Bulenox rules by account size (25K, 50K, 100K, 150K): Qualification targets, Trailing vs EOD drawdown, daily loss limit and Master Account payouts, plus Fast Track and Momentum

All figures come from bulenox.com: the Accounts & Pricing page (plan cards for Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum), the FAQ page and the Help Center, whose articles bulenox.com loads from its own content system and links as bulenox.com/help-center/<section>#<article>. We read the English versions on 15 October 2026. Where two Bulenox pages give different figures for the same thing we say so below rather than pick one. Marketing lines such as Payouts everyday are not repeated as rules; the daily payout line applies to Fast Track and Momentum accounts, not to the regular Master Account.

What this means for you: Every Bulenox figure here is from bulenox.com; anything we worked out ourselves is tagged Ours.

The Qualification Account is Bulenox's evaluation. Profit targets are $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 and $9,000 on the 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K accounts, and the drawdown is $1,500, $2,500, $3,000 and $4,500. List prices are $145, $175, $215 and $325, paid once, with access valid for 30 days; the price is the same whichever risk model you pick. There is no minimum trading day requirement, so you can complete the challenge in as little as one day, and a trading day only counts when you open at least one trade. The trading day runs from 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM CT (6:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET), all positions must be closed by 3:59 PM CT (4:59 PM ET) and holding positions overnight is strictly prohibited. News trading is allowed (CPI, FOMC, NFP, with no blackout windows). Standard and micro contracts can be traded together, and one standard contract equals ten micro contracts. Bots, algorithms and trade copiers are permitted, but only user-built tools intended solely for the account owner's personal use; commercial, shared, rented or publicly distributed automation tools are not allowed, and connecting to Rithmic through a third-party API or composite software adds $100 per month. The Qualification rules article does not mention a consistency rule. If you hit the maximum drawdown the account is suspended; a reset costs $78, returns the balance to its starting value, clears previous profits, losses and trading days, and does not extend your 30-day access period.

What this means for you: Pick the size by the target and contract limit you need, then plan to be flat by 3:59 PM CT (4:59 PM ET) every day.

Bulenox makes you choose a risk model before you buy, and the choice is locked for the life of the account (Qualification and Master). Option 1, the No Scaling Account, uses a Trailing Drawdown that follows the account's highest value in real time, including unrealized profit and commissions, and never moves back down; you trade full contract size from day one (3, 7, 12 and 15 contracts by size) and the cards say No daily loss limit, which gives no daily loss limit on Option 1. Option 2, the EOD Account, updates the drawdown once per trading day from the closing balance, adds a Dynamic Scaling Plan based on Cash on Hand and adds a daily loss limit of $500, $1,100, $2,200 and $3,300 by size, so on the 50K it is $1,100 on Option 2 (EOD). On the 50K the Option 2 scaling ladder reads Up to $1,500: 2 • $1,501–4,000: 4 • $4,001+: 7, so the 50K allows 7 (Option 1 Trailing); 2, 4 or 7 by Cash on Hand (Option 2 EOD Dynamic Scaling Plan). On the Accounts & Pricing page the Option 2 Qualification cards print Contracts EOD 3, 7, 12 and 15 for the 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K, which is the top of each ladder; the Option 2 article starts a fresh account, with no Cash on Hand, at 2, 2, 3 and 5 contracts. Bulenox's Master article defines Cash on Hand as the amount by which your balance exceeds the starting balance; it does not state whether the contract limit is re-checked during the trading day. Hitting the daily loss limit disables trading for the rest of the trading day, is not a rule violation, and trading resumes at the next session; falling below the drawdown threshold suspends the account. Bulenox's Option 1 example: on a 100K account open profit peaks at $100,800, which moves the threshold from $97,000 to $97,800, and it stays at $97,800 after the trade is closed with a $500 profit. Its Option 2 example: a 100K account that closes Day 1 at $101,000 moves the threshold from $97,000 to $98,000, and a lower close on Day 2 leaves it there.

What this means for you: Decide before you buy: on Option 1 open profit you give back still lifts the threshold; Option 2 caps each day and starts you on fewer contracts.

Passing does not open a Master Account automatically: the Qualification Account is reviewed, then Bulenox emails a completion certificate, the Master Account Agreement and activation instructions. Each Master Account needs a one-time activation fee of $143, $148, $248 and $498 by size (the same for Option 1 and Option 2) and has no monthly fees; the fee includes market data and account maintenance; once an activation link is issued it is valid for 7 days, and that 7-day clock does not run while the account is still waiting in the Master Account queue (the queue wait is not stated). Once the Master Account is approved, the Qualification Account is closed automatically. The Master Account keeps the size and Option chosen at Qualification. Its drawdown ($1,500, $2,500, $3,000 and $4,500) stops moving for good at the starting balance + $100: on the 50K the initial threshold is $47,500 and the drawdown locks at $50,100 once the account reaches $52,600. On Option 2 the daily loss limit ($1,100 on 50K) is permanently removed once the EOD Drawdown locks. The Master Account requires at least one trade per week. You can hold up to five active Master-level accounts (Master, Fast Track and Momentum Master combined), while Qualification Accounts are unlimited. On Option 1 the Master trailing drawdown still counts open profit until it locks: Bulenox's example is a 50K Master Account whose value reaches $51,000, which moves the threshold to $48,500, and unrealized profit can move the threshold even if the position is later closed for a smaller profit or a loss. The Qualification Option 1 and Option 2 articles describe this lock only for the Master Account; no lock is stated for the Qualification Account. If a Master Account falls below its drawdown threshold it is closed; a Master Account Reset can be arranged for an additional fee that Bulenox calculates individually for each account, so no fixed price is stated.

