I NEVER KNEW THEY WERE THIEVES
October 21, 2025

One of the first warning signs was when I tried to withdraw a portion of my funds, but encountered difficulties in doing so. Customer support was unresponsive, and my requests for assistance went unanswered. I started to feel a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, realizing that something was seriously wrong.
And then, the inevitable happened. When I tried to log into my account one day, I was met with an error message stating that my account had been suspended. Panic set in as I realized that I had lost access to all the funds I had invested. The money that I had worked so hard for was now gone
Richmond restored my funds. Whatşápp: + {44 73}__7_82__70_609

Stay away from this scam!
September 10, 2025

I came across what seemed like a great investment opportunity at first. The website looked very professional, and after speaking with their manager, I felt confident enough to invest $46,000 into my trading account. In the beginning, the trades were successful and the returns were impressive. But then, out of nowhere, everything fell apart. They locked me out of my account and blocked access to the website. No warnings, no explanations-just complete silence. I tried reaching out multiple times, but all I got were empty promises of refunds that never came through. Thankfully, I didn't waste time waiting i reach out to an agency that knows what they doing and i was able to get a refund of all my funds. I got refunded by the number on my profile photo

They literally stole money. About 1k off my account. A female on a power trip. Watch out. Wolf in sheeps clothing. Stay away from this broker. Outright theft and they just ignore you.

Gorilla Trader Works!
February 22, 2022

Gorilla Trader is a unique investor system. Based on principles of value and momentum analysis, it provides a straightforward manner of investment. Subscribers receive frequent and clear communication. Over the 5-6 years I have been with the system, I have learned a lot about making controlled, disciplined decisions which is the great advantage of Gorilla Trader. The system succeeds both in growing and in protecting assets. I highly recommend trying the system for a reasonable period of time so you can decide for yourself.

I want to unsubscribe from getting these useless emails but it won't let me. I get about 4-5 a day and tell me nothing. They are just annoying

Gorilla Trades does it right
December 5, 2021

Gorilla Trades covers all of the critical things you'd want out of a trading service. It is rare to find a service that makes public their track record from day one! Gorilla Trades does that. Communications? Gorilla Trades gives a mid-morning update, a daily after the close report and a weekend update. Anything that happened to one of their recommendations gets discussed, not hidden and forgotten. There is also a text service that notifies you of any actions taken on their recommendations. Their initial recommendation will provide the entry price, the stop loss price, where to take first and second profits. Adjustments to these levels are clearly stated when made. Their money management strategy is just one of the things that sets Gorilla Trades apart from the rest. If you have any questions, an email gets a fast reply. Gorilla Trades covers all the bases thoroughly.

Excellent for Trading advice.
December 3, 2021

My brother introduced me to Gorilla Trades. It has been fantastic. It provides advice for WHAT companies to invest in, WHEN to invest in that company, and WHEN to get out. Gorilla provides charts of the performance of stocks they recommend. The head man provides video answers to questions from subscribers on a weekly basis. Subscribers get weekly emails with new recommendations and stocks that are strong enough to desire additional investment. They also provide adjusted target prices and stops when conditions are right for the stocks they recommend. In addition, on a yearly basis they provide new subscribers and current subscribers package savings on the subscription price. I really appreciate what they provide and how they provide it.

Gorilla Trades, A good Investment
November 7, 2021

Just now
GORILLA TRADES, A GOOD INVESTMENT
Gorilla Trades has been a very wise choice for my portfolio over the last 5 years. In that time Fidelity tells me that my cumulative % result is a bit more than 172%, that's hard to beat my many standards.
I love that Gorilla Trades keeps it simple too, my background is not in finance, how ever with my results you would surely think it was. Gorilla Trades is perfect for beginners and the most advanced, I highly recommend you give it a try.

Great stock research service
September 24, 2021

I have been using Gorilla Trades for a while now and have been very pleased with the research as well as the market commentary. The content on the website is full of ideas that will make you money if you follow the rules that the Gorilla has developed. In fact, during my 30-day free trial, I invested in a company that was covered and have made enough profits to cover the next 20 years of my subscription.

