Bulenox Moves to a 90% Split From the First Dollar

Bulenox has changed how it splits profits on its Master accounts. Traders used to keep 100% of their first $10,000 and 90% after that. Now Bulenox pays 90% of every payout, from the first dollar. Copilink logged the change on 20 October, and Bulenox’s Master account help page shows the 90% split with no 100% tier. Here is what it costs you and what else to know about getting paid at Bulenox.

What the change costs

On your first $10,000 of payouts you now keep $9,000 instead of $10,000, so the most the change can cost is $1,000. After that, nothing changes: it was 90% before and it is 90% now. If you withdraw less than $10,000 in total, the cost is simply 10% of what you withdraw.

For comparison, My Funded Futures, Tradeify and Topstep also pay 90%, FundedNext Futures pays 95%, and Apex Trader Funding pays 100% of approved payouts. Our guide to profit splits explains why the headline split is only part of the story.

How Bulenox payouts work on a 50K Master

• When: after at least 10 trading days, then every 10 trading days. Payouts are processed weekly on Wednesdays.
• How much: $1,000 minimum, and you must keep a $2,600 reserve in the account.
• Caps: $1,500 for each of the first three payouts. From the fourth, each request must be under 50% of your total profit.
• Consistency: 40% on the Master account.

Those rules matter more than the split. A 10 day cycle and a $1,500 cap mean money comes out slowly, and our guide to payout caps shows how that compares with other firms.

The rest of the costs

The 50K Qualification account costs $175 one time for 30 days of access, according to Bulenox’s pricing page. You choose either an intraday trailing drawdown of $2,500 with no daily limit, or an end of day drawdown with a $1,100 soft daily limit, and the choice stays for the life of the account. On the Master account the drawdown locks at $50,100 once your balance reaches $52,600. When you pass, there is a $148 activation fee on the 50K Master. That fee is one reason Bulenox appears in our list of firms that still charge an activation fee.

Also new: Tradovate

Bulenox has added Tradovate as a platform, PropScorer reported on 3 November. Copilink noted that Bulenox’s help centre now lists a $133 monthly professional data fee while its pricing page still shows $116, so check which applies if you are a professional trader. Most retail traders pay the non professional rate. Our guide to futures data fees explains the difference.

Is Bulenox still worth a look?

The split change brings Bulenox in line with most of its rivals rather than ahead of them. The bigger questions are the $148 activation fee and the slow payout rhythm.
