Discord is not
built for traders
Signal channels, trading journals, leaderboards, courses, AI assistant, and premium tiers — everything a trading community needs, in one platform. Stop duct-taping Discord + Teachable + Stripe together.

The problem
Your trading community is running on the wrong tools
Discord for chat. Teachable for courses. Stripe for payments. Excel for tracking. You are duct-taping 4 platforms to do what one should handle.
Discord has no trading-native features
No trading journal. No signal thread structure. No performance leaderboard. You are using a gaming chat app to run a financial community and wondering why serious traders leave.
No way to monetize signal content
You post signals for free because Discord has no paywall. Your best analysis goes to 200 freeloaders and your 12 paying members get the same experience.
Retention falls off a cliff after month one
Members join for one good trade, then go quiet. No streak, no journal to maintain, no leaderboard to chase. Churn is your default state.
Performance data is scattered and unverifiable
Members claim wins in a chat message. No structured way to track entries, exits, R/R, or community-wide performance. No credibility for prospects.
Education content lives on 3 different platforms
Courses on Teachable, community on Discord, payments on Stripe. Members juggle logins. You juggle subscriptions. Nobody is happy.
Zero organic growth engine
No referral system. No affiliate program. Every new member requires your active marketing effort. Growth stops when you stop promoting.
13 trading features
Everything your trading community needs
Every feature designed for how traders actually think, learn, and operate — not repurposed from a gaming platform.
Trading Journal
Members log entries, exits, R:R, timeframes, and psychology notes. Auto-calculated stats — win rate, profit factor, drawdown, average R. The journal brings members back every day.
Signal Channels
Dedicated channels with structured post templates: asset, direction, entry, stop, target, timeframe. Bullish/Bearish sentiment votes. TradingView chart embeds.
Performance Leaderboard
Monthly rankings by win rate, R/R ratio, or total gains. Top 3 podium. Healthy competition drives daily engagement and gives top members social status worth keeping.
Instant Signal Alerts
Premium members get instant push notifications + email when a signal is posted. Alert templates auto-fill entry details. Zero gap between signal and execution.
Owner Copilot — Operate by Chat
Admin-only AI copilot that runs your community on command. "Create a #trading-live channel", "Ban this member", "Enable the journal module", "How many members joined in the last 30 days?". 18 wired actions, complete audit trail, zero clicking through 12 admin menus.
Paid Tiers — 0% Platform Cut
Free tier for discovery. Pro tier for live signals and journal access. VIP tier for 1-on-1 analysis. Built-in payments. You keep 100% of revenue. Zero transaction fees.
Economic Calendar
High-impact events (NFP, CPI, FOMC) integrated in your community feed. Color-coded by impact. Live discussion threads for each event. Members never miss a catalyst.
Asset Watchlist
Members track forex pairs, crypto, indices, and commodities in a single dashboard. Live price updates, percentage changes, category filters, and price alerts — so nobody misses a setup.
Course Builder
Full LMS inside your community. Video and markdown lessons, quizzes, progress tracking, and certificates. No separate Teachable or Kajabi subscription. Members learn where they trade.
Referral & Affiliate System
Built-in affiliate program with tiered commissions — 20% monthly, 15% annual, 8% lifetime. Members earn by bringing new traders. Organic growth on autopilot.
Gamification & Rewards
XP, levels, streaks, badges, and weekly challenges. Members earn rewards for logging trades, completing courses, and staying active. Turns engagement into a habit.
Coffee Chat Matchmaking
AI-powered 1-on-1 matching between members based on trading style, experience, and interests. Builds real relationships — not just another group chat.
Full White-Label
Your domain. Your logo. Your colors. Zero Bonfire branding. Members see YOUR platform. Installable as a PWA — feels like your own native app.
See it in action
Real screenshots — not mockups
This is what your members see when they log in. Every pixel is real, every feature is live.
Screen 1 / 6
Trading Journal
Every trade logged with its direction, status and result in R and dollars. Total P&L, win rate and trade count are computed automatically, and a journal leaderboard ranks members on their own records.
Screen 2 / 6
Signal Feed
Structured calls with entry, stop loss, take profit and R:R. Once a call is published its levels are frozen: nobody edits a losing call after the fact. Results are reported on each card.
Screen 3 / 6
Channels
Spaces for your community, trading and premium rooms. Threads, reactions, mentions and unread counts that follow members across devices.
Screen 4 / 6
Courses
Your curriculum lives inside the community: courses, lessons and progress, next to the conversation instead of in another tool.
Screen 5 / 6
Events
Weekly reviews, masterclasses and Q&A sessions, online or in person, with one-click RSVP.
Screen 6 / 6
Member Home
Each member lands on their level, their streak and the latest activity of the community, with the next thing to do one click away.

Why this exists
Built by a trader who runs a 300-member community
I spent 3 years managing a trading community on Discord. I built Bonfire because Discord was never going to solve the problems I had.
Why I built this
Traders in my own community — I built this for myself first
Trading-native features Discord will never build
