Bulenox launches Fast Track and Momentum on August 17 and drops the subscription
Bulenox goes from two products to four on August 17. Momentum is a one-time-fee evaluation from $56.40 with the 40% launch discount, and the funded account is activated free of charge. The Fast Track direct pass starts at $202.80. The existing accounts stop being a subscription and keep their price.
Bulenox goes from two products to four on Monday, August 17. It is launching Fast Track, a direct pass that skips the evaluation, and Momentum, a one-time-fee evaluation where the Master account is activated free of charge. On top of that, the existing accounts stop being billed as a monthly subscription.
Data from Bulenox's official communication to its affiliates on August 14, 2026, expanded with the written answers the Bulenox team gave us to 21 specific questions that same day. The products are not on sale until the 17th, so we will check everything against the website and update this article and the Bulenox review on launch day.
Momentum: the activation fee is gone
Bulenox has always had two faces. Its evaluations are among the cheapest and the firm never gives you trouble when it is time to get paid, but the Master account activation fee is one of the most expensive around: $143 on the 25K and $498 on the 150K today, and from the 100K up it gets prohibitive.
Momentum removes that fee. You pay for the evaluation once and, when you pass it, the Master is activated at no cost.
| Size | Price | With the 40% launch discount | Target | Max loss | Daily loss (Option 2) | Contracts (Trailing / EOD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
| 25K | $94 | $56.40 | $1,500 | $1,000 | $600 | 3 / 2 |
| 50K | $143 | $85.80 | $3,000 | $2,250 | $1,200 | 7 / 4 |
| 100K | $248 | $148.80 | $6,000 | $4,000 | $2,500 | 12 / 8 |
| 150K | $358 | $214.80 | $9,000 | $5,500 | $3,300 | 15 / 12 |
What else it brings:
- 🟢 No minimum days to pass the evaluation. If you hit the target in one session without breaking a rule, you are through.
- 🟢 One-time fee, no monthly renewal. The evaluation does not charge you again if you take longer.
- 🟡 30 calendar days of validity. That is the price of dropping the subscription: you used to be able to stretch the evaluation as long as you kept paying; now there is a clock.
- 🟡 Reset available during the evaluation stage, but it does not restart the 30 days. And the price has not been published yet.
- 🟡 Five qualifying profitable days per payout cycle, and a day only counts if it adds at least $100 on the 25K, $150 on the 50K, $200 on the 100K and $250 on the 150K.
- 🟡 Minimum balance to request the first payout: $26,500 on the 25K, $53,000 on the 50K, $104,500 on the 100K and $156,500 on the 150K.
- 🟡 35% consistency on the Master account. Bulenox has confirmed to us that the 30% figure in their own documentation is a mistake.
- 🟢 No consistency rule during the evaluation, precisely because it can be passed in one day.
- 🟢 The Master drawdown is the same as the evaluation's, and the trailing stops moving once it reaches the initial balance + $100.
In money terms, the route to holding a 25K Master account goes from $288 at list price (evaluation plus activation) to $94. And with the 40% launch discount, to $56.40.
Fast Track: direct pass, with the fine print in the payouts
Fast Track skips the evaluation entirely. You pay once and start in a Fast Track Master Account.
| Size | Price | With 40% | Max loss | Daily loss (Option 2) | Contracts (Trailing / EOD) | First payout goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
| 25K | $338 | $202.80 | $1,000 | — | 3 / 2 | $1,500 |
| 50K | $488 | $292.80 | $2,250 | $1,200 | 7 / 4 | $3,000 |
| 100K | $648 | $388.80 | $4,000 | $2,500 | 12 / 8 | $6,000 |
| 150K | $788 | $472.80 | $5,500 | $3,300 | 15 / 12 | $9,000 |
This one deserves a slower read, because the headline is good and the conditions less so:
- 🟢 No minimum days before the first payout.
- 🟢 Same-day processing if you request the payout before 12:01 PM CT, Monday to Friday.
- 🔴 No reset option. If you blow the account, you buy a whole new one.
- 🔴 20% consistency on the first payout, 25% on the second and 30% from the third onward. It is the strictest rule in the entire Bulenox catalogue, where the existing accounts sit at 40%. At 20%, no single day can contribute more than a fifth of your total profit: two good days in a row and you are forced to keep trading to dilute them.
