Bulenox Rules Explained: Option 1 vs Option 2 (2026)

At Bulenox you pick your risk model before you buy, and you can't switch later. Option 1 is a real-time trailing drawdown with full contract size and no daily loss limit. Option 2 is an end-of-day drawdown with a daily loss limit and a scaling plan. There is no minimum number of trading days, so you can pass in one day.

Option 1 has no daily loss limit. Option 2 starts with fewer contracts and unlocks more as your profit grows (2 to 7 on a 50K).

Option 1: real-time trailing drawdown

Your floor follows your highest balance in real time, including open profit and commissions. It only moves up. If an open trade drags you below it, that's a breach, even if the trade would have come back.

Example: 100K, $3,000 drawdown
  1. Floor starts at $97,000.
  2. A trade takes your balance to $100,800. Floor moves to $97,800 right away.
  3. You close at $100,500. The floor stays at $97,800.

Option 2: end-of-day drawdown + daily loss limit

The floor only moves when you close the day at a new high. On top of that there's a daily loss limit, tracked in real time from 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM CT. Hitting it disables trading for the rest of the day but is not a rule violation.

Example: 100K, $3,000 drawdown
  1. Floor starts at $97,000.
  2. Day 1 closes at $101,000. Floor moves to $98,000.
  3. Day 2 closes at $100,500. No new high, floor stays at $98,000.
  4. Day 3 closes at $102,500. Floor moves to $99,500.

Your max loss today

Option 1: your balance minus your floor, and it shrinks every time open profit sets a new high. Option 2: the smaller of your daily loss limit and your balance minus your floor. All positions must be closed by 3:59 PM CT.

After you pass: the Master account

In the Qualification account the drawdown trails the whole time. On the Master account it locks at your starting balance + $100 (on a 50K, once your balance reaches $52,600). On Option 2, the daily loss limit is removed at the same moment. Master payouts need a best day under 40% of your total profit and 10 trading days before each payout.
