How to pass Bulenox (2026 rules)

Bulenox runs a three-stage path — Qualification → Master → Funded — across $10K–$250K. The defining choice is made at checkout: Option 1 uses a real-time trailing drawdown (following unrealized P&L) with no daily loss limit and full contracts from day one; Option 2 uses an EOD drawdown with a daily loss limit and a scaling plan.

Which option for a systematic strategy

Option 1's real-time trailing tightens on every unrealized peak, which punishes any intraday heat. Option 2's EOD drawdown only recalculates at the close, so intraday swings that recover don't move the floor — the regime PVE's sizing targets. For a systematic intraday edge, Option 2 is usually the right fork, the daily loss limit being a manageable single-session guardrail.

Algo-friendly, news-friendly, metals included

Two things make Bulenox convenient for PVE. First, it places no restriction on news trading — rare in mid-tier futures prop, and one less thing to wire into your automation. Second, its 42 instruments include metals, so MGC (micro gold) is tradable alongside MNQ. The platform is primarily NinjaTrader with broad platform support, and the firm is explicitly oriented toward algo trading.

How to pass it

Size against your chosen floor (Option 2's EOD floor for the cleaner systematic fit), clear the 6% target, and plan around the 40% consistency rule that applies at payout on Master/Funded — keep no single day above 40% of total profit. The payout model is distinctive: you keep 100% of the first $10,000, then 90/10, with weekly Wednesday payouts. Evaluations are unlimited in duration, so there's no clock forcing oversized risk.
