Bulenox is a futures prop firm founded in 2022 and operating as Bulenox LLC out of Wilmington, Delaware. It uses a three-stage model — Qualification (Evaluation) → Master (Sim-Funded) → Funded (Live). The firm is best known for aggressive promotional pricing, a 100%-of-your-first-$10,000 profit split, and a Trustpilot rating around 4.8/5.
Bulenox suits cost-conscious futures traders. The Trailing product (currently 89% off with code 5JESS) is the cheapest route to a Master account and lets you trade full size from day one with no daily loss limit. The EOD product (45% off with code BAZKV) adds an end-of-day trailing drawdown that is more forgiving of intraday dips, a daily loss-limit guardrail, and a dynamic scaling plan.
The 30-second verdict
Want the absolute cheapest entry and full contract size immediately? Take the Trailing 25K (about $16 with 5JESS). Want a more forgiving end-of-day drawdown plus contract scaling? Take the EOD (about $80 with BAZKV). Both share the same profit targets, drawdowns and weekly-Wednesday payouts, keep 100% of your first $10,000 (then 90%), and apply a 40% consistency rule with a 10-trading-day minimum on the Master account. One caveat on cost: the one-time Master activation fee is only reasonable on the two smallest sizes — $143 (25K) and $148 (50K) — before it climbs steeply to $248 (100K), $498 (150K) and $898 (250K), so the larger accounts get expensive fast.

Bulenox vs. its closest competitors
How Bulenox stacks up against Topstep and Tradeify — the two firms we most often compare it with.
| Metric | Bulenox | Topstep | Tradeify |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50K Eval Fee | $175$19 | $165$85 | $145$87 |
| Profit Split | 100% first $10K, then 90% | 90% / 10% | 90% / 10% |
| Days to Payout | 10 Trading Days | 5 Trading Days | 1-5 Days |
| Drawdown Type | Trailing or EOD (choose) | EOD Trailing | EOD Trailing |
| Max Accounts | Up to 11 | 5 | 5 |
| Instant Funding Option | No | No | Yes (Lightning) |
| CPF Score | 4.3 | 4.9 | 5.0 |
💡 Bottom line: Bulenox wins on price and split — the cheapest promo entries in the category plus 100% of your first $10K. Topstep brings a longer track record, strong brand recognition and on-request payouts; Tradeify offers an instant-funding path (Lightning) and faster day-to-day payouts. If entry cost is your priority, Bulenox is hard to beat.
- 1-step evaluation
- Pass in as little as 1 day
- No consistency rule during eval
- Path to Live Funding
- Payouts after 5 winning days
- Traders new to prop firms
- Those who want lowest entry cost
- Traders who prefer a DLL safety net
- Traders who want a daily loss-limit guardrail (use EOD)
- Traders who want EOD drawdown forgiveness (use EOD)
- High-frequency scalpers
Bulenox competes almost entirely on price. With the standing promos — 89% off the Trailing product with code 5JESS and 45% off the EOD product with BAZKV — the cost to reach a Master account is among the lowest in the industry, sometimes a fraction of what comparable firms charge. Pair that with a 100%-of-your-first-$10,000 profit split and weekly Wednesday payouts, and the value proposition is clear.
Trailing vs. EOD: which product to pick
The two products share the same profit targets, drawdown amounts and contract limits — they differ in how the drawdown trails. The Trailing product trails your balance in real time (including open profit) and has no daily loss limit, so you get full contract size immediately but must manage intraday risk tightly. The EOD product only trails at the close, which forgives intraday dips, and adds a daily loss limit plus a dynamic scaling plan. Newer or swing-leaning traders usually prefer EOD; experienced scalpers who want full size and the cheapest entry lean Trailing.
The Qualification is genuinely fast
There is no minimum number of trading days to pass the Qualification — you need a single trading day and the profit target without breaching the drawdown. Resets are cheap ($78, or free on your billing date if you breached before it). You can stack up to 11 Master accounts, running three at a time, which suits traders who want to diversify across setups.
