GBUnderperforms S&P Index Strategy 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.

CAAfter a short learning curve and lots… After a short learning curve and lots of practice, how Gorilla trades could best fit my own trading style became clear. Now that clarity has resulted in many successful trades and very few losing trades. The successful trades' gains far exceed the losing trades' losses.

GBThe might sounds of the Jungle I've been in Gorilla Trades for almost two years now and was disappointed in the beginning, since the Market fell and Gorilla Trades also took some hits, but since the Market has headed back north, Ken has been doing an admirable job with his Gorilla picks, with nearly every pick that I've bought showing gains. It's just a matter of staying the course and riding out the storms. David Lubin

GBMy preference for Gorilla Trades I recommend and remain with Gorilla Trades as a profitable stock-trading system that is easy to learn and follow. Compared to other methods I have tried (Investools, Jim Cramer, Investors.com) Gorilla Trades takes the least homework and is the purest technical play, which fits my belief of going where the money is. It tends to catch stock prices before they make a big move out of the bottom of a base, rather than at a later base-breakout or a bounce off a rising moving-average. The biggest challenge is to select stop losses (based on high RTR) in anticipation of a market correction, or to endure the impressive portfolio drawdowns during a correction.
