Bulenox FAQ

Bulenox is a US-based futures prop firm running a 1-step evaluation. You pay a monthly evaluation fee, hit the profit target without breaching the EOD trailing drawdown (and a daily loss limit on Option 2), then graduate to a funded "Master Account" paying 100% of the first $10,000 of lifetime Master profits and 90/10 after that. Account sizes range $10K to $250K with two rule formats — Option 1 (EOD trailing, no DLL) and Option 2 (EOD trailing plus DLL). No phase 2, no consistency rule on the evaluation itself.

Bulenox LLC was registered in 2020 in Delaware, USA. Beyond the LLC filing, ownership and parent-company structure are not publicly confirmed — claims linking Bulenox to specific holding groups are unverified and should be treated as rumor until Bulenox publishes a public corporate tree. The firm positions itself as a US-domiciled alternative to offshore props. Verify the exact corporate structure on bulenox.com.

Bulenox LLC was registered in Delaware in 2020 and grew its trader base through 2023-2024 with aggressive monthly promo discounts and a generous payout structure (100% on the first $10,000 of lifetime Master profits, then 90/10). By 2026 it is one of the more visible US futures props in trader forums and Trustpilot, frequently cited alongside Apex, Topstep, MFFU, and Tradeify.

Legit. Trustpilot scores hover around 4.4–4.6 across 2,800+ reviews. prop firm forums and futures trader forums regularly post payout proofs. Common complaints focus on the trailing-drawdown mechanic and occasional payout delays during high-volume weeks, not on missing payouts or rugpull behavior.

No — Bulenox is a proprietary trading firm, not a regulated broker-dealer. It operates simulated funded accounts with discretionary payouts. This is the standard structure across the entire retail futures prop industry (Apex, Topstep, MFFU, Tradeify, Earn2Trade are also unregulated in the broker-dealer sense).

CME futures only — equity index (ES, NQ, RTY, YM and their micros MES, MNQ, M2K, MYM), energies (CL, NG and micros), metals (GC, SI and micros), agriculturals, FX futures, Treasuries. No spot forex, no crypto, no equities. CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX products are tradable.

Yes. Bulenox is one of the few prop firms that explicitly markets itself as US-friendly across all 50 states. No KYC-blocking on US residents, full Rithmic R|Trader and NinjaTrader 8 platform access, and US-tax-form support for funded payouts.

Standard US-sanctions list: Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, Crimea, Venezuela. Most of Asia, Europe, LATAM, and Africa are accepted. Verify your country at the Bulenox checkout — the list updates with OFAC changes.

Bulenox does not publish a registered-trader count. Estimates from Discord activity, Trustpilot review velocity, and prop firm forums payout-proof volume put the active funded base in the low five-figures and overall registered users in the 50K-100K range as of 2026.

Sim-funded. Both the evaluation and the funded "Master Account" are simulated accounts that fill against real-time CME quotes. Payouts are real cash drawn from the firm's working capital, paid based on simulated PnL. This is the universal model for futures prop firms.

Option 1 is the "no scaling" Bulenox evaluation. It uses an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown only — there is NO daily loss limit. The trailing line only locks in once per day at the daily settle, so intraday MFE swings do not move it. Many algo and swing-style traders pick Option 1 because the absence of a DLL gives more day-to-day flexibility, with risk capped only by the EOD trail.

Option 2 uses the same end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown as Option 1 but ADDS a per-day daily loss limit ($400 on $10K, $500 on $25K, $1,100 on $50K, $2,200 on $100K, $3,300 on $150K, $4,500 on $250K). The DLL caps how much realized loss you can take in a single session — once hit, trading is paused for the day. Option 2 is the structured-risk choice for traders who want a hard guardrail beneath the EOD trail.

Option 1 is generally easier to pass because it has no daily loss limit — only the EOD trailing drawdown gates the account. Option 2 adds a hard DLL on top of the same EOD trail, so a single rough session can pause trading even if you would have recovered later in the day. Traders who run wider intraday excursions usually prefer Option 1; traders who want a same-day kill-switch prefer Option 2.

Yes — that is the defining feature of Option 2. The DLL is sized per account: $400 ($10K), $500 ($25K), $1,100 ($50K), $2,200 ($100K), $3,300 ($150K), $4,500 ($250K). Option 1, by contrast, has no daily loss limit at all. If a same-day risk cap matters to you, choose Option 2; if you want maximum intraday flexibility, choose Option 1.

Prop firm forum threads in 2025-2026 lean toward Option 1 for traders who want maximum flexibility because Option 1 has no daily loss limit — only the EOD trailing drawdown can fail you. Option 2 wins for traders who want a hard same-day guardrail via its DLL. Both options share the same payout structure: 100% on the first $10,000 of lifetime Master profits, then 90/10.

Pricing is approximately the same with periodic Option 2 surcharges of $5-$15/month at certain sizes. Both run on the same monthly recurring billing model. Most discount codes apply to both options. Always compare evaluation fees side-by-side at checkout because Bulenox occasionally tweaks the spread.

