Most trading education teaches you when and which buttons to press. We teach the profession: the method, the rules of the prop-firm game and get you to know the person pressing the buttons – yourself. Because trading is among the hardest jobs there is and for the majority, ends in despair. Not because trading doesn’t work, but because most programs don’t teach the most important aspects, the ones you only gain through years of experience. And almost nobody teaches prop trading – a system that provides large amounts of risk-free capital, which when done right, can be turned into a full-time, lucrative career.

Almost nobody teaches how to handle your own emotions, or why demo results fall apart on real money. It is the core of our programme, not a bonus.

We don't send entries to copy. In the highest tier, Alan, our founder, shares his own trades and walks members through how he plans, manages and closes them.
Founder's trades →05
Alan personally approves every higher-tier seat to build a mix of trading personalities in order to maximise the different ways people apprach trading and learn from each other. 60 Party Members, 30 Commissariat seats.
How we select members →06
The traps nobody talks about openly, learned the expensive way: from the first account emptied in an hour, to multiple funded accounts 15 years later, accross a number of firms, with scaling plans headed to millions in trading capital in the future.
Meet Alan →The road is long and it will change you. These are the biblical 7 stages of becoming a full-time professional trader, with honest time frames, although highly dependent on your dedication, discipline and yes, even talent.
Every stage has its own dedicated page with a more detailed explanation.
01
Stage 1 of 7
Before any money is at risk, you learn how markets move, how orders are filled and what a single trade can cost you. The key lesson is the line between trading and gambling: a defined edge, fixed risk per trade and a reason for every entry and exit. If your current strategy is “it feels like it’s going up”, you are in the right place.

Approx. time2–6 months
Trading vs. gambling →02
Stage 2 of 7
You write a trading plan and follow it on a demo account, logging every trade. Demo profit is not the goal. A meaningful sample is: enough trades to show whether your rules have an edge, and whether you actually follow them. Demo millions are easy. Just ask anyone with a screenshot.
What you work on
What we provide
Approx. time2–6 months
Demo vs. real money →03
Stage 3 of 7
Small positions on a small personal account. The amounts barely matter; the emotions do. Fear, greed and revenge trading appear the moment the money is real. This is where most people meet themselves, usually around the third losing trade in a row.
What you work on
What we provide
Approx. time3–6 months
Your own psychology →04
Stage 4 of 7
A prop firm sets a profit target and hard limits: maximum daily loss, maximum drawdown and a minimum number of trading days. Reach the target without breaking a single rule and you receive a funded account. You choose the firm and the account size, anywhere from $10,000 to $200,000. Reading the rules is part of the job; skipping the small print is the most expensive hobby in trading.
What you work on
What we provide
Approx. timeWeeks to months
Evaluations & rules →05
Stage 5 of 7
You now trade the firm’s capital under the same limits. The job changes from reaching targets to staying funded: consistent risk, no oversized days and no rule breaches. One careless session can close the account and send you a step back. Don’t panic: many traders lose their first funded account within a few months. Consider it tuition, not a verdict.

What is prop trading →06
Stage 6 of 7
Profits are split between you and the firm, usually starting at 80% for you, and paid out by bank transfer or in cryptocurrency. With BrightFunded you choose the cycle: weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. From here, the work is staying consistent, reviewing every trade and adapting as the market changes, because no strategy works forever. The first payout feels unreal. The second one proves it wasn’t luck.

What we provide
Approx. timePer firm cycle
From funded to paid →07
Stage 7 of 7
With a track record you grow. Firms offer scaling plans: with BrightFunded, your account grows by 30% every four months. Larger accounts and several firms at once spread the risk. This is where trading becomes a business. It takes years of discipline and patience, and the result is a full-time professional trader managing millions from anywhere in the world. Wi-Fi permitting.

Scaling to millions →
Besides trading, I co-founded Pressburg Mint. It started in a garage and grew into a global business with $130M in sales in 2025: a factory that literally makes money. It also taught me to trade physical precious metals, where a bad position weighs hundreds of kilos, both literally and figuratively. I write columns for leading Slovak business and economic magazines and co-founded Kilonova Business Agency, which does PR and branding with mainstream (not state-controlled) media.
Social media sells the gambling version of trading: rented supercars, 10k made in a minute and a guy who quit his job in three months. He now sells a course. The supercar went back on Monday.
It took me 10+ years, a lot of money and countless sleepless nights to go from gambler to professional. Today I trade several funded accounts under strict rules, and every trade lands in the public Comrade Trading Dashboard. Especially the ugly ones. You’ll see them right away. You don’t have to be a trading prodigy to make this your career.
Comrade Trading is the place I wish I’d had: trading education that actually works, mostly technical, plus the fundamentals you need. No lectures on RSI; it retired around the same time as the cassette tape. And a community of comrades who help each other, because hoarding knowledge is against the Directive.
Not a signal group. Not a course with a Lamborghini at the end. If anything, a Lada at the beginning and a lot of honest work after.
A plan. A five-year one.*
*Yours may take three years or eight. It’s a joke. If you were born after 1985, ask your parents.

Alan logs every trade he takes on some of the funded accounts he manages in the public Comrade Trading Dashboard: instrument, entry and exit, risk, setup, the reasoning before the trade and the review after it. The analytics show what works and what doesn’t — by setup, session, weekday, discipline score and more.
★ Available separately
Get an exact, blank copy of the Comrade Trading Dashboard: the same plug-and-play tool Alan has built over years of trading. Sold separately from the membership plans, with all future updates included as he keeps adding new features.
★ Public Comrade Trading Dashboard · real funded accounts
Ours shows every loss, every early exit and every trade taken against the plan — with what price did afterwards. You learn from the mistakes without paying for them yourself.
Amounts are shown in Party Rubles (₽), which track the US dollar roughly 1:1.
to make things easier, we have made the party ruble worthless from the get-go. unlike the dollar, which took since 1913 to lose 97% of its buying power.

The Bulletin · Every Saturday · Free for your e-mail
Every rule that can cost you an account, on one page: daily loss limits, drawdown types, consistency rules, news and weekends, payout cycles and scaling plans. Plus The Bulletin every Saturday: the week's trades and one rule explained properly.
Five formats that work together:
The member zone opens in stages, starting with written guides.
A combination you rarely find in one place:
All of it is built on years of trading with dozens of prop firms, so you also learn each firm’s specific rules, traits and quirks before they cost you an account.
No trading capital. You pay a one-off evaluation fee to the prop firm — from about 50 € for a small account to several hundred euros for a large one. That fee is the most you can lose on that account.
No. Comrade Trading is education. We publish our own trades so you can study them, not copy them. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
Not for most people. The majority of evaluations fail. Treat it as a profession you build over years — with a plan, a journal and strict risk limits — not as a shortcut.
Comrades and Party Members see every trade seven days after it happens. Members of The Commissariat see trades live, with notifications. The data is identical, losses included.
It is parody: a system with a horrible economic track record put in charge of the most economic, capitalist activity there is. We promote no political ideology — only risk management.
Start as a Comrade from 15 € a month, or apply for one of the capped seats. The plan starts on day one.
