Bulenox

Bulenox review: our verdict

Bulenox suits futures traders who want a low one-time entry price and who are happy to work on Rithmic-based platforms. Since August 2026 it sells three products side by side: the original Qualification account, a cheaper two-stage Momentum account and a higher-priced Fast Track account that skips the evaluation. On each one you choose between a trailing drawdown with full contract size from day one, or an end-of-day (EOD) drawdown with a daily loss limit and smaller size. The trade-offs are a 30-day window to pass, a strict ban on overnight positions, and master-account payout rules that the official help pages list only as headings, so you cannot read every withdrawal condition before you buy.

Bulenox scores 7.6/10 in our futures rankings and sits at number 6 of the futures firms we track. It scores well on price, drawdown choice and Trustpilot sentiment, and loses points for transparency on payouts and for the frequent product changes this year. You can see how we weight each factor on our methodology page.

Programs and pricing

All three programs are one-time purchases in US dollars, as listed on bulenox.com. There is no monthly subscription for new accounts; Bulenox moved its original accounts off monthly billing on August 17, 2026, according to reporting at the time, and existing subscribers kept their old model. The BULENOX code applies what the firm calls the best available discount to Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum Qualification accounts, without stating a percentage.

Account size	Qualification	Momentum	Fast Track
$25,000	$145	$94	$338
$50,000	$175	$143	$488
$100,000	$215	$248	$648
$150,000	$325	$358	$788

Qualification is the classic route: pass the evaluation, then pay a Master activation fee. The official pages we could read do not print that fee. A secondary source, Prop Trading Vibes (August 2026), reports $143, $148, $248 and $498 for the four sizes, with seven days to use the activation link; treat those figures as unconfirmed. Momentum is cheaper and, per its help page, "one payment covers both stages" and the Momentum Master is activated free. Fast Track costs more because there is no evaluation; Bulenox states there is "no activation fee and no monthly subscription", and calls the price "a one-time, non-refundable fee".

Evaluations are valid for 30 calendar days. Resets are available before expiry on Qualification and Momentum, but the official pages we checked do not print a reset price, and third-party reports say a reset does not extend the 30-day window. Bulenox does not advertise a fee refund on passing, and Fast Track is explicitly non-refundable. Non-professional exchange data is free; professional data for CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX costs $116 a month, and connecting through a third-party API or trade-composite software to Rithmic costs $100 a month.

Trading rules explained

Profit targets

Targets are 6% of the starting balance on every size: $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 and $9,000 for the 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K accounts. Fast Track has no evaluation target, but third-party reports describe a first-withdrawal target of the same amounts.

Daily loss limit

Only the EOD option (Option 2) carries a daily loss limit. On Momentum it is $600, $1,200, $2,500 and $3,300 by size; Fast Track uses the same figures except that the 25K has none. Bulenox's pricing page says hitting it pauses trading for the rest of the day rather than closing the account, and the Fast Track page says it stays active for the life of the account. The pages do not say whether it is measured on open or closed profit and loss, so assume open trades count.

Maximum drawdown

This is the choice that defines a Bulenox account, and it is locked for the life of the account. The trailing option follows your highest balance in real time, including open profit, and never falls back. The EOD option only moves once a day at the close, based on realised profit, so a winning trade that reverses during the session does not drag the floor up. On Momentum the drawdown is $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,500; on Fast Track it is $1,000, $2,000, $4,000 and $5,500 (a secondary source says the 100K is actually $3,000, which shows how fast these pages change); on Qualification the pricing page says "up to" $1,500, $2,500, $3,000 and $4,500. The Fast Track page states that the drawdown stops rising once it reaches the starting balance plus $100 and then becomes a fixed floor. The other pages do not state a lock level.

Minimum days and time limits

There is no minimum number of trading days to pass a Qualification or Momentum evaluation. A day counts only if you open at least one trade. The 30-day validity window is the real time limit.

Consistency rules

The Momentum help page has a "35% Consistency Rule" heading but, when we checked, no text explaining it. Third-party sources describe a 35% rule on Momentum and a stepped 20%, 25% and 30% rule on Fast Track withdrawals. We could not confirm how either is calculated on the official site, so read the rule in your dashboard before you trade for a payout.

News trading

The FAQ lists a question on news trading but did not display an answer when we checked, and the program pages do not address it. We could not verify Bulenox's news policy.

EAs, copy trading and hedging

The FAQ lists questions on bots, algos, trade copiers and hedging, again without visible answers. What is published is that third-party API and composite-software connections to Rithmic carry a $100 monthly fee, which implies some automated or external tools can connect. Confirm the specific tool with support before using it.

Overnight, weekend and inactivity

The trading day runs from 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM Central Time. All positions must be closed by 3:59 PM CT, and holding overnight is "strictly prohibited". Weekends and public holidays do not count as trading days. The Master account page has an "Inactivity Rule" heading, but its terms were not displayed.

