About Bulenox

Bulenox has been running since February 2022 from the United States under CEO Chris Salzarulo, which makes it one of the oldest futures prop firms still trading. It holds on Trustpilot across reviews. Everything routes through Rithmic, which opens the door to twenty-one platforms — the widest access anywhere in futures prop.

The lineup is a grid rather than a list. Three plans — Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum — each sold in two risk models, Option 1 intraday trailing or Option 2 end of day, across four sizes from $25K to $150K. Twenty-four accounts in total, and you pick the risk model and the payment structure independently.

Start with the risk model, because it changes how you actually trade. Option 1 follows your equity in real time, including unrealised profit, so every new high lifts the floor the instant it prints and a spike you fail to bank permanently narrows your room. In exchange it carries no daily loss limit at all. Option 2 updates once a day from the closing balance, so intraday swings are invisible unless you are still holding at the bell — and adds a daily loss limit plus, on Qualification, a scaling plan that moves your contract limit with your balance.

Either way the drawdown eventually stops. On a Master account it locks permanently at your starting balance plus $100 — $50,100 on a 50K, reached once the account touches $52,600 — and locking also removes the Option 2 daily loss limit for good.

Then the plan, which is a question of when you pay. Qualification is the classic evaluation: cheapest up front, but passing triggers a separate activation fee of $143.00 to $498.00. Fast Track skips the qualification stage entirely — buy once, trade funded from day one, no activation fee, no deadline. Momentum covers both stages in one payment, so the Momentum Master is activated free.

That makes the sticker prices misleading. A 25K Qualification Option 1 is $15.95 against Momentum at $56.40, but add the $143.00 activation and Qualification costs $158.95 all-in. Momentum is the cheaper route to a funded account on every size. Qualification only wins if you are buying attempts you expect to fail, since a failed account never triggers its activation fee — and a reset is a flat $78.

The split is 100% on your first $10,000 of payouts, then 90%. That $10,000 is counted once per trader across every Fast Track and Master account, not per account, so opening more does not reset it. Allocation reaches $750,000.

The evaluation itself is about as light as futures prop gets. One session is enough to pass, there is no consistency rule until you are funded, and 30 days of access on Qualification and Momentum. Bulenox counts a trading day only when you open at least one trade.

Getting paid works differently on each plan, which is the part most reviews flatten. Master accounts need 10 individual trading days, a 40% consistency score and a Safety Threshold Reserve of $1,600 to $4,600 left in the account, processed weekly on Wednesdays. Fast Track has no day requirement at all — it gates on profit goals, with consistency escalating 20% to 25% to 30%, and pays the same day. Momentum needs five profitable days of $100 to $250 each and a 35% score.

One detail worth more attention than it gets: the Master 40% rule never resets. Total P&L accumulates across the whole trading period rather than restarting each cycle, so a single enormous day early on follows you for the life of the account. Almost every other futures firm restarts the calculation after each payout.

Bulenox is unusually permissive on strategy. News trading is allowed with no blackout at all — trade straight through CPI, FOMC and NFP. Algorithmic and automated trading is permitted, scalping has no minimum hold time, martingale is allowed inside the margin and contract limits, and copy trading works between your own accounts. Very few futures firms allow all five.

What it does not allow is swing trading. The session runs 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM CT and every position must be flat by 3:59 PM CT, so nothing is held overnight or over a weekend. Same-account hedging is out too. You can run up to five Master-level accounts at once in any combination, with Qualification accounts unlimited, all under one Rithmic User ID.

Markets cover the CME board — equity index (ES, NQ, YM, RTY, EMD, NKD), energy (CL, NG, RB and the minis), metals (GC, SI, HG, PL), currencies (6E, 6B, 6J, 6A and the e-micros), agriculturals (ZW, ZS, ZM, ZL, ZO, HE, LE, GF), crypto futures (MBT, MET) and the full micro suite (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K). Commissions are charged per side, on entry and on exit.

