Bulenox is a prop‑firm / funding provider that allows futures traders to prove their skill on a test (“Qualification Account”) and — if successful — advance to a “Master Account” and potentially a “Funded Account” with real capital.
They support futures trading (standard or micro contracts) across a variety of markets.
Bulenox claims to offer a path for disciplined, talented traders to trade with firm capital — instead of risking their own money — which aligns closely with what you do (scalping futures on NQ, Russell, S&P, gold, etc.).
📄 Account Types & How It Works
✅ Qualification Account (Evaluation Phase)
- When you start, you open a Qualification Account in a chosen size (e.g. $25K, $50K, $100K, $150K, $250K). bulenox.com
- There’s no minimum number of trading days required to pass. bulenox.com
- Trading day runs from 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM (CST, North America). Weekends and holidays don’t count. bulenox.com
- All positions must be closed before 15:59 (CT). bulenox.com
- There are two risk‑management models you can choose from:
- Trailing Drawdown (No‑Scaling Account): Drawdown limit trails the account high (real‑time, including open positions + commission). bulenox.com
- EOD / Scaling Plan (End‑Of-Day Drawdown): Drawdown/loss limit assessed at end of each trading day; daily loss limits apply (depending on account size). bulenox.com
- You may trade both standard and micro contracts simultaneously. 1 standard = 10 micro contracts. bulenox.com
- There is no time limit on how many days you can take to reach the profit target. You don’t need to trade every day. bulenox.com
So essentially — you get a flexible evaluation. As long as you respect drawdown rules and close positions in time, you can use your own strategy (scalping, intraday, whatever works) to try to hit the target.
🧑💼 Master Account (If You Pass)
Once you reach the profit target on Qualification account and have at least one trading day, you can request the upgrade. The firm then reviews your account — verification can take up to 24–48 hours. bulenox.com+1
After upgrade:
- You no longer pay the recurring subscription for Qualification. bulenox.com
- Instead you pay a one‑time activation fee (data feed + maintenance), depending on the account size. bulenox.com
- The same drawdown rules apply (Trailing or EOD), but no resets allowed. If you break the drawdown rule, account is closed. bulenox.com
- Drawdown thresholds for Master Account depend on account size. Example: for a $50,000 account TDA (Trailing / EOD Drawdown Amount) is $2,500. bulenox.com
- Traders can hold multiple Master Accounts under one login / user ID — up to a certain limit. bulenox.com
On Master Account, profits are real: you trade and earn based on performance. 🎯 bulenox.com
Payout and withdrawal rules (see next section) govern how you get your gains.
💵 Payouts, Withdrawals & Commission Structure
- Profit split: First $10,000 of profit goes 100% to you (no commission). bulenox.com
- After that, profit split is 90% you / 10% Bulenox. bulenox.com
- You can request withdrawals anytime (once requirements met), payouts are processed weekly on Wednesdays. bulenox.com
- Minimum withdrawal is $1,000. bulenox.com
- For first three payouts there are maximum withdrawal limits depending on account size (e.g. $1,500 for a $50K account). bulenox.com
- There is a “safety threshold” that must remain in the account after withdrawal. bulenox.com
- Also — a “Consistency Rule” applies: at withdrawal request, the profit from your best single trading day must not exceed 40% of total profit. Example: if you made $20,000 overall, best single day must be ≤ $8,000. bulenox.com
These rules encourage stable, consistent trading — rather than one big winning trade and then minimal activity.
🧰 Tech, Platform & What’s Allowed
- Traders use Rithmic / NinjaTrader 8 (or compatible platform) to connect and trade under Bulenox. bulenox.com
- Both standard and micro futures contracts are allowed. bulenox.com
- According to some reports / guides: using trade copiers / bots / automated strategies is permitted. bulenox.com
- However — you must respect drawdown / daily‑loss / closing‑time rules strictly. Violating them = risk of account termination. bulenox.com
This setup gives flexibility for traders like you (scalpers / intraday futures traders), if you manage risk properly and follow the rules.
✅ What’s Good – and What to Keep in Mind
Pros:
- Flexible evaluation: no time limit, no minimum trading‑days required. Great if you prefer to trade selectively or only when setups appear.
- Supports both standard and micro contracts — which gives flexibility.
- Once funded (Master Account), payouts follow a transparent structure: 100% first 10k profit, then 90%.
- Possibility to scale up (multiple Master accounts) — good for ambitious traders.
- Compatible with common futures platforms (Rithmic + NinjaTrader).
Things to Watch / Potential Cons:
- Strict drawdown rules: trailing or EOD drawdown — if you slip up you might lose the account.
- On Master Account, no resets; once drawdown threshold is hit → account closed.
- Consistency rule: if you rely on occasional big trades (instead of consistent small wins), the 40%‑per‑day limit may restrict withdrawals.
- Withdrawal limits (especially first 3 payouts) can cap your cash‑out speed.
- As with any prop‑firm: trading still carries risk. Even though funds are theirs, losses / drawdowns are real, and you must manage risk carefully.