No. The option is locked at purchase. To change, you must either let the current evaluation expire or buy a new one under the desired option. Funded accounts inherit the option chosen during the evaluation; you cannot toggle Option 1↔Option 2 on a Master Account.

No — both options share the same profit targets: $750 ($10K), $1,500 ($25K), $3,000 ($50K), $6,000 ($100K), $9,000 ($150K), $15,000 ($250K). The trade-off is only in the risk mechanic: Option 1 is EOD trailing alone, Option 2 is EOD trailing plus a daily loss limit.

Option 1 is the strong default for automated and TradingView-routed strategies because both options share the same EOD trailing forgiveness on intraday swings, but Option 1 has no daily loss limit. Bots that occasionally take a rough session benefit from Option 1's lack of a same-day kill-switch. PickMyTrade users running TradingView alerts to Bulenox via Rithmic frequently pick Option 1 for that reason.

No. Both options work for scalping, day trading, and swing trading equally — the EOD trailing in both options locks once per day at session close, regardless of holding period. You can scalp 50 trades in a day on Option 2 just like on Option 1; the only practical difference is Option 2's daily loss limit that can pause you mid-day.

Identical. Both pay 100% on the first $10,000 of lifetime Master profits then 90/10, both honor the $1,000 minimum payout, both require a 10-trading-day minimum on the Master Account before the first payout, and both pay weekly on Wednesdays. Payout methods (Wise/Deel/wire/crypto) are identical. The choice is risk-style only, not paycheck-size.

Yes. Bulenox allows up to 20 concurrent evaluation accounts per trader and you may mix Option 1 and Option 2 freely. PickMyTrade is built for this — one TradingView alert can broadcast to a stack of Option 1 and Option 2 accounts in parallel for $50/month flat across all of them.

Six sizes: $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, $150K, and $250K. Each size has its own profit target, EOD trailing drawdown buffer, daily loss limit (Option 2 only), and contract-size cap. The smaller sizes are great for testing strategies; the $100K and $150K are the sweet spot for income-focused funded traders.

$750 profit target on the $10K account, with a $750 EOD trailing drawdown. Option 1 has no daily loss limit; Option 2 adds a $400 DLL. Smallest entry point — popular for traders testing Bulenox rules before scaling up.

$1,500 profit target on the $25K account. EOD trailing drawdown $1,500. Option 1 has no daily loss limit; Option 2 adds a $500 DLL. Often the best value-per-dollar Bulenox plan once you factor in periodic 80% off promo pricing.

$3,000 profit target on the $50K account. EOD trailing drawdown $2,500. Option 1 has no daily loss limit; Option 2 adds a $1,100 DLL. Contract size cap typically 10 minis / 100 micros. Mid-range plan that balances size, fee, and target.

$6,000 profit target on the $100K account. EOD trailing drawdown $3,000. Option 1 has no daily loss limit; Option 2 adds a $2,200 DLL. Contract size cap typically 12-15 minis. The most popular size on prop firm forums Bulenox payout posts in 2026.

$9,000 profit target on the $150K account. EOD trailing drawdown $4,500. Option 1 has no daily loss limit; Option 2 adds a $3,300 DLL. Larger contract caps (around 15 minis). Better fee-to-buying-power ratio than $250K for most traders.

$15,000 profit target on the $250K account. EOD trailing drawdown $5,500. Option 1 has no daily loss limit; Option 2 adds a $4,500 DLL. Highest evaluation fee but unlocks the largest contract caps. Best for established traders who already have a proven scaling-friendly edge.

Yes. Up to 20 evaluation accounts per trader, mixing sizes freely. PickMyTrade lets one TradingView alert hit, say, three $50Ks plus two $100Ks plus one $250K simultaneously through a single TradingView signal — at the same flat $50/month PMT subscription.

For most traders, $50K and $100K offer the best target-to-fee ratio. The $25K is fine for testing but pays out slowly; $250K has the highest absolute payouts but the steepest fee. Run the math at promo pricing — Bulenox's recurring 80% off codes flip the answer toward the smaller sizes.

No — $250K is the largest single Bulenox account. To scale beyond, traders run multiple Master Accounts in parallel (up to 20) which effectively gives a $5M+ aggregate buying power footprint. Bulenox does not currently offer a $500K or $1M single-account product.

Monthly recurring. The evaluation runs on a monthly subscription that auto-renews until you pass, fail, or cancel. Once funded, the Master Account itself has no monthly fee — only the underlying Rithmic data fees may apply (free retail non-pro; ~$130/mo for pro).

Approximately $115-$135 per month at list price (Option 1 vs Option 2 differ slightly). Bulenox almost never sells at full retail — promo codes typically take effective monthly pricing into the $25-$45 range for the same size.

Yes. Bulenox runs near-continuous monthly promotions on its Discord, Twitter, and affiliate network. Typical structure is 80% off the first month or 80% off recurring for the life of the evaluation. Codes rotate; check prop firm forums "deals" threads or the Bulenox Discord on the 1st of each month.