Programs & Modes

Qualification

The classic evaluation and the cheapest way in. A 6% target with no consistency rule until you are funded and one session enough to pass it, on 30 days of access. The catch is the activation fee of $143.00 to $498.00 when you pass, which on a 25K is nine times the discounted price. A failed account resets for a flat $78. Sizes 25K to 150K, from $15.95 on Option 1 or $36.25 on Option 2.

Profit Split: 100% on the first $10,000, then 90%

Target $1,500–$9,000 | Max Loss $1,500–$4,500 | Contracts 3–15 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time 30 Days | Activation $143–$498

Fast Track

No qualification stage at all — buy once and trade a funded account from day one. There is no profit target and no deadline, just a first payout goal of $1,500 to $9,000 by size and then new profit each cycle after that. Consistency escalates 20% to 25% to 30%, there is no activation fee, and payouts are processed the same day. Sizes 25K to 150K, from $202.80.

Profit Split: 100% on the first $10,000, then 90%

Target None | Max Loss $1,000–$5,500 | Contracts 2–15 Minis | Min Days None | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee

Momentum

One payment covers the qualification stage and the Master account, so the Master is activated free. The same 6% target as Qualification on a tighter drawdown, 30 days of access and same-day payout processing. Payouts need five profitable days and a 35% consistency score. All-in it is the cheapest route to a funded account here. Sizes 25K to 150K, from $56.40.

Profit Split & Payouts

Every plan pays 100% on your first $10,000 of payouts and 90% after, counted once per trader across all Fast Track and Master accounts rather than per account. Beyond that the three plans share almost nothing. Master accounts need 10 individual trading days, a 40% consistency score that never resets, a Safety Threshold Reserve of $1,600 to $4,600 and a $1,000 minimum, processed weekly on Wednesdays with requests in by 11:59 PM CT Friday. Fast Track has no day requirement, unlocking instead at a profit goal of $1,500 to $9,000 and then new profit each cycle, with consistency at 20%, 25% and 30%. Momentum needs five profitable days netting $100 to $250 each, a 35% score and a balance of $26,500 to $156,500. Fast Track and Momentum requests in before 12:01 PM CT are ordinarily paid the same day. Money goes out by ACH, wire or PayPal with no fee from Bulenox.

Allowed Restricted Prohibited

News Trading Allowed

Allowed within all risk limits. Trade straight through the economic calendar — CPI, FOMC, NFP — with no blackout windows, no forced position closing and no penalties.

Algorithmic & Automated Trading Allowed

Permitted on every plan and both risk models.

Scalping Allowed

Allowed with no minimum hold time.

Copy Trading Allowed

Allowed between your own accounts. Connecting to Rithmic through a third-party API or Trader Composite Software carries a $100 monthly fee from the provider, and Bulenox is not responsible for outages or losses on those tools.

One Day to Pass Allowed

Bulenox sets no minimum or maximum trading day requirement, so a Qualification or Momentum account can be cleared in a single session by hitting the target. A trading day is only counted when you open at least one trade. Fast Track has no qualification stage at all.

Martingale Allowed

Permitted, provided you stay inside the platform margin requirements, contract limits and risk parameters.

No Consistency Rule While Qualifying Allowed

Neither Qualification nor Momentum applies one before you are funded. Fast Track has no qualification stage, so its rule applies from the start.

Standard and Micro Together Allowed

Standard and micro contracts can be traded at the same time. One standard contract equals ten micros.

Hitting the Daily Loss Limit Is Not a Violation Allowed

On Option 2, reaching the daily limit disables trading for the rest of the session and nothing more. It is not a rule breach, and trading resumes automatically next session.

Up to Five Master Accounts Allowed

Five Master-level accounts at once — Master, Fast Track and Momentum Master in any combination. Qualification accounts are unlimited, and everything sits under one Rithmic User ID.

Trading Hours — Close by 3:59 PM CT Restricted

The session runs 5:00 PM CT to 4:00 PM CT the next day. Every position must be closed by 3:59 PM CT. Weekends and public holidays do not count as trading days.

