Bulenox Master account rules, size by size
A Bulenox Master account keeps the risk model you chose and locks the drawdown at the start plus $100. A payout needs ten trading days in the cycle, a 40% consistency rule and a balance above the safety reserve plus $1,000; the first three payouts are capped. You keep 90%, and after three payouts live may follow.

"Balance to request" is the starting balance plus the safety threshold reserve plus the $1,000 minimum payout. Contract limits depend on the risk model, so they're below instead of in the table.
Your risk model carries over
The Master account keeps the option you picked in Qualification:
- Option 1, trailing: the floor follows your highest point in real time, open profit included. Full contract size from the start: 3, 7, 12 or 15 minis.
- Option 2, end of day: the floor moves once a day at the close, contracts scale up with your balance, and a soft daily loss limit ($1,100 on the 50K) pauses the day. The daily limit disappears once the drawdown locks.
Either way the drawdown locks for good at the starting balance plus $100. On a 50K the floor starts at $47,500 and locks at $50,100 once the account reaches $52,600. Crossing it closes the Master account.
The payout checklist
- Ten trading days in the current payout cycle.
- The 40% rule on every request, counted fresh after each payout.
- Above the reserve. The balance must stay above the starting balance plus the reserve ($2,600 on the 50K), and the request needs at least $1,000.
- Within the cap. Payouts one to three are capped by size; from the fourth, a request must be under 50% of the account's total profit.
Requests made by Friday 11:59 PM CT are processed on Wednesday. You keep 90%.

After three payouts
Bulenox may offer you a Funded account after three successful payouts on your Master accounts. It's not automatic, and declining closes the Master account it applies to. The Funded account starts fresh: Master profits don't transfer.
Stay active
Trade at least once a week, or the account can be put on hold or disabled.
Practice it
FundedSim doesn't simulate Bulenox yet. If you trade Option 2, the Apex End of Day and Topstep accounts in the simulator train the same end-of-day habit; for Option 1, the Apex Intraday accounts are the closest match. Check the 40% rule per cycle with the consistency calculator.
Questions people actually ask
How much do I need before my first Bulenox payout?
The starting balance plus the safety threshold reserve plus the $1,000 minimum payout. On a 50K that's $50,000 + $2,600 + $1,000 = $53,600.
Does the Bulenox consistency rule apply to every payout?
Yes. The 40% rule applies to every payout request and starts over after each payout.
What does a Bulenox Master account cost?
A one-time activation fee and no monthly payments: $143 on the 25K, $148 on the 50K, $248 on the 100K and $498 on the 150K.
Do I have to move to a Bulenox Funded account?
No, it's offered after three successful payouts and isn't automatic. If you decline the offer, the Master account it applies to is closed.