Worked example

Take a Momentum 50K account with the EOD option: a $143 fee, a $3,000 target, a $2,000 EOD drawdown, a $1,200 daily loss limit and a 4-mini contract cap. You start at $50,000 with a loss floor of $48,000 and need to close at $53,000.

1. Day 1: you make $800 and close at $50,800. At the close the floor moves up to $48,800.
2. Day 2: you lose $500 and close at $50,300. The floor stays at $48,800 because EOD drawdown never moves down.
3. Day 3: you lose $1,200 and hit the daily loss limit. Trading pauses for the day at $49,100. The account survives, but only $300 now separates you from the floor.
4. Day 4: you make $900 and close at $50,000. Your highest close is still $50,800, so the floor stays at $48,800.
5. Day 5: you make $1,000 and close at $51,000, a new high. The floor rises to $49,000.
6. Day 6: you make $1,000 and close at $52,000. The floor would rise to $50,000, unless Momentum uses a lock like Fast Track's (starting balance plus $100, or $50,100 here), which the Momentum page does not state.
7. Day 7: you make $1,000 and close at $53,000, hitting the target.

Total profit is $800 − $500 − $1,200 + $900 + $1,000 + $1,000 + $1,000 = $3,000. Your best day was $1,000, which is 33% of the total, so it would sit under a 35% best-day cap if one applied at this stage. The lesson from Day 3 is that the daily loss limit protects the account, but a single bad day can still leave very little room above the floor.

Payouts

Bulenox's master account pages list "Withdrawal Rules" as a heading without displaying the content, so we could not verify the split, minimums or caps on the official site. Third-party reporting from August 2026 says traders keep 100% of the first $10,000 per trader profile and 90% after that, that withdrawal requests before 12:01 PM CT on weekdays are processed the same day, and that methods are bank transfer, PayPal and Wise. The same reports say Momentum needs five qualifying profitable days per cycle ($100, $150, $200 or $250 depending on size), while Fast Track has no minimum days but per-withdrawal caps. Bulenox does publish that after three successful payouts a Master account may be considered for a funded account at the firm's discretion, and that declining the funded agreement closes the master account. Our Bulenox payout guide covers the steps in more detail, and how prop firm payouts work explains the general mechanics.

Platforms and instruments

Bulenox runs on the Rithmic data and order-routing network, and connects to Rithmic-compatible platforms such as NinjaTrader, Quantower, Sierra Chart and ATAS. The platform answer in the FAQ did not display when we checked, and a secondary source says Tradovate and native TradingView are not supported, so confirm your platform before buying. The FAQ lists 41 futures contracts on the four CME Group exchanges, covering equity indices, energies, metals, currencies, grains, livestock, Micro Bitcoin and Micro Ether. Every major product has a micro version, and one standard contract equals ten micros for position limits. You can hold up to five Master-level accounts at once across all three products, while evaluation accounts are unlimited.

Who can join

Bulenox LLC lists an address at 1201 N Orange St, Wilmington, Delaware, and US traders can sign up. The FAQ asks which countries are restricted and what identity checks apply, but the answers were not shown when we checked, so we could not verify the country list or KYC requirements. Expect to sign a Master Account Agreement and complete documents before activation, as the help center states.

Reputation and trader feedback

When we checked Trustpilot in November 2026, Bulenox had a TrustScore of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,827 reviews, with about 90% five-star and 4% one-star ratings. Common praise covers on-time payouts, responsive support and rules that reviewers find clear once they understand them. Some reviewers report payouts denied under a "flipping" rule, frustration with payout request limits and master activation fees, and a refused refund request. Trustpilot does not verify reviews. The main public change this year was the August 2026 relaunch, which added Fast Track and Momentum, removed the 250K size and moved original accounts to one-time pricing.

As with every prop firm, most traders do not pass evaluations, and the fee is money you should be prepared to lose.

Alternatives to Bulenox

• TradeDay: ranked just above Bulenox and a strong pick if a fast first payout matters most; see our Bulenox vs TradeDay comparison.
• My Funded Futures: our top-ranked futures firm overall, with more clearly published funded-account terms.
• Take Profit Trader: worth comparing if you want daily payouts from the first day funded.
• Lucid Trading: also uses one-time fees and EOD drawdown, with no payout buffer on LucidFlex.

How we verified this review

Checked November 2026. We read bulenox.com's accounts and pricing page, FAQ and the Qualification, Momentum, Fast Track, Master and Funded help-center pages, and took prices, drawdowns, daily loss limits, contract caps, the 30-day window, data fees and the overnight rule from them. Several sections on those pages (Master withdrawal rules, consistency, news, EAs, countries and KYC) showed headings without content, so payout split, payout methods, the Master activation fee and the consistency calculation come from secondary sources and are marked as unverified above. Trustpilot figures were checked in November 2026.
