Bulenox Rules
Every trading rule for Bulenox, per program and stage — drawdown, daily loss, consistency, and what you’re allowed to trade. Pulled from the Proplysis firm database, the same data that powers our breach alerts.
Option 1
| Payout Policy | Evaluation | Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Profit split | — | 100% until cumulative cap |
| Max per request | — | per-cycle table · 25K: 1st: $1,000 → 2nd: $1,000 → 3rd: $1,000 · 50K: 1st: $1,500 → 2nd: $1,500 → 3rd: $1,500 · 100K: 1st: $1,750 → 2nd: $1,750 → 3rd: $1,750 · 150K: 1st: $2,000 → 2nd: $2,000 → 3rd: $2,000 · 250K: 1st: $2,500 → 2nd: $2,500 → 3rd: $2,500 |
| Minimum withdrawal | — | $1,000 minimum per request |
| Cadence | — | requests on wednesdays |
| Payout limit | — | max 3 payouts, then converts to live |
| Buffer zone | — | max drawdown + $100 |
| Balance must stay above | — | $26,600 (25K) · $52,600 (50K) · $103,100 (100K) · $154,600 (150K) · $255,600 (250K) |
| Consistency rule | — | best day ≤ 40% of total |
| Trading days minimum | — | 10 trading days minimum |
| Drawdown floors | — | $1,500 (25K) · $2,500 (50K) · $3,000 (100K) · $4,500 (150K) · $5,500 (250K) |
| Method | — | PayPal · paypal · Usually within minutes · fee $0 |
| Fee refund | — | no fee refund |
| Notes | — | Payouts are made from the Master Account. min_balance_to_leave is each size's account size plus Bulenox's published Withdrawal Safety Threshold Reserve ($1,600 / $2,600 / $3,100 / $4,600 / $5,600); those reserves equal that size's max drawdown + $100 for all five sizes, matching the firm's statement that the trailing/EOD drawdown 'stops moving when it reaches the initial starting balance +100'. The maximum-withdrawal table is published as applying to the first 3 payouts only; after the third payout Bulenox confirmed (support ticket #ZSU-284396, 2026-07-20) that 'the usual payouts from the Master Accounts will no longer be processed' and the trader becomes eligible for transition to a Funded Account, which is not automatic and requires review by the Risk Management Department. Hence lifetime_payout_limit.count = 3 and no 'default' cycle key. |

| Notes | — | Same Master Account payout regime as Option 1 — the payout rules attach to the Master Account, not to the drawdown type, so only drawdown.type differs (eod vs trailing) plus Option 2's daily loss limit. The daily loss limit is a fixed dollar amount per account size ($500 / $1,100 / $2,200 / $3,300 / $4,500), so daily_loss carries no pct; the per-size table lives in object2_rules extra_rules.daily_loss_limit_by_size. Hitting it suspends the day and is explicitly not a rule violation. min_balance_to_leave derivation and the 3-payout ceiling are as described on the Option 1 policy. |