What this means for you: Budget the activation fee on top of the Qualification price, and treat the Master drawdown as live until it locks.

To request a payout from a Master Account you must have at least 10 individual trading days per payout, request at least $1,000 (minimum payout $1,000), keep the Safety Threshold Reserve ($1,600, $2,600, $3,100 and $4,600 by size), meet the 40% Consistency Rule and submit the payout and tax documents (W-9 or W-8BEN, signed by hand, plus ID). The 40% Consistency Rule on every Master Account payout request is: Best Day P&L ÷ Total P&L × 100 must be 40% or less, and for the first payout the Safety Threshold Reserve is included in the calculation; missing it does not close the account, you keep trading, and the calculation resets after each payout. On a 50K Master Account the minimum $1,000 payout needs a balance of at least $53,600, and at least $52,600 must remain after the payout. The maximum payout is $1,000, $1,500, $1,750 and $2,000 by size for the first three payouts, with no maximum after the third payout. The Help Center wording on the split is: the trader receives 90% of each additional payout; Bulenox receives a 10% commission. The FAQ says it more plainly: The split is 90/10 in your favour. Master payouts are processed once a week, on Wednesdays; requests submitted by 11:59 PM CT (12:59 AM ET next day) on Friday go into the following Wednesday's cycle. Payouts go by ACH or wire transfer or PayPal, and Bulenox does not charge a transfer fee. For each later payout another 10 trading days must be completed after the previous payout period has been completed; weekends, public holidays and the days between the request and the Wednesday processing date do not count. Subject to the Master Account Agreement, the Safety Threshold Reserve may be requested when that agreement is terminated.

What this means for you: Your first payout needs the reserve plus $1,000 of profit, 10 trading days and a best day of 40% or less of Total P&L, with the reserve included in the first-payout calculation.

After three successful payouts on your active Master Accounts you may be considered for a live Funded Account; the transition is at Bulenox's discretion and is not automatic after the third payout. Other active Master-level accounts with at least one successful payout may also be considered, each becoming its own Funded Account. Profits in the Master-level account do not transfer; instead each Funded Account starts with an Initial EOD Drawdown of $1,500, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,500 by Master Account size.

What this means for you: Three Master payouts make you eligible for review, not funded; Master profits do not carry over.

Fast Track skips the qualification stage: a one-time fee of $338, $488, $648 and $788 by size, with no activation fee and no monthly subscription. Option 1 has a Trailing Drawdown of $1,000, $2,250, $4,000 and $5,500 and a contract limit of 3, 7, 12 and 15 minis; Option 2 has the same EOD Drawdown amounts, no daily loss limit on the 25K, then a daily loss limit of $1,200, $2,500 and $3,300 that is never lifted, and 2, 4, 8 and 12 minis (20, 40, 80 and 120 micros) with no scaling plan. The first payout profit goal is $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 and $9,000, later payouts need $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,500 in new profit, the consistency maximum is 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third, the minimum payout request is $1,000, and the maximum for payouts 1–3 is $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 and $3,000. A Trader keeps 90% and Bulenox retains 10%, and requests before 12:01 pm CT (1:01 pm ET) Monday to Friday are ordinarily processed the same day.

What this means for you: Fast Track costs more than the Qualification price but skips the Qualification and the activation fee.

Momentum is a qualification paid once that includes the Momentum Master stage, activated free of charge. One-time fees are $94, $143, $248 and $358; profit targets $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 and $9,000; drawdown $1,000, $2,250, $4,000 and $5,500; Option 2 daily loss limit $600, $1,200, $2,500 and $3,300; contract limits 3, 7, 12 and 15 minis on Option 1 and 2, 4, 8 and 12 minis on Option 2. There is no minimum number of trading days and no consistency requirement at the qualification stage, which is valid for 30 calendar days. Momentum Master payouts need five qualifying profitable days ($100, $150, $200 and $250 net), the 35% consistency rule and a minimum balance of $26,500, $53,000, $104,500 and $156,500; on the 50K the payout caps are $1,500, $2,000, $2,500 and then $3,000 for the fourth and later payouts. The Momentum articles we read do not state a profit split, so we do not give one.

What this means for you: Momentum's one fee includes its Master stage, with its own drawdown and payout rules.

