While I am up from following them to the book, taking credit for profits on stock prices that cannot be purchased at recommended price due to increase prior to notification, is misleading or frustrating at the least.

We are sorry that you are only marginally up. We notify subscribers the evening before any new potential stock pick(s) are listed. It is then up to the individual subscriber to make their purchase upon listing, triggering, or confirming based on their risk tolerance. After 26 years in business, we certainly do not want anyone to believe we are misleading in any way. We hope your results are even better in the future.
I have changed my ratings to 4 stars, to give you another chance, and unsubscribed for the fourth time. But you still send many emails.How many times do We have to unsubscribe? You left me no other option but to give you back the one star rating, until this matter is resolved. I believe when a person unsubscribes from your email list, their wish has to be honored like other respectable companies do!

We have been in business for over 26 years. We certainly would not want to send email to anyone who does not want to receive it. We are very conscientious and we answer email within 24 hours.We also have a link at the bottom of each email. It immediately unsubscribes you. It is: https//secure.gorillatrades.com/unsubscribe.php
Since we don’t have your email address, you can either go to that link, or we will be happy to do it for you if you provide your email address.. That said, we don’t believe that this issue warrants a rating of 1.
We have heard of no other trouble of people unsubscribing from our unsubscribe link. You may have either entered the wrong email address or you may be getting email at one of your other email addresses also. If you’d like us to immediately unsubscribe you, simply send your email address and your request to [email protected] and we be more than happy to unsubscribe you. Since you have not identified yourself, it’s very difficult to go back on our system and look to see exactly what has happened.
No guesswork. Just execute on the process. Using some of the same growth and momentum analysis as Stan Weinstein, et alia, the Gorilla puts us in the winners on the way up - and sells us out when the run is done. Stay with the trend 'til the bend in the end. Easy, emotionless and effective.
I am a retired institutional equities salesman and have been using Gorilla Trades for over 15 years. I trade/invest for my own account and consider Gorilla Trades my “anchor” service. They have a screening process that produces ideas of high quality growth companies that are in established uptrends. No “story” stocks or far flung ideas-their ideas are a result of companies executing across a variety of key metrics. I started out with a risk-free trial subscription and years later, I can say that Gorilla Trades has made a difference in my investment performance. Highly recommend.
With limit capital I only trade the EXPRESS OPTIONS PICKS that the Gorilla recommends. The only exception to the process I use is if the strike price plus the contract premium is less than the Gorillas first target its a buy consideration. This process worked for me for that triggered and confirmed. my success rate has been +80%.
Tried a free trial with Gorilla Trades earlier this year and followed some of the recommendation's in my paper trading account. In June of 2024 I decided to purchase the program. I get to pick the stocks I like out of what meets Gorilla Trades criteria.
So far I'm impressed!
I would recommend this to my friends!
There is a well put together training modules available to watch and learn.
I saw the advertisement for years in the IBD that I received weekly. I was struggling with my portfolio so I decided to give the Gorilla a try. I am so happy that I did! It was Easy to understand and use. It has been a positive experience for me and glad that I have become a member.
Gorilla Trades exceeded my expectations! I've used several other stock sites over the years for recommendations, but at the end of the day, if you are fortunate enough to turn a profit, you are dependent on the service—not Gorilla Trades. My annual fee was paid for in two days of employing their strategies. I now make more trading stocks and options based on Gorilla Trades strategies, than I do my full-time job. Best of all, I'm learning as I'm earning. Ken is responsive to emails and has answered all of my questions. The best $500 I've invested is my subscription to Gorilla Trades.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
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. 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.
Gorilla trade works only when the market going up , which was fox the last 14 years , but in volatile market like 2022 till now loses money , I return was more when I invested in good companies such as MSFT , GOOGL , AAPL …, SPY , QQQ bought at low prices, Gorilla trade is in-fact sentiment investor , that’s why in volatile market is losing ,

Mike, thank you for your review. However, the information you have provided is inaccurate. We would not want these inaccuracies to dissuade anyone from trying our service. We have been in business for nearly 25 years... through many bull and bear markets. You used 2022 as an example, a year in which the Nasdaq, which includes many of the tech stock/indices that you mention have performed well for you, was down nearly 40%. As you know, as a subscriber, EVERY closed transaction is posted on our website for review at any time (going back 20 years). If you analyze 2022, you will find that even in a very challenging year, there were still more winning trades than losing trades, and there was a net profit for the year.
The ideas presented and the information is concise, the stocks advised are often reaching or near 52 week highs and they go higher - the Gorilla is solid, got some Jesse Livermore to him. The option advice has been very good this year, and if one will follow rules as explained, you will be successful. Thank you Gorilla Trades, the subscription is well worth the cost.

I have been a subscriber at Gorilla Trades for many, many years and what I specifically like is the adherence to a set of technical trading rules, which are followed to the letter. If one follows Mr. Burman's rules you will have far more winning trades than losing ones.
The guidelines are clear and if ever I divert from the rules---very occasionally--I generally make an error.
Great system, no b/s and well worth the subscription.
