Bulenox Option 1 vs Option 2: which format for a systematic strategy
Bulenox sells the same account in two formats chosen at purchase. The amounts match; the clock, the caps and the daily limit do not.
Bulenox plans on one grid
| Rule | Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown clock | trailing in real time (one tracker describes it as EOD) | end-of-day |
| Drawdown amount | $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,500 on 50K / 100K / 150K | same |
| Daily loss limit | none | yes, by size, on realized daily loss; removed on the Master Account once the drawdown reaches the starting balance |
| Contract access | full from day one: 7 / 12 / 15 on 50K / 100K / 150K | scaling by profit: 50K 2 → 4 above $1,500 → 7 above $4,000 |
| Lock | starting balance + $100 | same |
| Consistency | none in Qualification; 40% on every Master payout | same |
| Minimum days | none to pass; 10 trading days before the first payout | same |
| Automation | EAs, bots and copiers explicitly permitted | same |
| Hours | 5 pm to 4 pm CT, flat by 3:59 pm CT, no weekends | same |
Which one for a systematic strategy
Option 2 for any strategy that gives back open profit inside the session: the floor moves once a day and the daily loss limit is on realized loss only. Its scaling plan starts at 2 minis on a 50K, so size for the first rung. Option 1 for tight-stop, single-position systems that want the full 7 minis immediately and never leave a position running against them, because the floor follows every tick.