The Drawdown Locks at Starting Balance + $100 Restricted

On a Master account the threshold stops moving for good once it reaches your starting balance plus $100 — $25,100 on a 25K, $50,100 on a 50K, $100,100 on a 100K, $150,100 on a 150K. Account values needed to lock: $26,600, $52,600, $103,100 and $154,600. Locking also removes the Option 2 daily loss limit permanently.

Option 2 — Dynamic Scaling on Qualification Restricted

Qualification Option 2 sizes your contract limit off Cash on Hand, and it moves both ways. 25K: 2 up to $1,500, then 3. 50K: 2, then 4 to $4,000, then 7. 100K: 3, then 5, 8 and 12. 150K: 5, then 8, 10 and 15. Fast Track and Momentum Option 2 have no scaling plan.

Option 2 Daily Loss Limit Restricted

$500 on a 25K, $1,100 on a 50K, $2,200 on a 100K and $3,300 on a 150K for Qualification, calculated between 5:00 PM and 4:00 PM CT on realised and unrealised P&L including commissions. Fast Track runs $1,200 to $3,300 with none on the 25K, and Momentum $600 to $3,300.

Consistency Differs by Plan Restricted

Qualification/Master 40% at every payout, and it does not reset — total P&L accumulates across the whole trading period. Fast Track escalates: 20% on the first payout, 25% on the second, 30% from the third. Momentum 35%. Missing it is never a breach; you keep trading until the percentage comes into line.

Qualification Reset — $78 Restricted

A flat $78 at every size returns the balance to its starting value on the same account, processed instantly. Previous profits, losses and trading days are cleared, and it does not extend your 30-day access. A Master Account reset is priced individually by support.

Activation Fee — Qualification Only Restricted

$143.00 on a 25K, $148.00 on a 50K, $248.00 on a 100K and $498.00 on a 150K, identical for Option 1 and Option 2. The activation link is valid for 7 days and the Master account is lost if payment is not completed in time. Fast Track and Momentum have no activation fee.

Payout Documents Restricted

A Withdrawal Information Form, valid ID and a hand-signed W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (non-US) must all be in before the first payout. Electronic signatures are not accepted, and mismatched beneficiary details will delay the transfer.

Third-Party API Fee Restricted

$100 a month if you connect to Rithmic through a third-party API or Trader Composite Software.

Commissions Per Side Restricted

Charged on each filled contract, on entry and on exit, and included in balance, P&L and risk calculations.

Same-Account Hedging Prohibited

Holding a long and a short on the same instrument at the same time within one account is not permitted.

Overnight and Weekend Positions Prohibited

Strictly prohibited on every plan. Everything must be flat by 3:59 PM CT.

Bulenox Payouts at a Glance
100% on the first $10,000, then 90% • Three different payout rulebooks • Master processed Wednesdays, Fast Track and Momentum same day

Profit Split

100% of the first $10,000 paid out from your profile, counted once per trader across every Fast Track and Master account, then 90% with Bulenox keeping 10%. The commission is applied when the payout is transferred.

Master Account — 10 Trading Days

Ten individual trading days, a minimum request of $1,000, the Safety Threshold Reserve, the 40% consistency rule and all documents. Another 10 trading days are needed after each payout period completes — the clock does not start the moment you request. Weekends, holidays and the days between the request and the Wednesday processing do not count.

Master — Safety Threshold Reserve

The minimum that must remain above the starting balance after a payout: $1,600 / $2,600 / $3,100 / $4,600 by size. Your balance has to cover the reserve and the payout. On a 50K, requesting the $1,000 minimum needs $53,600 in the account, leaving $52,600 behind.

Master — The 40% Rule Never Resets

Best day divided by total P&L, checked at every request. Unlike most firms, the calculation does not restart after a payout — total P&L accumulates across the entire trading period and your best day only changes when you post a bigger one. Missing it closes nothing; you simply keep trading until it comes into line. On the first payout the Safety Threshold Reserve is included in the calculation.

Master — Caps and Processing

Payouts one to three are capped at $1,000, $1,500, $1,750 or $2,000 by size, then the cap disappears. Processing runs once a week on Wednesdays; submit by 11:59 PM CT Friday to make that cycle.

