FuturesElite vs Bulenox

Prime: $600, $1,200, $1,800 or $2,700 measured from the higher of balance and equity at the previous daily close; hitting it is a soft breach that locks the account for 24 hours. Elite: none by default, or the same soft lock on any size if chosen at checkout, applying in the evaluation and once funded. None on Nitro and Instant.

Option 2 only. Soft breach: trading is disabled for the rest of the session and resumes next session (realised and unrealised P&L plus commissions, 5:00 pm to 4:00 pm CT). Qualification and Master: $500, $1,100, $2,200, $3,300, removed on a Master Account once the drawdown locks. Fast Track: none on 25K, then $1,200, $2,500, $3,300, never lifted. Momentum: $600, $1,200, $2,500, $3,300. Option 1 accounts have no daily loss limit.

End of day trailing on Elite, Prime and Instant, locking at the starting balance once enough profit is made (Elite 25K: at the starting balance once $1,000 profit is made; Elite 50K to 150K: the floor locks at $100 above the start). Nitro: end of day trailing in the evaluation, intraday trailing on equity when funded until it locks $100 above the starting balance. Limits $1,000 (25K), $2,000 (50K; $1,800 on Instant), $3,000 (100K), $4,500 (150K).

Chosen at purchase and locked for the life of the account, on every plan. Option 1: trailing drawdown calculated in real time on the highest account value, including open profit and commissions (intraday trailing), with no daily loss limit and full contract size. Option 2: end of day drawdown that moves only when the account closes at a new high, paired with a daily loss limit. On Master and Fast Track accounts the threshold stops permanently at starting balance plus $100 (for example $50,100 on 50K, reached at $52,600 on a Qualification Master). Live Funded Accounts start with their own end of day drawdown of $1,500, $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500 by Master size.

Evaluation: Elite 3 with the 40% consistency option or 2 with the 50% option; Nitro 2 on 25K and none on larger sizes; Prime none. Funded payouts: Elite 6 profitable days of at least $100 to $350 depending on size; Prime 3 on 25K only; Nitro 1; Instant 10. Trades held 10 seconds or less, or making $20 or less net profit per contract ($2 on micros), are classed as scalping; in evaluations scalp profit above 50% of the target holds the upgrade for manual review.

None to pass Qualification or Momentum. Master Account: 10 trading days per payout. Momentum Master: 5 qualifying profitable days per cycle ($100, $150, $200 or $250 net by size). Fast Track: none.

None to pass. Accounts with no trade for 29 days are terminated; Instant accounts bought after 23 November 2025 need a trade at least every 7 days.

Qualification and Momentum access is valid for 30 days (a reset does not extend it); one time fee with no renewal. No time limit stated for Master, Momentum Master or Fast Track accounts.

Tier 1 news (employment reports, CPI, EIA and key agricultural reports) allowed in evaluations. On funded accounts, trades in a restricted news window are voided rather than breached. Not allowed on Nitro Sim Funded accounts. Straddles and strangles around news prohibited.

No overnight or weekend holding; all positions are closed automatically at 4:55 PM EST. Live accounts must be flat 15 minutes before the close.

Fully automated AI or bot trading and HFT prohibited. Martingale and grid allowed; DCA allowed if not the primary strategy. An in house copier can mirror trades across the trader's own accounts; VPS, VPN or trade copier use must be declared to support. Hedging across accounts, users or firms prohibited. One trader per household.

Bots, algorithms and trade copiers permitted if user built for the account owner's personal use only; commercial, shared, rented or publicly distributed automation is not allowed. Connecting to Rithmic through a third party API or Trader Composite Software costs $100 a month. One Bulenox profile and one Rithmic User ID per trader.

Elite: 40% or 50% in the evaluation, chosen at checkout on every size, none once funded. Prime: none in the evaluation, 40% when funded. Nitro: 50% in the evaluation, none funded. Instant: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third. Breaking it delays a pass or payout rather than breaching the account.

None in the Qualification or Momentum evaluation. Master Account (Qualification path): best day no more than 40% of total P&L, measured for each payout period and reset after every approved payout (the Safety Threshold Reserve counts in the first calculation). Momentum Master: 35% per payout cycle. Fast Track: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third. Missing the ratio is not a breach; the trader keeps trading until it is met.

KYC through Veriff before the funded upgrade; approval in about 24 hours on average (reviews take 24 to 72 working hours), with approved payouts credited as Elite Credits. Elite: 50% of account profit up to the cap after 6 qualifying days. Prime and Nitro: a buffer of the maximum loss plus $100 must be built and can never be withdrawn. Instant: first payout profit goal of $1,750 to $10,000. AML rules may route part of a payout back to the purchase payment method.

Master Account: 10 trading days, 40% consistency, and a balance covering the Safety Threshold Reserve ($1,600, $2,600, $3,100, $4,600) plus the request; the first three payouts are capped at $1,000, $1,500, $1,750 and $2,000; from the fourth payout each request must be less than 50% of the account’s total profit. Fast Track: first payout goal $1,500, $3,000, $6,000, $9,000, then $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,500 of new profit per cycle; caps $1,000, $2,000, $2,500, $3,000 for payouts 1 to 3 and $1,250, $2,500, $3,000, $3,500 after. Momentum Master: minimum balance $26,500, $53,000, $104,500, $156,500; first payout caps $1,000, $1,500, $2,000, $2,500, rising to $1,000, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 from the fourth. A withdrawal form, ID and a hand signed IRS Form W9 (US persons) or W8BEN (others) are required. Bulenox charges no transfer fee.

Elite: after every 6 qualifying profitable days. Nitro: every 24 hours once $500 is withdrawable above the buffer. Prime and Instant: once the buffer or profit goal, consistency and minimum days are met.

Master Account: every 10 trading days, processed weekly on Wednesdays (requests by 11:59 pm CT Friday). Fast Track and Momentum Master: request once cycle criteria are met; processed the same day (Fast Track states requests before 12:01 pm CT Monday to Friday are ordinarily processed the same day).

Not applicable; contract limits Elite 2, 4, 8 and 12; Prime 2, 4, 6 and 10 minis (or 10 micros per mini); Nitro 2, 5, 8 and 10; Instant 4, 4, 8 and 12 (25K to 150K).

Not applicable; contract limits of 3, 7, 12 and 15 minis on Qualification, Master and all Option 1 accounts (Option 2 Qualification scales up to these), and 2, 4, 8 and 12 minis on Option 2 Fast Track and Momentum accounts. 1 mini equals 10 micros.

No account size scaling. Elite funded accounts use contract scaling (for example 50K: 2 contracts below $2,500 profit, 4 from $3,500). Prime and Instant have full contract limits from day one. The 4th consecutive successful Elite payout is the usual path to a live account, at the discretion of the Risk Team; a Nitro account moves to live when one day's profit reaches $4,000 to $10,000 by size, with profit above that cap forfeited.

Option 2 Qualification and Master accounts use a dynamic scaling plan based on cash on hand (for example 50K: 2 minis up to $1,500 profit, 4 minis to $4,000, 7 minis above). Fast Track and Momentum Option 2 accounts have fixed, lower limits with no scaling. Up to five Master level accounts (Master, Fast Track, Momentum Master) can be held at once; Qualification accounts are unlimited. After three successful payouts a Master level account may be considered for a live Funded Account at Bulenox's discretion, and other active Master level accounts with at least one payout may move with it, each to its own Funded Account. Profits do not transfer; each Funded Account starts with an initial end of day drawdown of $1,500, $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500.