Yes — recurring 80% off codes are a Bulenox signature offer. They lock the discounted rate as long as you keep the same evaluation active. Recurring codes are more valuable than first-month-only codes for traders expecting a 2-3 month evaluation period.

Yes — the activation fee is tiered by account size: roughly $98 ($10K), $130 ($25K), $220 ($50K), $300 ($100K), $400 ($150K), and $490 ($250K). It is paid once per evaluation when upgrading to the Master Account and unlocks live payout eligibility. The fee is not refundable on Master Account close.

Three known costs: (1) the monthly evaluation subscription, (2) the one-time tiered activation fee on the Master Account (~$98 on $10K up to ~$490 on $250K), (3) optional CME live data fees if your platform requires non-bundled data. Reset fees apply if you want to restart a failed evaluation without buying a new one.

Yes — Bulenox accepts crypto via NOWPayments alongside Visa/Mastercard. BTC, ETH, USDT (TRC20/ERC20), and USDC are commonly supported. Crypto sometimes unlocks additional 5% off codes during promo windows.

Bulenox follows the standard prop firm "no refund after first trade" policy. If you have placed a single trade on the evaluation, refunds are not given. Pre-trade cancellations within a short window (verify the exact term in TOS) may be honored on a discretionary basis.

For US-resident funded traders, Bulenox issues 1099-NEC forms when annual payouts cross $600. Non-US traders receive payout records but are responsible for self-reporting under their local tax regime. Consult a tax professional — payout characterization (self-employment vs. trading income) varies by jurisdiction.

No — Bulenox checkout accepts only one code per purchase. Always compare available active codes (recurring 80% off vs. first-month-90% off vs. crypto-bonus 5%) and pick the highest cumulative value over your expected evaluation duration.

Option 1 uses an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown. The trail locks in once per day at the daily settle based on settled balance, not on intraday ticks. As the settled balance hits new daily highs, the drawdown line moves up. Once your EOD balance reaches the initial-balance level, the trail locks at the initial balance. No daily loss limit applies on Option 1.

Option 1 EOD trailing values: $10K → $750, $25K → $1,500, $50K → $2,500, $100K → $3,000, $150K → $4,500, $250K → $5,500. The $100K and $150K accounts share an unusually similar dollar buffer — the $150K offers more contracts at a similar trailing cap. These values are identical to Option 2; the only difference between the options is the presence of the DLL on Option 2.

It locks once your EOD settled balance hits the initial-balance level. From that point forward, the drawdown line is fixed at the original starting balance, giving you a permanent buffer of [profit target + trailing amount] above breach. This is the moment of "drawdown lock" that Bulenox traders celebrate.

Closed/settled — Option 1 measures the trail at the EOD settle. If you go up $1,200 unrealized intraday then come back to flat by close, the trailing line did not move because only the settled end-of-day balance is used. This is why Option 1 is forgiving on intraday MFE giveback compared with intraday-tracking firms like Apex.

Account is failed immediately. On the evaluation, you can buy a reset (or a new evaluation) and try again. On the funded Master Account, breach is terminal — the Master Account closes and you must re-evaluate from scratch to regain funded status.

Yes. Option 1 has no daily loss limit at all. On Option 2, the DLL resets at the daily session boundary (typically 5pm CT US futures close). A bad day caps your loss at the DLL — overnight, the limit refreshes to the full DLL amount the next day. The EOD trailing drawdown does NOT reset; it persists across days on both options.

The Bulenox dashboard shows current trailing line, daily loss buffer (on Option 2), and live equity. Rithmic R|Trader and NinjaTrader 8 risk panels also display live PnL distance from the EOD trailing line. Many traders run a TradingView Pine alert to ping when daily PnL approaches the trail.

Option 1 works well for any style — tight scalping, day trading, or swing entries — because its EOD trailing forgives intraday MFE giveback and there is no DLL to interrupt your day. Tight-stop scalpers may actually prefer Option 2 because the DLL provides a hard kill-switch if a losing streak compounds.

Once the trailing locks at initial balance, your buffer = [profit target + trailing amount]. So a $50K Option 1 with $3,000 target + $2,500 trail provides a $5,500 buffer above breach once locked. The drawdown will never trail higher than the initial balance — that is the cushion.

Yes — PickMyTrade supports per-account stop-on-loss thresholds and a daily-PnL kill-switch that pairs naturally with Option 2's DLL (Option 1 has no DLL, but you can still configure PMT to enforce a self-imposed daily floor). PMT will halt new entries on the affected account when the threshold trips, protecting against accidental breaches when running multi-firm bots that don't have firm-specific risk awareness.

Option 2 uses the same EOD trailing drawdown as Option 1 — the trail locks once per day at session close based on settled end-of-day balance, not intraday ticks. The distinction from Option 1 is that Option 2 ALSO enforces a daily loss limit per session. Intraday MFE swings do not move the trailing line on either option; only the daily settle matters for the trail.