Fast Track — Profit Goals, Not Trading Days

No day requirement at all. The first payout unlocks at a profit goal of $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 by size. Each cycle after that needs new profit — $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500 — counted from the balance at the start of that cycle, so profit kept from an earlier cycle does not count again.

Fast Track — Escalating Consistency

20% on the first payout, 25% on the second, 30% from the third. Caps are $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000 for payouts one to three, rising to $1,250, $2,500, $3,000 or $3,500 from the fourth. Requests in before 12:01 PM CT Monday to Friday are ordinarily processed the same day.

Momentum — Five Profitable Days

Not trading days — profitable ones, each netting at least $100, $150, $200 or $250 after commissions by size. They do not have to be consecutive, and a smaller green day still adds profit, just not to the five. A 35% consistency rule applies, and the account must reach $26,500, $53,000, $104,500 or $156,500 before a request.

Momentum — Minimums and Caps

The minimum request is $500 on a 25K and $1,000 on the rest. Caps rise with each payout: the first is $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500 by size, the second $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000, the third $1,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000, and from the fourth $1,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000.

Documents

A Withdrawal Information Form, valid ID and a hand-signed W-9 or W-8BEN before the first payout. Electronic signatures are not accepted.

Payment Methods

ACH or wire transfer, or PayPal. Bulenox charges no transfer fee, though a receiving bank, intermediary bank or PayPal may.

After Three Payouts — Live Funded Account

Complete three successful payouts and your Master accounts may be considered for consolidation into a live Funded Account. It is at Bulenox's discretion and not automatic. Only accounts with a positive balance qualify, each capped at $2,500, $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 by size, with a total transition cap of $30,000. Anything above those caps is excluded and cannot be withdrawn afterwards.

Bulenox Reviews & Ratings

Rated by our community & expert team

Bulenox has traded since February 2022 from the US under CEO Chris Salzarulo, one of the oldest futures prop firms still running, and it holds on Trustpilot from reviews. The lineup is a grid: three plans — Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum — each in two risk models, Option 1 intraday trailing or Option 2 end of day, on Rithmic with twenty-one platforms. The evaluation is unusually light: one day to pass, no consistency rule until funded, and news, algos, scalping and martingale all permitted. The number to watch is the activation fee — Qualification charges it, Fast Track and Momentum do not, and it flips which plan is actually cheapest.

Summary

A US futures firm trading since February 2022 under CEO Chris Salzarulo. Twenty-four accounts from $25,000 to $150,000 across three plans and two risk models, all on Rithmic with twenty-one platforms and allocation to $750,000. on Trustpilot from reviews.

Entry is $15.95 with code GUIDE, which takes 89% off Qualification Option 1 and 75% off Option 2. Fast Track and Momentum carry 40% off on the same code.

Three things to read first: Qualification adds an activation fee of $143.00 to $498.00 that makes Momentum cheaper all-in, the 100% split covers your first $10,000 across all accounts rather than per account, and the Master 40% consistency rule never resets between payouts.

Deep Dive

More About Bulenox

Is Bulenox Legit?

Bulenox has been paying traders since February 2022, which in futures prop counts as a long record. It runs from the United States under CEO Chris Salzarulo and holds on Trustpilot across reviews. Where most firms on this site launched in 2024 or 2025, Bulenox has traded through several market cycles already.

The split is 100% on your first $10,000, then 90%, and the ceiling is stated plainly rather than buried. The detail to catch is that the $10,000 counts once per trader across every Fast Track and Master account, so running five accounts does not give you five allowances.

You are making two choices here, not one. First the risk model. Option 1 trails intraday, including unrealised profit, so a spike you do not bank permanently raises your floor — but there is no daily loss limit at all. Option 2 trails end of day, so you can run into profit, give it back before the close and the floor has not moved, at the price of a daily loss limit and, on Fast Track and Momentum, fewer contracts. On Qualification, Option 2 also brings a scaling plan that moves your contract limit up and down with your balance.