Good but not Great
August 30, 2021

Gorilla Trades is the best stock investment web site I have encountered, although it is not as impressive as the Gorilla would lead you to believe. Let's review its actual performance from June 1,2021 to the end of August. During these 63 trading days, 52 selected Gorilla picks triggered and 38 of these also confirmed. Of the 38 triggered and confirmed picks, 17 reached their first targets, 14 hold unrealized gains that average 1.18%, and 7 of the 38 dropped below their stop loss prices.
Of the 14 that triggered but have not yet confirmed, 7 dropped below their stop loss prices while the 7 others remain active in the current Gorilla Trades portfolio with a "Not Yet Confirmed" classification and unrealized losses that average 0.13%.
However, if one looks at the end-of-August Gorilla Portfolio only 38 of the 52 triggered Gorilla picks are present, the 17 that confirmed and reached their first targets, the 7 that confirmed and hold unrealized gains, and the 7 that triggered but have not yet confirmed. Some have mistakenly assumed that these 38 "active" stocks are the only ones that were picked by Gorilla Trades from July through August, an erroneous assumption that substantially enhances the Gorilla Trades performance.
What the Gorilla's portfolio cleverly (some may say deceptively) omits are the 14 triggered stocks that dropped below their stop loss prices, 7 of which were confirmed. What is true in this case is that in the 63 trading days from June 1 to August 30,17 of 52 triggered Gorilla picks have reached their 1st target prices thus far, while 14 dropped below their stop loss prices. The remaining 21 remain in the portfolio with slight positive average gains, but an uncertain future, especially the longer they remain.
Although the above observations do not support the "explosive" upward moves the Gorilla expounds for his daily picks I believe the overall performance of Gorilla Trades is still impressive (and potentially unbeatable) because investors can and do avoid the purchase of unconfirmed picks and the retention of confirmed picks with unrealized losses.

Gorilla Trades Wins, Hands Down!
August 25, 2021

I've been a Gorilla trades subscriber for quite a while and decided to start trading options again after not doing so for a couple of years.

From June 16 through August 20, I won on 8 of 8 Gorilla Trades option ideas, plus 3 of my own and more than doubled my account in 9 weeks! My only mistake (regret) was not trading the LULU options recommended by Gorilla Trades because they would have been winners too!

The cost of Gorilla Trades annual subscription is a drop in the bucket compared to the return I've been able to generate.

Thank you, Gorilla Trades!

THE REAL DEAL
June 25, 2021

Here's one for your potential subscribers. I have 5 days left on my free trial & I am SUPER PLEASED. I do it differently because I have a small account & I love options. I take the trades called & purchase options for a short time. I look at Heikin Ashi charts to see how long a run usually lasts & purchase 3 times that average run. So if it is an average 8 day run to the up side, I will look for an option expiring close to 24 days out. I purchased 1- RMD to expire on 6-18-21 on 5-28-21 & sold it today for $ 2,080.00. Made $ 360.00 on EBAY, $ 125.00 on SIRI, lost $ 240.00 on WAB. I'm up on AAP, CRI, LULU, HR & PLAB. I'm down on NUS & MCD at the moment. So I have, well many times over, paid for my subscription that I just subscribed to today after my 30 day free trial is up. Ken is real. Thank you sir.

APE OVER GORILLA TRADES
March 28, 2021

I started using Gorilla Trades on 1/21/2021 after trying the free trial they offered. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of the picks offered. I have a very small trading account and only buy options. This is not recommended by the founder, Ken Berman, but it is what works for me. I have found that if I go out several months this strategy seems to work. I have noticed even during some of the recent volatility these stocks hold up. I don't look for big gains but 50% to 100% in 1 to 4 weeks is OK with me. I do miss out on some big winners but the gradual increase is fine with me. I don't mind reentering a trade either due to the low fees charged. I have done both straight options and vertical call spreads. Always a little buyer's remorse when a stock spikes and money was left on the table. I have been totally impressed so far. Ken's daily recap and advice is a great benefit……... Joe P.

Consistent
March 26, 2021

I made my 1st gorilla trade 5/24/20 and just closed #24 on 3/24/21. Overall return on my account is 15%, plus I incidentally picked up an additional $1295 in dividends while holding my trades. A nice bonus the gorilla hasn't mentioned. By the way, I started out using the free trial and made enough money during the trial to pay for the subscription. Their best advice is to always have an exit strategy. Regards, Anthony

Great Service
February 22, 2021

I use gorilla trades service side by side with Investors Business Daily. I just started to use Gorilla trades for less then a year, but I have made money on all 5 of the sites recommendations. I do not know how good the performance is in a bear market because we have been in an uptrend for the past 6 months. Highly recommend, you will pay off the subscription in 0ne trade

Amazing Service
January 22, 2021

I've been a subscriber of Gorilla Trades for many years. The service is amazing. Very easy to use and the stocks picks are spot on. The cost of the annual subscription is worth every penny. One trade pays for it many times over. I love the simplicity of the Gorilla Trades process. Every pick comes with a full analysis of the company, risks and rewards. Each pick comes with an entry, stop and two targets. The website is full of information to help you make money. The Gorilla app is awesome as well. I love this service as it helps me make money and save time. Highly recommend Gorilla Trades. Awesome Service!

Underperforms S&P Index Strategy
December 21, 2020

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.