Option 2 EOD trailing values: $10K → $750, $25K → $1,500, $50K → $2,500, $100K → $3,000, $150K → $4,500, $250K → $5,500. These are identical to Option 1. Option 2 layers a daily loss limit on top: $400 / $500 / $1,100 / $2,200 / $3,300 / $4,500 across the same sizes. Verify on bulenox.com before purchase.

Yes. Option 2 enforces a daily loss limit per account size ($400 / $500 / $1,100 / $2,200 / $3,300 / $4,500 from $10K to $250K). This is the single biggest practical difference vs. Option 1 — Option 1 has no DLL at all, so only the EOD trailing line can disable you. On Option 2, breaching the DLL pauses trading for the rest of that session.

Once your EOD settled balance reaches the initial balance level, the Option 2 trail locks at that initial balance forever. Same lock-in mechanic as Option 1, just measured at the daily close instead of intraday. The locked buffer = [profit target + trailing] same as Option 1.

Both options use the same EOD trailing drawdown, but Option 1 has no daily loss limit, so a bot running through a rough session is not auto-paused by a DLL trip. Option 2's DLL can cut a session short on a bad day. Algo traders on prop firm forums often pick Option 1 to give the strategy a full session to recover before EOD measurement.

5pm Central Time — CME futures session close. Settle prices at this moment determine the day's settled balance. If you have positions open at 5pm CT, the closing settle marks them and that mark becomes part of the EOD calculation.

No. Bulenox requires all positions flat by approximately 4:50 PM CT on both Option 1 and Option 2. The EOD trail mechanic is a settle-time concept, but holding overnight is still prohibited. Re-entering a position at session open the next day is fine.

Within the trading day, yes. Within a multi-day swing, no — same flat-by-close rule applies. So Option 2 helps strategies that take wider intraday excursions, not strategies that need to hold for days. For multi-day holds, you would need a different prop firm structure.

Account fails. The breach is detected at session close. You receive a breach email overnight and the evaluation/Master Account is disabled. From there: reset on evaluation, or re-evaluate from a new purchase if the Master Account breached.

Yes for most. PickMyTrade users running TradingView strategies into Bulenox via Rithmic frequently pick Option 1 because it has no daily loss limit — bots can take a rough session without a same-day kill-switch tripping. PMT's Bulenox setup guide recommends Option 1 unless your strategy benefits from Option 2's hard same-day DLL guardrail.

$10K → $400, $25K → $500, $50K → $1,100, $100K → $2,200, $150K → $3,300, $250K → $4,500. The DLL applies only to Option 2; Option 1 has no DLL. Numbers are denominated in realized PnL on the day and reset at the next session.

Realized — Option 2's DLL triggers when closed PnL on the day hits the negative threshold. Unrealized losses do not directly trigger the DLL. The EOD trailing drawdown (which is identical on both options) measures at the daily settle, so unrealized intraday giveback is forgiven if you close above the trail.

No — the evaluation has no consistency rule. You can hit the entire profit target in a single trade or session if you want. This is one of Bulenox's most-cited features on prop firm forums versus competitors that enforce 30-50% best-day caps during evaluation.

Yes. The funded Master Account applies a 40% best-day consistency rule on payouts — your single largest daily PnL cannot represent more than 40% of your total payout-eligible PnL. This is a soft constraint that gates payout eligibility, not account closure. Trade additional days to dilute concentration if the rule is tripping you.

On Option 2, hitting the DLL disables trading for the rest of that calendar day. The account is not failed — you resume the next session with a fresh DLL buffer. The EOD trailing drawdown is what kills the account, not the DLL. Option 1 has no DLL, so this rule doesn't apply there.

No. Bulenox does not require stop-loss orders on every trade. That said, given the EOD trailing-drawdown mechanic on both options, running unstopped is operationally risky — a single unrecovered loss day can move the EOD trail or trip Option 2's DLL. Most prop firm forum veterans recommend bracket orders by default.

Bulenox does not explicitly ban martingale or grid bots, but they are practically deadly under the trailing drawdown structure. Most attempts blow up the account well before the strategy mean-reverts. PMT supports gridding strategies if you choose to run them but does not recommend doing so on prop firm accounts.

Yes — there is no progressive scaling rule. From day 1 of the evaluation you can use the full per-size contract cap. This is friendlier than firms with mandatory tier-up scaling. Most disciplined traders still stair-step from 1 contract upward to manage risk.

10 minimum trading days on the Master Account before the first payout. The evaluation itself has no fixed minimum-day requirement — you can pass the profit target whenever you hit it. But once funded, you must trade on at least 10 distinct calendar days before your first payout request will be honored. A "trading day" requires at least one closed trade.

No hard maximum on the evaluation. You can stay in the evaluation as long as you keep paying the monthly subscription. Some traders take 3-6 months to pass; others pass in days. The evaluation itself has no minimum-day floor — the 10-trading-day minimum applies only to the Master Account before your first payout.

After hitting the profit target without breaching the EOD trailing (and the DLL on Option 2), request the upgrade in the Bulenox dashboard, sign the Master Account agreement, and pay the one-time tiered activation fee (~$98 on $10K up to ~$490 on $250K). Bulenox provisions the funded account within 24-48 hours. From there you must log 10 trading days before your first payout.