Where Bulenox isn't perfect
Payouts are weekly on Wednesdays rather than on-demand, and the Master account carries a 40% consistency rule plus a 10-trading-day minimum before your first withdrawal. The data stack is Rithmic-only — there's no native Tradovate or TradingView (you'd bridge in via a third-party tool), and "pro" Rithmic data status costs about $112–$116/month. There's no overnight or weekend holding (flat by 15:59 CT).
None of those are dealbreakers for a disciplined intraday trader. If your priority is the cheapest legitimate path to funded futures capital with a strong split, Bulenox is hard to beat. If you need on-demand payouts, native TradingView/Tradovate, or overnight holds, look at Topstep or Tradeify instead.
What you need to know
Four key rules that govern how eligibility works in practice.
What account products does Bulenox offer?
Two evaluation products at five sizes ($25k–$250k): the Trailing Drawdown (a real-time, intraday trailing max-loss with no daily loss limit and full contract size from day one) and the EOD Drawdown (an end-of-day trailing max-loss that is more forgiving of intraday dips, with a daily loss limit and a dynamic scaling plan). Both share the same profit targets, drawdown amounts and contract caps.
How does the Qualification → Master → Funded path work?
Bulenox uses three stages. You buy a Qualification (the evaluation) and hit the profit target without breaching the drawdown — no minimum number of trading days. You then move to a Master account, a simulated-funded account where payouts are earned (weekly on Wednesdays, after 10 trading days). After three successful Master payouts — and at the Risk Management team's discretion — you transition to a real-capital Funded account: your active Master accounts are consolidated into one Funded account (with a balance cap of $2,500 on a 25K up to $25,000 on a 250K), and the payout minimum drops to 5 trading days.
How and when does Bulenox pay out?
On the Master account you need at least 10 trading days, a $1,000 minimum withdrawal, and your best single day under 40% of total profit (the consistency rule). Payouts are processed weekly on Wednesdays via ACH/Wire, PayPal or Wise. Your first $10,000 is paid at 100%, then the split is 90/10.
How many accounts can I run at once?
You can hold up to 11 Master accounts, with up to three active simultaneously. Each additional account unlocks as a previous account's drawdown threshold reaches its starting balance. All accounts sit under a single Rithmic ID.
Can I trade news, use bots, or hold overnight?
News trading, dollar-cost averaging, and bots/algorithms/trade copiers are all allowed — Bulenox does not provide algorithms itself but does not forbid them, and markets itself on trading without restrictions on your own plan. The one hard rule is no overnight or weekend holding: all positions must be flat by 15:59 CT, and weekends/holidays don't count as trading days.
What's the difference between the two promo codes?
The Qualification is a monthly subscription with the same base price for either product at each size — 25K $145, 50K $175, 100K $215, 150K $325, 250K $535 per month. Promo codes can reduce that at checkout: this page reflects 5JESS (Trailing) and BAZKV (EOD); Bulenox also runs site coupons such as $50OFF and $60OFF. Pick the product first based on the drawdown style you want, then apply the current code.
What platforms and data feed does Bulenox use?
Bulenox is Rithmic-based and supports 18+ platforms including NinjaTrader 8 (a free license is included), R|Trader Pro, Quantower, Sierra Chart, ATAS, Bookmap, MultiCharts and more. There is no native Tradovate or TradingView (you'd bridge in via a third-party tool), and Rithmic runs on Windows only (not macOS). The non-pro Rithmic data feed is free; pro data status costs about $112–$116/month. New Rithmic users can also start with a free 14-day (10 trading day) Rithmic trial before buying a Qualification.
Is Bulenox legit?
Bulenox operates as Bulenox LLC, founded in 2022 and based in Wilmington, Delaware. It holds a Trustpilot rating around 4.8/5 from roughly 1,600 reviews. As with any prop firm, read the rulebook carefully — particularly the intraday-only and consistency rules — before purchasing.