Bulenox's FAQ (read on 18 October 2026) says bots, algorithms and trade copiers are permitted; only user-built tools intended solely for the account owner's personal use are permitted; commercial, shared, rented or publicly distributed automation tools are not allowed. Because these tools are developed and maintained by their users, Bulenox says it cannot provide support or accept responsibility for their uptime, reliability or performance. The FAQ and the Qualification Account help page both say a $100 monthly fee applies if you connect to Rithmic through a third-party API or composite software.

What this means for you: Your own bot or copier is fine on Bulenox; shared or rented tools aren't, and a third-party API on Rithmic costs $100 a month.

These are TradeDesk HQ calculations from the Bulenox figures above, not figures Bulenox publishes. Target ÷ drawdown is 1.0 on the 25K ($1,500 ÷ $1,500), 1.2 on the 50K ($3,000 ÷ $2,500) and 2.0 on the 100K and 150K. On Option 2 the daily loss limit is 33% of the drawdown on the 25K, 44% on the 50K and 73% on the 100K and 150K. Assuming no profit in between, the drawdown covers 3 full daily-loss-limit days on the 25K ($0 left), 2 on the 50K ($300 left), and only 1 on the 100K ($800 left) and the 150K ($1,200 left); Bulenox suspends an account when it falls below the threshold, so exactly reaching it is a boundary case Bulenox does not spell out. With one standard contract equal to ten micros, Option 1 allows up to 30, 70, 120 or 150 micros, and a fresh Option 2 account with no Cash on Hand starts at 2, 2, 3 and 5 contracts (20, 20, 30 and 50 micros), rising to 3, 7, 12 and 15 as Cash on Hand grows; during a run of losing trades Cash on Hand does not rise, so the limit stays at that first step. On a Master Account the first $1,000 payout needs profit of at least the Safety Threshold Reserve plus $1,000: $2,600 on the 25K, $3,600 on the 50K, $4,100 on the 100K and $5,600 on the 150K, that is balances of $27,600, $53,600, $104,100 and $155,600 (Bulenox gives the 50K figure itself). Taking the maximum first payout needs $2,600, $4,100, $4,850 and $6,600 of profit. On the 25K the minimum and maximum of each of the first three payouts are both $1,000. Each Safety Threshold Reserve equals the drawdown plus $100, which is also the profit at which the Master drawdown locks (balances of $26,600, $52,600, $103,100 and $154,600), so a first-payout balance is already above that lock value, and after any payout that respects the reserve at least the original drawdown ($1,500, $2,500, $3,000 or $4,500) is left above the locked threshold. On Option 2 the lock follows a close at that level, so check the dashboard. The 50K is the only size whose Funded Initial EOD Drawdown ($2,000) is smaller than its Master drawdown ($2,500). Against the Qualification drawdown, Fast Track and Momentum drawdowns are $500 smaller on the 25K, $250 smaller on the 50K and $1,000 larger on the 100K and 150K. List cost to reach a Master Account without resets, Qualification price plus activation fee, is $288 on the 25K ($145 + $143), $323 on the 50K ($175 + $148), $463 on the 100K ($215 + $248) and $823 on the 150K ($325 + $498). These are list prices before the always-on coupon, whose discount amount is not stated and which is described for Qualification, Fast Track and Momentum accounts, not for the activation fee; they leave out resets, the professional data fee and the $100 per month third-party API fee. Momentum's one-time fee ($94, $143, $248 and $358) includes its Momentum Master stage, but Momentum is a different product: a different drawdown, fixed Option 2 contract limits with no scaling, five qualifying profitable days and a 35% consistency rule. The losing-trade ladder at the top of this page uses CME contract point values (MNQ $2, MES $5, NQ $20 and ES $50 per point), not Bulenox figures, and its TOO TIGHT, WORKABLE and COMFORTABLE tags are a TradeDesk HQ rule of thumb: the drawdown is used up within 5 losing trades, within 6 to 9, or not before trade 10.

What this means for you: These ratios show how much room each size's limits leave; they are our arithmetic, not Bulenox figures.

Professional market data: the Status article and the Accounts & Pricing page say professional traders pay $116 a month for CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX data, while the Rithmic Connection article says $112 per exchange. Fast Track funded review: the Help Center says after at least three payouts, and since 21 October 2026 the FAQ says After 3 payouts too (it said After 3 payouts and 30 trading days before). The 50K Option 2 daily loss limit is $1,100 on Qualification and Master Accounts but $1,200 on Fast Track and Momentum, which are different products, so check which account a figure belongs to. Time limit: the FAQ says there is no minimum and no maximum number of trading days for the Qualification, while the Accounts & Pricing cards say access is valid for 30 days and the reset article says a reset does not extend your 30-day access period; only the Momentum article says calendar days. Non-professional traders pay nothing extra for exchange data.

What this means for you: When two Bulenox pages disagree, plan on the stricter reading and confirm with Bulenox.

We did not use the commission rate sheet or the platform setup pages for figures, and we do not cover live Funded Account trading terms beyond the transition rules above. Bulenox's always-on coupon lives on our Bulenox firm page, not in this rules table.