No — the Master Account has no recurring profit target. You trade for payouts indefinitely as long as you don't breach the EOD trailing drawdown. The DLL still applies on Option 2 funded accounts; Option 1 funded has no DLL.

Yes. The Master Account requires 10 trading days before the first payout. Payouts are processed weekly on Wednesdays once you become eligible. Many traders trade 12-15 days then request their first payout to preserve padding above the 10-day floor.

Yes — full CME futures suite is available, subject to the contract-size cap for your account size. Many funded traders rotate between ES/NQ, MES/MNQ, CL, and GC depending on the day's volatility. PickMyTrade routes TradingView alerts across all available symbols simultaneously.

Same EOD trailing values as the evaluation across both options. The trailing line on the funded Master Account starts at the initial balance and is locked there from day one — so the trailing is effectively a static drawdown unless you build the account up via realized profits. The 40% best-day consistency rule also applies to Master Account payouts.

Inactivity for an extended period (typically 30+ days with zero trades) may trigger account suspension or closure. Bulenox encourages active trading on funded accounts. If you need a break, log a few low-risk trades to keep the activity timestamp current.

Any calendar day on which at least one trade closed. Open trades that span midnight without a closed leg do not count toward the day. Sunday CME open through Monday close counts as Monday only. Place at least one round-trip per day during the activation window to satisfy the rule.

Yes. PickMyTrade routes TradingView alerts to your Bulenox account via Rithmic automatically — you can run a low-frequency strategy that places one or two trades per day without manual screen time, satisfying the 10-trading-day Master Account requirement while you focus on other accounts. Many PMT users use this approach to keep multiple Bulenox Master Accounts active.

100% to the trader on the first $10,000 of lifetime Master Account profits, then 90/10 (trader/Bulenox) afterward. The 100% threshold is cumulative across the lifetime of the Master Account, not per payout. The structure is identical across all sizes and both Option 1 and Option 2. Industry-leading among futures props.

$1,000 minimum per payout request. This is in line with Apex and Topstep, which also require around $1,000 for the first payout. Bulenox processes approved payouts weekly on Wednesdays. To request your first payout you also need 10 trading days on the Master Account.

Bulenox pays out weekly on Wednesdays. Once you've cleared the 10-trading-day Master Account requirement and the $1,000 minimum, you can request a payout on each weekly cycle. You cannot stack requests — one active payout request per Master Account at a time.

Wire transfer (US and international), Wise, Deel, PayPal, and crypto (USDT) via NOWPayments. Method availability varies by country. Wise and crypto are most popular for international funded traders; US traders typically use wire or PayPal.

Typical processing is 1-3 business days from approval. Payouts are reviewed manually. prop firm forums reports show occasional delays into the 4-7 day range during high-volume weeks (end of month, post-FOMC) but these are exceptions, not the norm.

No. Bulenox requires a buffer to remain in the account after payout — typically you can withdraw up to your accumulated profit minus a starting-balance reserve. The balance reserve preserves the trading capacity of the Master Account.

No published maximum on Master Accounts beyond the available withdrawable PnL. Some Bulenox traders on prop firm forums have reported $20K-$50K single-payout requests being honored. The 90% split applies regardless of size.

Yes. If your single best trading day exceeds 40% of your total payout-eligible PnL, the payout is capped or postponed until you trade additional days to dilute the concentration. Bulenox enforces the 40% best-day rule on funded payouts only — not on the evaluation.

No withholding at source for non-US traders. US traders receive 1099-NEC at year-end if total payouts exceed $600. Tax responsibility lies entirely with the trader. Most jurisdictions characterize prop-firm payouts as self-employment or trading income — consult a local tax pro.

Yes — each Master Account is treated independently. Traders running 3-5 Bulenox funded accounts in parallel via PickMyTrade can request payouts on each account separately as soon as each meets the 10-trading-day minimum and the $1,000 minimum, on each weekly Wednesday cycle.

PickMyTrade aggregates per-account PnL across your full Bulenox stack so you see realized profits per Master Account in one dashboard. This is especially useful for traders running, say, two $50Ks plus three $100Ks plus one $250K — PMT shows which accounts are payout-eligible at a glance.

Approximate caps in mini contracts (with 10x in micros): $10K → 3 minis, $25K → 5, $50K → 10, $100K → 12-15, $150K → 15, $250K → 15-20. Caps are total open contracts across all instruments, weighted by margin requirement. Verify exact numbers per current Bulenox spec sheet.

Yes — and 10 micros count as 1 mini for sizing-cap purposes (since the contract value is 1/10 of a mini). Most cautious traders start in micros (MES, MNQ, M2K, MYM) to keep tick risk low while learning Bulenox's trailing mechanics.

Yes. Orders that exceed the cap are rejected at the broker level by Rithmic. You don't lose the account by accidentally placing an oversized order — the platform simply blocks it.