Then the plan, which is really about when you pay. This is where the pricing misleads. A 25K Qualification Option 1 shows $15.95 against Momentum at $56.40, so Qualification looks like the bargain — until the $143.00 activation fee lands on the day you pass. All-in that is $158.95 against Momentum’s $56.40 with nothing to follow. Momentum is cheaper on every size.

Qualification still has a place: a failed account never triggers its activation fee, and a reset costs a flat $78 at any size. If you expect to burn a few attempts before passing, buying cheap and resetting is the sensible route. If you expect to pass first time, it is the expensive one.

The evaluation is one of the lightest anywhere. One session is enough to pass, there is no consistency rule until you are funded, and you get 30 days of access. News trading is unrestricted through CPI, FOMC and NFP, algorithmic trading is permitted, scalping has no minimum hold time and martingale is allowed inside the margin and contract limits. Very few futures firms tick all of those.

Once funded, the three plans diverge sharply and this is where people mis-plan. Master accounts need 10 individual trading days, a 40% consistency score and a Safety Threshold Reserve of $1,600 to $4,600 that stays in the account — so on a 50K you need $53,600 before you can take the $1,000 minimum. Fast Track ignores days entirely and gates on profit goals. Momentum wants five profitable days of $100 to $250 each, which is a real bar rather than a formality.

The 40% rule on Master accounts deserves singling out because it works the opposite way to almost every competitor: it never resets. Total P&L accumulates across the whole trading period instead of restarting each payout cycle, so one outsized day early on keeps dragging your ratio down for the life of the account. Missing it is not a breach, but it will hold up payouts indefinitely if you never post a bigger denominator.

The payout structure does improve as you go. Master caps of $1,000 to $2,000 apply to the first three requests and then disappear entirely. Fast Track and Momentum caps rise with each payout instead. After three successful payouts your Master accounts may be considered for consolidation into a live Funded Account — at Bulenox’s discretion, capped at $2,500 to $15,000 per account and $30,000 in total, with anything above those limits excluded permanently.

The one hard restriction is no swing trading. The session runs 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM CT and everything must be flat by 3:59 PM CT, so nothing is held overnight or over a weekend. Same-account hedging is prohibited too. If your strategy needs to breathe past the bell, this is not the firm.

Bulenox vs Other Futures Prop Firms

Bulenox competes on platform choice, a permissive rulebook and a long record. Where it gives ground is the activation fee and the withdrawal reserve.

Bulenox vs Apex Trader Funding: The closest comparison in futures, and both have the years behind them. Apex pays a flat 100% with no $10,000 ceiling but runs a 50% consistency rule at every request and caps you at six payouts per account. Bulenox drops its Master cap entirely after the third payout and allows algos and martingale, which Apex does not. Apex has no activation fee; on Bulenox only Qualification charges one, and Momentum sidesteps it.

Bulenox vs Take Profit Trader: Take Profit Trader has the cleaner funded stage and no activation fee anywhere. Bulenox counters with a far wider platform list through Rithmic, no evaluation consistency rule and a one-session pass. If you want the fewest rules while evaluating, Bulenox; if you want the fewest surprises after, Take Profit Trader.

Bulenox vs Tradeify: Tradeify pays a flat 90% with no activation fee at all, which is the simpler cost structure to model. Bulenox pays 100% on the first $10,000 and lets you pick the drawdown mechanic and the payment structure separately across six combinations. Run the activation numbers before assuming Bulenox is cheaper — on Momentum it usually is, on Qualification it usually is not.

Bulenox vs Elite Trader Funding: Elite runs the wider menu of account types; Bulenox keeps it to a three-by-two grid where the two variables are easy to reason about. Both allow algos. Bulenox has the broader platform access at twenty-one front ends and a clearer path to live funding after three payouts.

Bulenox Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bulenox legit?

Bulenox has been operating since February 2022 from the United States under CEO Chris Salzarulo, which makes it one of the longer-running futures prop firms. Trading routes through Rithmic and payouts go out by ACH, wire or PayPal. It does not pay through Riseworks, so it has no on-chain payout tracker.

