Overview

Bulenox is a futures prop firm that runs everything through Rithmic, covering all four CME Group exchanges. It suits day traders who want to pass quickly, since there's no minimum number of trading days, and who'd rather pick their own drawdown style.

How the evaluation works

Before you buy, you lock in one of two risk models. Option 1 trails your highest balance in real time, open trades included, with no daily loss limit. Option 2 moves the drawdown only at the close and adds a daily loss limit that pauses you for the day rather than failing the account.

  • Qualification: 6% target. The drawdown runs from 6% on the 25K to 3% on the 150K. Pass it and you pay a one-time fee to activate a Master account.

  • Momentum: the same 6% target with a drawdown between 3.7% and 4.5%, and the Master stage is included at no extra cost.

  • Fast Track: no target at all. You start in a simulated funded account from day one.

Rules worth knowing

You have to be flat by 3:59 PM CT every day, so overnight and weekend holds are out. News trading is fully allowed. Every payout cycle has a consistency rule on your best day. Momentum Master uses 35% with five qualifying profitable days, Fast Track starts at 20% and loosens with each payout, and regular Master accounts use 40% with 10 trading days. Qualification access lasts 30 days, and a reset costs $78.

Getting paid

The first $10,000 you withdraw is yours in full, and after that the split is 90%. Fast Track and Momentum payouts go out the same day you ask. Regular Master accounts are paid on Wednesdays. Money arrives by ACH, wire or PayPal, with a $1,000 minimum on Master accounts.

What traders say

Scores from the sites traders use, and our summary of what they're saying, checked 6 October 2026.

Bulenox is a futures prop firm with a small but very positive review base: 4.7 on Trustpilot from about 1,800 reviews. Most reviewers say they have been paid and that support sorts problems out quickly. The complaints are fewer and mostly about payout rules, in particular a rule on flipping positions, and about activation fees on the older account paths. Trustpilot notes that the firm invites customers to leave reviews, which is worth keeping in mind when reading the score.

What traders like

  • Payouts that arrive. Many Trustpilot reviewers say they have been paid more than once without delays, and a few compare it favourably with Apex on predictability.

  • Support staffed by people. Reviewers often mention quick, helpful replies from a real person, and some say support reversed a payout denial after looking again.

  • Clear rules and low prices. Several reviewers and Reddit posters call the rules simple and the evaluations cheap, especially with discounts.

  • Room to scale. Some like being able to hold several Master accounts at once.

Common complaints

  • Payout denials over trading rules. A 2025 Reddit thread from a trader says payouts were denied under a vague rule on flipping positions, and others in r/PropFirmTester mention the same rule.

  • Activation fees. Several Reddit posters say the fee to activate a Master account after passing was high.

  • Small balances only. Some say Bulenox suits regular small payouts, and that building a large balance for one big withdrawal doesn't work well there.

  • Dated tools. A few traders say the dashboard is basic and doesn't show a record of trades.

Recently

  • August 2026: Bulenox added a fourth route to funding, Momentum, a one-time evaluation where the Master account activates without a fee. Recent Trustpilot reviewers mention the new, shorter paths to a payout.

  • July to October 2026: the Trustpilot review count grew from about 1,700 to about 1,800 with the score holding at 4.7.
