stock dreamer) working a full time job. Tried the service, was not that impressed. It cost more then I ever made on a stock in 1 trade. Everything seem to be to high for me to trade. I did not know what I did not know. Fast forward to 2022 I became a full time trader now, trading everything. Options level 3, Forex, etc. I went looking for the Gorilla. Took another test drive into the jungle. This time I ant coming out. Simply one of the best stock services out there. Period.

Thorough and Profitable Stock Trading Service
Gorilla Trades is the best stock picking service I have ever subscribed to. Their stock recommendations are based on their trading system, which provides very specific information about the stocks to purchase with sell stops on when to sell. Follow the Gorilla's advice and make profitable stock trades. Each day via email I receive a mid-day market analysis and a thorough market report at the end of the trading day. I have subscribed for years and following the Gorilla's recommendations has helped secure and finance my retirement.

Long time subscriber very happy with GorillaTrades.
I’m not the first subscriber but I have been with GorillaTrades almost as long as Ken has offered it. I find the service very helpful in my daily trading. I really like Ken’s alerts. You have to take the time to learn the basis of the GorillaTrade system and understand “Risk Rating”, Return-to-Risk Ratio and the difference between “Triggered” and “Confirmed” (and how you want to play it). Ken provides a cleaver 2-tier Target system, Stop Loss price and easy tracking of distance from the targets. He presentation is not big on fancy dials or interactive graphics but the data is clear, organized and all there at your fingertips.
I disagree with a few recent reviewers who say that Ken is not transparent or you won’t learn anything. GorillaTrades provides a Closed Transactions page with all the info on trades (win or lose). If you follow Ken’s system you learn discipline regarding when to take profits which is an important element of trading.
If you are options savvy Ken provides an Option Idea of the Week which is something you don’t find with many stock picking services.
I think GorillaTrades is a good value and I highly recommend trying it.

This is a very good stock picking service.
I've been a Gorilla Trades subscriber for about 5 years, and I've been trading stocks for 30. Their recommendations are conservative, timely and are rated for risk on a 1 to 5 scale. Their picks will trigger at a preset price and will confirm on a preset volume. They advise waiting for confirmation if you want to minimize your risk. They email a midday summary of the market and send a daily email after market close. The website includes tutorials on using their system that includes a glossary of terms and a quiz to check your understanding of their system. They are always quick to respond to emailed questions or comments. The market does go up and down, so if you're not wanting to ever risk any money, you should not be trading. I'm happy with their service and am very comfortable giving it 5 stars.

Gorilla Trades - Not as transparent as they claim
They claim to be transparent about their losing trades, and they are. The problem is how they are marketing their services which do not include a calculation for their losing trades. They refuse to provide that comprehensive view and would prefer to lose you as a customer if you press them on it. I'm amazed that they've made it this far without getting more scrutiny from FTC, SEC, BBB, etc.
Your reply to TrustPilot was the same as it was in several emails to me, so it appears you still don't understand the problem. What you do wrong is make exaggerated claims about your returns in your marketing and other aspects of securing new customers. I recommended updates to the website as well as it appears it hasn't been updated in 25 years.
Response from Gorilla TradesSep 16, 2024
We appreciate you taking the time to express your concern. GorillaTrades has been in business for 25 years, and we are very transparent in listing ALL gains and losses on our Closed Transactions page, to which all subscribers and trial subscribers have access. All of the information from EVERY trade is provided so those who would like to make their own calculations can do so. We are not a mutual fund, and the Gorilla does NOT purchase his own stock picks since it could be construed as front-running, an illegal practice. We simply list stop and target achievements on this page as a reference. That said, in reviewing the communication between you and GorillaTrades, we found that you requested us to provide you with total returns based on purchasing EVERY GorillaPick. We explained that no subscriber could (or should) realistically purchase every GorillaPick presented. If you did, you would be WAY over-diversified. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to calculate an annualized return since purchasing every GorillaPick goes directly against what we teach our subscribers to do.
Follow up on your claim about "making exaggerated claims about your returns in your marketing." We make no overall performance claims in our ads. A vast majority of investors are highly intelligent, and know very well that there will always be some losses when investing in the stock market. However, the key is to "win" more than you "lose" and keep the average loss at a fraction of your average win. This is the backbone of our system. As for updating the website, it is updated daily with results and has had numerous major overhauls over the years. Thank you again for your input!

Gorilla Trades is Investing King of the Apes
I have been a Gorilla investor for a few years now, getting in before COVID hit and of course, then the poop hit the fan, but since then I've been very pleased with Gorilla Trades. If you follow Ken's guidelines, it's hard to lose, although, honesty, not every stock makes it, but I would say at least 75% of them, especially when the market is doing well. I am not that savvy an investor, I have most of my funds in a managed IRA and Trust and they've been doing quite well, but I play with Gorilla Trades in a separate account. Typically, anything that I think is hot and invest in cools quickly, but for some reason Ken Berman knows how to play them and when to fold them too. You get text messages alerting you to when a trigger price is reached and then when to sell a stock whether it's for profit or loss. Emails will keep you abreast of daily goings on and future picks and how current picks are doing. The website is also very useful with spreadsheets of all the picks showing trigger prices, confirmation prices, stop loss prices, 1st and 2nd profit sell of prices too. It's hard to go wrong with Gorilla Trades and really takes no knowledge of how to deal with the volatile market. I don't do options or trade short, so don't have to worry. The Gorilla doesn't short but does offer option ideas that seem very successful from what I gather.
Customer service is awesome too, with quick responses to questions or concerns about your account. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong investing with Gorilla Trades.

This service is the real deal
This service is the real deal. Great picks and education. It has given me educated exposure to the stock market. My journey has been inspiring. My overall performance has exceeded my expectations. My portfolio has increased by very close to 50%. I haven’t invested in all the picks, but most of them I have invested in have been money makers and I’ve been able to grow my money for my retirement which really has felt great. The owner has been helpful, encouraging, and patient and seems quite interested in your journey and success.