What accounts does Bulenox offer?

Twenty-four, across three plans and two risk models at four sizes from $25,000 to $150,000. The plans are Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum. The risk models are Option 1 (intraday trailing) and Option 2 (end-of-day trailing).

What is the difference between Option 1 and Option 2 at Bulenox?

The risk model. Option 1 trails intraday, so every new equity high raises your loss floor in real time and unbanked profit permanently narrows your room — but there is no daily loss limit at all. Option 2 recalculates once a day at the close, so intraday drawdown only counts if you are still holding at the bell, and it adds a daily loss limit. On Fast Track and Momentum, Option 2 also allows fewer contracts.

What is the difference between Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum?

When you pay and what you get. Qualification is the classic evaluation — cheapest up front, but passing triggers an activation fee of $143.00 to $498.00. Fast Track has no qualification stage at all, so you trade funded from day one with no activation fee and no deadline. Momentum covers both stages in one payment, so the Master account is free.

Which Bulenox plan is cheapest overall?

Momentum, once you count activation. A 25K Momentum is $56.40 with nothing to pay afterwards, against a 25K Qualification at $15.95 plus a $143.00 activation fee. Qualification only works out cheaper if you expect to fail attempts, since a failed Qualification never triggers the activation fee.

What is the Bulenox profit split?

100% on your first $10,000 of total profit, then 90% after that. The $10,000 is counted across every account you hold rather than resetting per account.

How much does a Bulenox account cost?

From $15.95 for a 25K Qualification Option 1 with code GUIDE, which takes 89% off Qualification Option 1 and 75% off Option 2. Fast Track and Momentum carry 40% off on the same code — a 25K Momentum is $56.40 and a 25K Fast Track is $202.80.

What is the Bulenox activation fee?

A one-time charge when you move from a Qualification account to a funded Master account: $143.00 on a 25K, $148.00 on a 50K, $248.00 on a 100K and $498.00 on a 150K. Fast Track and Momentum have no activation fee at all.

Does Bulenox have a daily loss limit?

Only on Option 2. The intraday-trailing Option 1 accounts have none at all on any plan, leaving the trailing drawdown as the only loss boundary. Option 2 adds a daily limit that runs from $500 to $3,300 depending on plan and size.

What is the Bulenox consistency rule?

It differs by plan. Master accounts run 40%, checked at every payout — and unusually it does not reset afterwards, since total P&L accumulates across the whole trading period and your best day only changes when you post a bigger one. Fast Track escalates: 20% on the first payout, 25% on the second, 30% from the third. Momentum is 35%. Missing it is never a breach — you keep trading until the percentage comes into line.

How many trading days do I need at Bulenox?

One. Bulenox publishes no minimum, but you have to trade at least one day to reach the target, so a Qualification or Momentum account can be cleared in a single session and no faster. For payouts it depends on the plan: a Master account needs 10 individual trading days, Momentum needs five profitable days netting $100 to $250 by size, and Fast Track has no day requirement at all.

How do payouts work at Bulenox?

Each plan has its own rulebook. Master accounts need 10 trading days, a 40% consistency score, the Safety Threshold Reserve and a $1,000 minimum, processed weekly on Wednesdays. Fast Track gates on profit goals instead of days and is processed the same day if requested before 12:01 PM CT. Momentum needs five profitable days and a 35% score. Payment is by ACH, wire or PayPal with no fee from Bulenox.

What is the Bulenox withdrawal safety threshold?

The Safety Threshold Reserve is the minimum that must remain above your starting balance after a Master account payout: $1,600 on a 25K, $2,600 on a 50K, $3,100 on a 100K and $4,600 on a 150K. Your balance has to cover both the reserve and the payout, so requesting the $1,000 minimum on a 50K needs $53,600 in the account.

Are there payout caps at Bulenox?

Yes, and they vary by plan. Master accounts are capped at $1,000, $1,500, $1,750 or $2,000 for the first three payouts, then uncapped. Fast Track runs $1,000 to $3,000 for payouts one to three and $1,250 to $3,500 from the fourth. Momentum rises with each payout, from $1,000–$2,500 on the first up to $1,000–$5,000 from the fourth.