No — contract caps are per account size, not per option. The Option 1 vs Option 2 distinction is only about drawdown style. Both options at $100K share the same approximate 12-15 mini cap.

There is no required progressive scaling — you can use full size from day 1. That said, most disciplined traders stair-step from 1-2 contracts upward, especially while learning how the EOD trailing reacts to size. PMT lets you set a per-account contract cap below the firm's max as a self-imposed safety.

Generally no — Bulenox restricts to outright futures only. CME options on futures are blocked at the platform level. If options trading is essential, look at Earn2Trade or an evaluation-funded firm with explicit options support.

Calendar and inter-product spreads are technically possible since both legs are outright futures, but each leg counts toward the contract cap independently. Most spread traders find Bulenox's caps too tight for ladder strategies — single-symbol directional is the bread-and-butter.

PickMyTrade auto-clamps alert size to your configured per-account cap. So if your TradingView alert calls for 20 ES contracts but your $100K Bulenox account is capped at 12, PMT will scale the order to 12 automatically — no rejection, no missed trade.

No explicit news-blackout rule. You can trade through FOMC, NFP, CPI, and other tier-1 events without violating any rule. This is friendlier than firms like FTMO that enforce 2-minute pre/post-news bans on certain instruments.

No. All positions must be flat by approximately 4:50 PM CT — 10 minutes before CME settle. The platform automatically liquidates open positions at the cutoff. This applies to both Option 1 and Option 2 evaluations and Master Accounts.

No. Friday close requires flat positions just like every other day. Holding into Sunday's CME open is not permitted.

Yes. The platform itself flattens positions at the daily cutoff if you forget. There is no "you violated overnight" account closure for accidental holds — the system simply closes the position at market. The PnL impact is yours.

Same consequences as any other breach — account fails. The auto-flatten is not a get-out-of-jail card. If your position is deep underwater at 4:50 PM CT and the flatten realizes a loss that breaches the trailing drawdown, the account is closed.

Yes — CME's overnight session (5pm CT through next day's settle) is fully tradable. You just have to flatten by 4:50 PM CT each day. Asian-session and London-open scalpers can trade ES/NQ/CL/GC during their hours and exit before US settle.

You cannot hedge across different Bulenox accounts (e.g., long ES on one, short ES on another) — that's banned as a circumvention of risk rules. Within a single account, hedging the same symbol simultaneously is also typically not supported by the platforms (long and short ES net out to flat).

Yes — copy-trading the SAME-direction strategy across multiple accounts is allowed and is one of Bulenox's most-used multi-account patterns. PickMyTrade enables this natively: one TradingView alert fans out to your full Bulenox stack at once.

Yes — Bulenox is one of the most automation-friendly futures props in 2026. EAs, bots, TradingView Pine strategies, NinjaScript, and external APIs are all permitted. The firm explicitly markets to algo traders and has not restricted automation in recent rule updates.

Yes — TradingView alerts can route to Bulenox accounts via Rithmic using PickMyTrade as the bridge. PMT receives the TradingView webhook, validates it, and places the order on your Bulenox-linked Rithmic account in under 200ms. (Bulenox is a Rithmic-based firm; Tradovate is not a direct Bulenox platform.)

PMT connects to your Rithmic account that hosts the Bulenox sim. TradingView alerts sent to your PMT webhook URL fire trades on the Bulenox account through the Rithmic gateway. Single TradingView strategy → multiple Bulenox accounts simultaneously, $50/month flat regardless of how many accounts you connect.

Yes — PMT's core feature. One TradingView alert fans out to up to 20 Bulenox accounts (or however many you have) in parallel. Each account uses its own per-account size. PMT handles the routing, retries, and per-firm risk caps.

Yes. A single TradingView alert via PickMyTrade can simultaneously fire on Bulenox, Apex, MFFU, Tradeify, and Topstep accounts — diversifying firm-specific risk like rule changes, outages, and ban surges. This is the primary reason multi-firm prop traders use PMT.

Yes. NinjaScript bots run natively on NinjaTrader 8 connected to Bulenox via Rithmic. Custom Python or Java algos can hit the Rithmic R|API directly. Bulenox does not require pre-approval for algos — just abide by the standard rules (no cross-account hedging, no exploiting fills).

Yes — strategies that exploit fill latency, sim-vs-live price differentials, or quote stuffing are explicitly banned in Bulenox's TOS. Standard algos that simply automate human-style decisions are fine. The line is "exploit the sim mechanics" vs. "automate a normal strategy" — only the former is banned.

Yes — most common Bulenox automation pattern. Build/buy a Pine Script strategy, set webhook alerts to PickMyTrade, and PMT routes to Bulenox via Rithmic. Examples: ORB strategies, VWAP reclaim, trend continuation Pine scripts. Works on Option 1 or Option 2 (Option 1 recommended for most bot setups since it has no DLL).

Yes. PickMyTrade supports per-account daily-loss kill-switches that mirror the Bulenox Option 2 DLL (and let you impose a self-defined daily floor on Option 1, which has no native DLL), contract-size caps that match each account's max, and a global account-pause toggle. So if you're running 10 Bulenox accounts and one bot misbehaves, PMT can shut down just that account without affecting others.

