Gorilla Trades

Value and Discipline

The strongest stocks in the universe are filtered for you and delivered nightly via email for your consideration. The rules of engagement are pretty simple and can be modified depending on your style. Buy the recommended stock when the trigger price engages OR reduce your risk by waiting for volume to confirm the move. Whatever method you employ, do not try to be cute (wait for the stock to pull back after it engages, etc). Rather, take a measured approach and purchase the stock you are comfortable with and be mindful of the risk parameters. Gorilla Trades does the work for you; mind your stops and trust the process. If past results are any indication, do NOT pass up the special situation picks or "pick-lets". Although they are smaller cap and more volatile, they really are an added bonus to the service (as are the weekly option suggestions).

great service

I have tried MANY services over the years, and I have found a few that were OK. But GT is the only one I have stuck with, and for good reason! When I first started using the system in the early 2000s , I tried to outsmart the system by buying picks in aftermarket or premarket to try to get ahead, leaving me with picks that quickly reversed course and produced losses. But after I actually started following the gorillas recommendations, I have never looked back. Look-not every pick will be a winner. LOSSES HAPPEN. I have incurred MANY losers over the years, but with GT my profits ALWAYS outweigh the losses. As a matter of fact, as I write this review I currently have 17 different stocks that gorilla recommended over the last 5-6months that have double digit profits. hrg +14% aapl +17% incy +33% alb +11% tsem +25% dd+11% nflx +17% swks+23% lrcx +18% avgo+27% wal +33% …. And the list goes on. If you want to fact these numbers, go right ahead they list all of their trades – WINNERS & LOSERS for all subscribers to see

This is not my opinion, these are the facts. Truth be told, I decided to post my experience with GT after my nephew was duped into trying some “fool proof” investment strategy, which advised him to bet big… And ultimately, he lost big.Hopefully this review will steer a few investors away from the “get rich quick” programs that promise big returns and DON’T follow through. GT works

Success with GT

I was using another service during the last correction on 01/2016-02/2016 and I lost a moderate sum of money, which made me sick to my stomach and gun shy trading for the time being I started using GT and I am happy to say I made up the losses I sustained. Plus I covered my subscription cost and maintained a reasonable return even though this is a tough market that seems to lack volume. This is an excellent simple service. I have made errors using the system. I let my emotion get involved and I was shook out of some positions that a week or two later reached their first target. I missed out on a considerable profit. I know now to trust GT. Just follow the tips, set your stops and achieve success with GT.

People who complain, I assume think every trade will be a winner, but that is unrealistic expectation. You will have many winners with GT as long as you follow the tips and use confirmed picks, but don't get me wrong, some will be losers also. The service is easy to use.

The education does not teach you how to trade with a broker, but it teaches you how to use the system. It is important to follow the guidelines.

I have used systems such as vectorvest (too expensive), action alerts (long term positions with no stops implemented), leaderboard (expensive and small number of picks), but I do like IBD. Out of them all GT is the simplest, get your evening email, research potential picks, wait until they trigger and confirm, sell 75% at your first target.

I love the service and I make more money with it than without it.

Ultimately makes me more money.

Started trading with Gorilla a few years ago and hands down still the best. Some people don't understand how to use it but that is unfortunate. Nothing works 100% of the time but Gorilla will get you up there. Take your time with it and it will make you money soon enough.

Timely pics, and early enough to take action!

Finally an advisory service that gives you pics early enough to actually take action on them. Nothing more frustrating to receive notification of a trade, and by the time you get your order in, most of the move is over. The pics here are timely, and thus far, for me, have been profitable.

ive made money with it for over 15 years

I am a charter member of gorilla trades… ive been with the gorilla since the subscription started over 15 years ago. To keep it real simple… follow the system and you will make money. I have been in the market for over 30 years, ive made money in a up market and in a down market… one piece of advice to anyone who will listen: stay away from the sites with the outrageous claims. Any site that claims to have consistently beaten the market is full of it. save yourself the headache, learn from my mistakes… and STAY AWAY. With the gorilla, you don’t invest in every stock in the portfolio… ive only put my money in 3 of his recommendations so far this year and I have made more than quadrupled my subscription cost… UTHR, INCY, SKX… we are only in april folks

Performance has faded since 2009

I downloaded the Gorilla Trades spreadsheet of closed trades from 2003 until the end of 2011. The spreadsheet has about 12 incorrect cell entries in some 5000 round trip trades that I was able to correct by deduction. In addition, many of the individual stock gains/losses are in the wrong cells so I had to move those to the correct cells. There still seems to be about 100 gains/losses figures that are either missing or are still in the wrong cells. So, it has been a real chore to try to get accurate data from this spreadsheet. The biggest problem I had was trying to determine how many stocks were being held on any given day in order to calculate portfolio size and subsequently portfolio performance. Assuming an average portfolio size of 20 stocks with equal investments, I calculated the portfolio performance was up about 117% from March of 2003 until August of 2007. Then the portfolio went down about 22% until March of 2009. It has since appreciated about 13% until the end of 2011. During this whole time span it has appreciated 89% or 7.5% compounded annually ( commissions not included ). So, the portfolio went down about half as much as the S&P during the financial meltdown in 2008. But it has not appreciated nearly as much as the S&P since then. In summary, it is hard to tell what the GorillaTrade system will do in future markets since there is no clear pattern of performance. It is a proprietary technical system which is probably being tweek by the founder and thus giving the current lackluster performance. Their record keeping is poor and they have not responded to any of the errors that I have identified in their spreadsheet. Basically, I do not like systems that are unknown and subject to the whims of the owner and cannot be modeled for expected behavior.

I'm making money with it

I checked out the free trial and liked it enough to subscribe on a month to month basis. At first, I didn't add the stops, and lost money on a couple of picks. Then, one of the stocks that I would have sold, had I stopped, started to go up. It was then recommended again, and, after that, I took a much harder look at the service. I'm now long in several stocks recommended there that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

The service has "special situation picks" (aggressive picks) and "picklets" (stocks around or under $5) which it doesn't make stop recommendations on, and has an options ideas of the week, which I haven't tried.

In the last month, it started texting when to buy or sell a stock, using its methodology (recommended "trigger" and stop points).

It recommends a lot of Chinese stocks, which I won't buy, and covers stocks in all price points. My sweet spot on stocks is much lower than many of the stocks it covers, so not all of the picks are things I would consider.

The best thing about the service is that it recommends stocks that otherwise wouldn't be on my radar, and recommends exit strategies. It's making me a much more disciplined investor and, most importantly of all, it's making me money.

Good place for someone who isn't disciplined

Overall, 'Gorilla Trades has a pretty good track record... if you follow their buy / sell alerts and keep stops in place, over time you should do all right.

Some of the daily info is really good... I only did the free trial... I figured most the info. they sell I could have got somewhere else...

good for beginners.

worth the free trial for sure to see if it is for you !!!

No monkey business here

Though their gorilla theme is somewhat slapstick, I actually think they have a fairly good strategy for those that follow their picks. Their picks require certain trigger points at which time one buys when hit – they also give you the stop loss amounts to consider. All in all, I think the basics of their strategy are good for a first time trader who needs to learn discipline, especially with stop losses. They have been around for a good while now so I’d recommend taking a free trial to check it out.