Is there a time limit at Bulenox?

Qualification and Momentum accounts come with 30 days of access, and a reset does not extend that window. Fast Track has no qualification stage and therefore no deadline.

Can I trade the news at Bulenox?

Yes, with no restrictions at all, including high-impact releases. There is no blackout window on any plan.

Can I use algorithmic or automated trading at Bulenox?

Yes. Algorithmic and automated strategies are permitted, which is unusual among futures firms. Copy trading is also allowed between your own accounts.

Is martingale allowed at Bulenox?

Yes, provided you stay inside the platform's margin requirements, contract limits and risk parameters.

Can I hedge at Bulenox?

Not within a single account — holding a long and a short on the same instrument at the same time is not permitted.

Can I scalp at Bulenox?

Yes, with no minimum hold time requirement on any plan.

Can I hold trades overnight at Bulenox?

No. The session runs 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM CT and every position must be closed by 3:59 PM CT. Holding overnight or over a weekend is strictly prohibited on every plan.

How many Bulenox accounts can I hold?

Up to five Master-level accounts at once — Master, Fast Track and Momentum in any combination. Qualification accounts stay unlimited.

How many contracts can I trade at Bulenox?

It depends on the risk model. Option 1 allows 3 minis on a 25K, 7 on a 50K, 12 on a 100K and 15 on a 150K, and Qualification Option 2 matches that. Fast Track and Momentum Option 2 run 2, 4, 8 and 12. One mini equals ten micros.

Can I reset a Bulenox account?

A Qualification account resets for a flat $78 at any size. It restores the starting balance on the same account, is processed instantly and clears your previous profits, losses and trading days — but it does not extend your 30-day access. A Master Account reset is priced individually, so you have to contact support.

What is the Dynamic Scaling Plan at Bulenox?

It applies to Qualification Option 2 only and sizes your contract limit off Cash on Hand — the amount your balance exceeds the starting balance. A 25K runs 2 contracts up to $1,500 then 3; a 150K runs 5, then 8, 10 and 15. It works in both directions, so the limit drops again if your balance falls. Fast Track and Momentum Option 2 have no scaling plan.

When does the Bulenox drawdown stop trailing?

On a Master account it locks permanently once it reaches your starting balance plus $100 — $25,100, $50,100, $100,100 or $150,100. The account values needed to trigger that are $26,600, $52,600, $103,100 and $154,600. Locking also removes the Option 2 daily loss limit for good.

What happens if I hit the daily loss limit at Bulenox?

Trading is disabled for the rest of that session and nothing else. It is not counted as a rule violation and trading resumes automatically at the start of the next session. Exceeding the drawdown threshold is the different, account-ending event.

Can I get a live funded account at Bulenox?

After three successful payouts your Master accounts may be considered for consolidation into a live Funded Account. It is at Bulenox's discretion rather than automatic. Only accounts with a positive balance qualify, each capped at $2,500, $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 by size, with a total transition cap of $30,000. Profit above those caps is excluded and cannot be withdrawn.

What documents does Bulenox need for a payout?

A Withdrawal Information Form, a valid identification document, and a hand-signed W-9 for US persons or W-8BEN for non-US persons. Electronic signatures are not accepted, and beneficiary details that do not match the forms will delay the transfer.

Does Bulenox charge any other fees?

Connecting to Rithmic through a third-party API or Trader Composite Software costs $100 a month, charged by the provider. Commissions are per side, applied to each filled contract on entry and exit, and included in balance, P&L and risk calculations. Bulenox charges no payout transfer fee.

What platforms does Bulenox support?

Twenty-one, all through Rithmic — NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Quantower, MultiCharts, MotiveWave, ATAS, Bookmap X Ray, Investor/RT, TigerTrade, OptimusFlow, Trade Navigator, VolFix, QScalp, OverCharts, Medved Trader, QST, ScalpTool, TSLab, Photon Trader and InsideEdge.
