The5ers Futures vs Bulenox

2.5% daily drawdown on 100K and 150K accounts (Day Trade and Swing); reaching it permanently terminates the account. None on 25K and 50K.

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.

4% trailing, calculated from the highest midnight (end of day) balance or equity, in both evaluation and funded stages. No lock level stated.

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.

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.

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.

Day Trade: no overnight holding; close all positions and orders at least 10 minutes before the market close. Swing: overnight holding of 1 mini or 10 micros (25K, 50K), 2 minis (100K), 3 minis (150K). No weekend holding on either program.

High frequency trading, algorithmic trading and hedging are forbidden. Copy trading only between the trader's own 25K and 50K accounts, up to $75,000 in total.

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.

Per position: the best single trade must be less than 40% of total profit to qualify for a payout or scale up (evaluation and funded).

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.

Funded account at least 14 days old with 4% profit on the initial balance. Caps per payout: $1,250 on 25K; 3% of initial balance on 50K to 150K (e.g. $3,000 on 100K). Evaluation fee refunded on the third payout.

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.

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).

Rise (3.5% commission), Crypto (3.5% commission), Bank transfer (3.5% commission), Hub credits (no commission, non withdrawable, for program purchases only)

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.

Each 10% profit milestone (with consistency met and positions closed) triggers a risk review and a new account with 5% more balance plus the trader's 80% share of profit, and one more mini (10 micros) in contract limits, up to $500,000.

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.
