Bulenox

Two different regimes are published and neither states a settlement time, so no single firm-wide duration is recorded. Fast Track and Momentum are same-day: “Requests submitted before 12:01 pm CT from Monday to Friday are ordinarily processed the same day. Weekends, banking holidays and compliance checks may extend processing.” The regular Master Account is weekly: “Payouts are processed once a week, on Wednesdays. To be included in the following Wednesday's processing cycle, submit your payout request by 11:59 PM CT on Friday.” The FAQ states both in one line: “You can request a payout any day of the week. On Fast Track and Momentum requests are processed the same day; on a regular Master Account they are processed every Wednesday.” “Processed” is never defined as “received”, and the only statement about the transfer leg is a fee disclaimer: “Bulenox does not charge a transfer fee. However, the receiving bank, intermediary bank or PayPal may apply its own fees.” Payment details must match the filed forms: “Make sure the beneficiary name, address and payment details match the information provided in your forms. Incorrect or inconsistent information may delay the transfer.”

Late — nothing is verified at signup and everything is verified before the first payout. Registration is four steps (name, email, login, password, account size) and the Accounts & Pricing page advertises “No background check”; the homepage “How It Works” panel repeats “No background check” as a registration bullet. On the Master Account: “All required documents must be submitted before the first payout is requested. Every trader must complete the Bulenox Withdrawal Information Form and include a valid identification document.” Tax status then splits the paperwork: “U.S. persons: completed and signed W-9; non-U.S. persons: completed and signed W-8BEN”, and “The W-9 or W-8BEN form must be signed by hand. Electronic signatures cannot be accepted.” Fast Track states the same gate in one sentence: to request a first payout you must “complete identity, tax and payment verification”; Momentum lists “completed verification” among its payout-cycle conditions. The FAQ describes the tax side from the trader's end: “Funded traders are independent contractors responsible for filing their own taxes. U.S. citizens receive Form 1099-NEC, while non-U.S. citizens receive Form W-8BEN.” No turnaround time is published for the check, and no identity provider is named.

“The trading day starts at 5:00 PM and ends at 4:00 PM the following day, North American Central Time (CT). Weekends and public holidays are not counted as trading days. All positions must be closed by 3:59 PM (CT).” The one-minute gap between the 3:59 PM flat-by deadline and the 4:00 PM session end is the firm's own wording and is stated identically on the Qualification, Master and FAQ pages. The daily loss limit is measured over the same window: it “is calculated using your realized and unrealized P&L, including commissions, between 5:00 PM and 4:00 PM CT”, and when it is hit “trading is disabled for the rest of the trading day. This is not considered a rule violation, and trading automatically resumes at the start of the next trading session.” A trading day is counted “only when a trader opens at least one trade.”

“There is no limit to the number of Qualification Accounts you can own. You may hold up to five active Master-level accounts in total — Master, Fast Track and Momentum Master in any combination.” The five are immediately available rather than unlocked in sequence: “All five can be activated right away — there is no unlocking sequence.” The limit is per trader, enforced through a single identifier: “Each trader may have only one Bulenox profile and one Rithmic User ID. Creating multiple profiles or using multiple User IDs is not permitted and may result in account suspension.” No household, address or IP rule is published. Balances do not pool: “Balances, profits and drawdown limits cannot be combined between accounts.”

No refunds, stated in three places that agree. Terms of Use: “REFUND AND RETURN — All sales are final and no refunds shall be issued.” Help Center, Return Policy: “Due to the nature of our digital services, refunds are not available once an account has been created and the service has been accessed.” FAQ: “Payments are non-refundable once the service has been used.” There is nothing to cancel because nothing recurs: “Your account is paid once and expires automatically at the end of its access period — no renewal and no recurring charge”; a trader who wants out early clicks Terminate, and “once an account is terminated, it cannot be restored.” The one refund-adjacent right published is a US state cooling-off notice in the Terms of Use, which the site does not repeat anywhere in the help centre or FAQ: “YOU UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN STATES ALLOW YOU TO CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION, AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF COMPANY'S THIRD BUSINESS DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCLUDING SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS… THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO INDIVIDUALS RESIDING IN STATES WITH SUCH LAWS.” The same Terms paragraph also means the amount charged can exceed the listed price, in two sentences the site repeats nowhere else: “Bulenox LLC reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. Sales tax will be added to the sales price of purchases as deemed required by Company. Company may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in U.S. dollars.” The Terms contain no chargeback or payment-dispute clause of any kind. Fast Track states its own fee is “a one-time, non-refundable fee”.

Master accounts require at least one trade per week and must not remain inactive for more than a week. Inactivity can cause the account to be held or disabled; contact the Help Desk to request a hold. Applicability to Fast Track and Momentum is not confirmed by this Master article.

Bulenox may approve a move from Master-level accounts to live Funded Accounts after three successful Rewards. Each eligible account is reviewed separately and becomes its own Funded Account; no balance, profit or equity transfers. The prior audit recorded conflicting live-trading wording in the Terms of Use, which was not rechecked in this focused update.

THREE PUBLISHED COUNTS THAT DISAGREE, all recorded. The rate-sheet PDF ends “40 instruments available” and lists exactly 40 rows; the FAQ says “41 futures contracts on all four CME Group exchanges — CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX”; the Help Center's Instruments & Commissions article names 43 symbols and closes with “Over 40 CME instruments, with clear per-side commissions and no hidden fees.” The 43 recorded here are the union: the rate sheet's 40, plus Nikkei NKD (NKD), E-micro Canadian Dollar (M6C) and Oats (ZO), which the Help Center names but the rate sheet omits. Exchange is taken only from the rate sheet's own exchange headings (CME Equity Indexes / Cryptocurrency / FX / Agricultures; CBOT Indices / Grains; NYMEX Energies / Metals — which is where the firm files Platinum; COMEX Metals), so the three Help-Center-only symbols carry a null exchange rather than an assumed one. Commissions are “all-in rates, per side (USD)” with “exchange and clearing fees… already included”: “Per side means the commission is charged for each filled contract on entry and again on exit”, and “Commissions are part of your P&L and count toward your drawdown and daily loss limit.” Sizing is by contract limit, not margin: “Standard and micro contracts can be traded simultaneously. One standard contract is equivalent to ten micro contracts.” The rate sheet is the only dated artefact on the site (“Updated Aug/11/2026”).