No — flat $50/month covers unlimited Bulenox accounts. Compared to other automation tools that charge $25-$50 per account per month, PMT's pricing model is built for traders running multiple Bulenox Master Accounts in parallel.

Bulenox is a Rithmic-based firm. Primary supported platforms are Rithmic R|Trader Pro and NinjaTrader 8. Additional supported platforms include Tiger Trade, Quantower, and ATAS. Sierra Chart, MotiveWave, and Bookmap also work via Rithmic. TradingView is supported for charting and alerts via webhook bridges like PickMyTrade — it is not a direct execution platform. Tradovate is NOT a direct Bulenox platform.

Yes — Rithmic is the default and primary Bulenox platform. All Bulenox accounts route through the Rithmic gateway. Rithmic suits traders using NinjaTrader 8, Sierra Chart, R|Trader Pro, Quantower, ATAS, or Bookmap. There is no native Tradovate option on Bulenox.

Yes — because all front-ends route to the same Rithmic gateway, you can switch between Rithmic R|Trader Pro, NinjaTrader 8, Tiger Trade, Quantower, ATAS, Sierra Chart, and Bookmap without changing accounts. There is no Tradovate option to switch to or from — Bulenox does not support Tradovate directly.

TradingView has no native Bulenox integration. You bridge it through PickMyTrade: TradingView alert → PMT webhook → PMT routes the order to your Bulenox account via Rithmic. Setup takes about 10 minutes once your PMT and Bulenox accounts are linked.

No. As of February 2026, ProjectX is exclusive to Topstep — other firms like MFFU, TickTick Trader, Tradeify and Bulenox do not use ProjectX. Bulenox runs natively on Rithmic. Verify on bulenox.com if you need the latest, but ProjectX has not been an option for Bulenox traders.

Rithmic R|Trader Pro is free to use with Bulenox. CME Pro live data is approximately $130/month for non-pro feed users (free for retail non-pro). NinjaTrader 8 free version covers Bulenox basics; live data fees apply. Quantower, ATAS, and Tiger Trade each have their own license fees on top — verify per-platform pricing on each vendor's site.

Yes — NinjaTrader 8 connects to Bulenox via Rithmic. NinjaScript bots run natively. NinjaTrader's Strategy Analyzer, Market Analyzer, and Order Flow indicators all work on Bulenox sim accounts. Free NT8 plus Rithmic is the most common setup for chart-heavy Bulenox traders.

Yes — both connect to Bulenox via Rithmic. Sierra Chart and Quantower are popular among professional Bulenox traders for their depth-of-market and spread tools. PickMyTrade integrates with both via the underlying Rithmic gateway.

Yes via Tiger Trade mobile and TradingView Mobile (iOS/Android), and via the Rithmic mobile front-end. NinjaTrader Mobile is limited and not recommended. PickMyTrade users running TradingView mobile alerts can route trades from anywhere with cell service — fully hands-free Bulenox trading.

Tiger Trade or Quantower for the easiest learning curve, both connected via Rithmic. Once you want richer charting and bots, move to NinjaTrader 8 (free). All routes ultimately go through Rithmic, so you can swap front-ends without changing your Bulenox account. TradingView pairs cleanly with PickMyTrade as the webhook bridge into Rithmic.

Yes. Bulenox offers a paid reset that re-zeros the evaluation balance and re-activates the trailing drawdown buffer without requiring a new full purchase. Reset is cheaper than a fresh purchase at full price but more expensive than a fresh promo-coded purchase.

Approximately $80-$100 depending on account size — verify the current sliding scale at the Bulenox dashboard. The reset price is independent of original promo discounts; it's a one-time fee per reset.

Bulenox occasionally runs reset-specific promos (50% off resets, free reset weekends). Watch the Discord and the affiliate-network deal pages. End-of-month is the most common reset-promo window.

No. Once you've placed at least one trade, the evaluation fee is non-refundable. This is industry standard. Pre-trade refund requests within a short window after purchase may be honored on a discretionary basis — open a support ticket immediately if you change your mind before placing a trade.

The Master Account activation fee (tiered: ~$98 on $10K up to ~$490 on $250K) is non-refundable. If your funded account breaches before you take a payout, the activation fee is gone. This is a sunk cost to budget for when planning Bulenox unit economics.

Usually yes vs. full-price new purchase, but often NO vs. a promo-coded fresh purchase. Run the math: a new $50K under an 80% off recurring promo can be cheaper than the $80-$100 reset fee. Check the active promo before resetting.

No published limit. Some traders reset 3-5 times before passing. Bulenox doesn't blacklist serial-resetters as long as the account is paid for each cycle. Note: the Master Account itself cannot be reset — only the evaluation. A breached Master Account requires a fresh evaluation.

Some Bulenox affiliates run free-reset giveaways monthly. Watch prop firm forums contests and Discord giveaway threads. PickMyTrade does not offer Bulenox-reset codes directly but PMT users running multi-firm setups often qualify for community-affiliate reset bundles.

Yes. The Bulenox affiliate program pays 10-15% recurring commission on referred evaluation purchases. Top affiliates report monthly commission income in the four-figure range. Apply via the Bulenox dashboard "Affiliate" tab.

Three sources: Bulenox's own Discord (most up-to-date), prop firm forums "deals" megathread (community-curated), and major prop-firm affiliate review sites. Codes typically rotate at the start of each calendar month.

Yes if you expect a 2+ month evaluation. A recurring 80% off code locks the discounted rate for the entire evaluation life — for a 3-month evaluation, that's 3x the savings of a first-month-only code. Choose recurring whenever it's available.

PickMyTrade does not bundle Bulenox evaluations directly, but PMT does run periodic "first month free" promotions on the $50/month PMT subscription that pair well with Bulenox discount months. Watch the PMT homepage and Discord for the current PMT-side offer.

Bulenox runs an "ambassador" program for content creators with proven payout history and an audience. Tier benefits include higher affiliate commission, custom codes, and co-marketing opportunities. Apply through the affiliate portal once you have a documented payout track record.

Apex is the largest US futures prop with the deepest scaling plan. Bulenox wins on EOD trailing (both Bulenox options trail on settled EOD balance versus Apex's intraday trailing) and on the 100% / first-$10K-then-90/10 split structure. Both firms require around $1,000 for the first payout. Apex wins on brand maturity. Many traders run both side-by-side via PickMyTrade.

Topstep is the OG futures prop (founded 2012) and runs on TopstepX (Topstep's ProjectX-based front-end — ProjectX is exclusive to Topstep as of February 2026). Bulenox runs on Rithmic with multiple front-ends (R|Trader Pro, NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, Tiger Trade, ATAS). Topstep's split scales; Bulenox is 100% on the first $10,000 of lifetime Master profits, then 90/10. Bulenox is more bot-friendly; Topstep is more brand-trusted.

MFFU runs on its own front-end backed by Rithmic/Tradovate after being forced off ProjectX (ProjectX became Topstep-exclusive in early 2026). Bulenox is purely Rithmic-based. MFFU's plans include Lite/Starter/Expert/Eval tiers with aggressive 90%/100% splits; Bulenox offers 100% on the first $10K of lifetime Master profits then 90/10. MFFU's "Eval" model has tighter consistency rules; Bulenox uses a 40% best-day rule. Most multi-firm traders run both side-by-side via PickMyTrade.

Tradeify was forced off ProjectX in early 2026 (ProjectX is now Topstep-exclusive) and has migrated to its own Rithmic-backed setup. Tradeify offers Advanced / Straight-to-Funded plans; Bulenox is more conservative in plan structure. Tradeify's payout cadence is similar to Bulenox's weekly Wednesday schedule; both pay roughly 90% with first-bracket bonuses. Bulenox supports a broader range of front-ends (NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, Tiger Trade, ATAS) via Rithmic.

TickTick Trader was forced off ProjectX in early 2026 (Topstep is now the only firm on ProjectX) and has moved to a Rithmic-backed setup. TPT historically used a flat-fee approach and has lifetime-funded structures Bulenox doesn't match. Bulenox uses EOD trailing on both Option 1 and Option 2. Splits are roughly comparable. TPT is better for traders who want one-time fees; Bulenox is better for recurring-promo discount stackers.

Earn2Trade uses a more education-focused 2-step model with an LMS and instructor support. Bulenox is pure trading — no curriculum. E2T's profit splits scale 50% to 80%; Bulenox pays 100% on the first $10,000 of lifetime Master profits then 90/10. E2T for new traders who want education; Bulenox for experienced traders who want max payout efficiency.

Diversification of firm-specific risk: rule changes, payout delays, ProjectX migration disruptions, sudden TOS amendments. Running Bulenox + Apex + MFFU + Tradeify simultaneously through PickMyTrade means a single bad firm-week doesn't kill your overall income. PMT's flat $50/month makes this multi-firm strategy economical.

Bulenox typical processing is 1-3 business days, Apex similar, Topstep 2-5 days, MFFU 1-3 days. prop firm forums payout-tracker threads update monthly — Bulenox sits in the upper half of the speed ranking consistently. Crypto payouts (Wise/USDT) tend to clear fastest across all firms.

Bulenox is among the top tier alongside Tradeify and Earn2Trade. No HFT, no latency arb, but standard automation (TradingView, NinjaScript, EAs, Pine Script bots) is permitted without pre-approval. Apex is automation-friendly but has tighter trailing; Topstep restricts certain copy-trade patterns.

If you're new to futures props, Bulenox's EOD trailing (on both Option 1 and Option 2) and the 100% / first-$10K-then-90/10 split make it forgiving on intraday MFE swings. If you want the deepest scaling and largest brand presence, Apex. Minimum payouts are similar (~$1,000) at both. The optimal answer for most active traders is "both" — run them in parallel via PickMyTrade.