- 🔴 The first payout goal is larger than your max loss on all four sizes. On the 25K you have to make $1,500 with a $1,000 drawdown; on the 150K, $9,000 with $5,500. You have to travel further than they let you lose before you touch any money.
- 🟡 From the second payout the goal drops: $1,000 on the 25K, $2,000 on the 50K, $3,000 on the 100K and $4,500 on the 150K.
- 🟡 Payout caps of $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 on the first three, rising to $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,500 from the fourth onward.
- 🟢 As on Momentum, the trailing stops moving once it reaches the initial balance + $100.
- 🟡 The 25K is the only Fast Track without a daily loss limit; every other size has one.
The split does not change in either product: the first $10,000 of profit are yours at 100%, and 90/10 after that. That tier is counted per trader profile, not per account: it is a single allowance, not one for every account you open.
Neither product has a contract scaling plan tied to balance, which Option 2 on the existing accounts does have. Bulenox has chosen to give fewer contracts up front and drop the scaling.
The account limit drops from 11 to 5
It was not in the launch announcement, but Bulenox confirmed it to us plainly when we asked. Until now you could hold up to 11 Master accounts at Bulenox, and it was one of its arguments against the rest of the field. From the 17th the maximum is 5 active accounts, counted across all three products together: Master accounts from the existing plans, Momentum Master and Fast Track combined.
You can hold all three products at once, but within that cap of 5.
What each route costs to get paid
This is where you really see what changed. All figures on the 25K account, which is the one people buy most:
| Existing accounts | Momentum | Fast Track | |
|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | -- | -- |
| Entry price | $145 | $94 | $338 |
| With a discount | $15.95 (ETFOFF −89%) | $56.40 (−40%) | $202.80 (−40%) |
| Master activation | ~$143 (to be confirmed) | $0 | Included |
| Total with a discount | ~$159 | $56.40 | $202.80 |
| Minimum days before a payout | 10 traded | 5 profitable | none |
| Consistency | 40% | 35% | 20% on the first |
| Profit needed before the first payout | $1,600 | $1,500 | $1,500 |
Two things jump out.
First: the profit you need before touching any money is almost identical on all three, between $1,500 and $1,600 on the 25K. What changes is not how hard that profit is to make, it is what you pay to reach the starting line and how many days they ask of you.
Second: the cheapest route to a payout is Momentum, at $56.40, and not by a small margin. But if you only want to test the firm without committing, the cheapest way in is still the old one at $15.95 — except the activation fee is waiting on the other side.
The activation fees on the existing accounts are marked "to be confirmed" because Bulenox told us that information will be disclosed later.
What changes on the existing accounts
Option 1 and Option 2 are still there, but they stop being a subscription. You buy them once and the evaluation is valid for 30 calendar days.
And here is the data point we cared about most: the price does not go up. Bulenox confirmed to us that "the prices and active discounts will remain the same". That means the same $145 on the Option 1 25K or $175 on the 50K, but as a single payment instead of monthly. In practice it is a price cut: what used to cost $145 for every month you kept trying is now paid once.
The catch is the expiry. You used to be able to stretch the evaluation indefinitely as long as you paid; now you have 30 calendar days.
Three more things about the existing accounts:
- 🔴 The 250K size disappears. The maximum across the firm becomes 150K.
- 🟢 Anyone who already holds an evaluation on an active subscription keeps it. The change only affects new accounts.
- 🟢 Competitor price matching stays, but only on these accounts. Fast Track and Momentum are excluded, so the really deep discounts will keep living here and not on the new products.
The three routes, side by side
| Option 1 and 2 (the existing ones) | Momentum | Fast Track | |
|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | -- | -- |
| Evaluation required | Yes | Yes | No |
| Monthly subscription | No | No | No |
| Evaluation validity | 30 days | 30 days | — |
| Minimum days to pass | 1 | 1 | — |
| Master activation | Yes | Free | Included in the price |
| Minimum days before a payout | 10 | 5 | None |
| Master consistency rule | 40% | 35% | 20% → 25% → 30% |
| Sizes | 25K to 150K | 25K to 150K | 25K to 150K |
| Price matching | Yes | No | No |
| Contract scaling | Yes (Option 2) | No | No |
Fast Track against the direct passes that already exist
Fast Track is not landing in an empty space. Tradeify and Lucid have been selling direct passes with an almost identical structure for a while, so the question is not whether it is good in the abstract but how it looks side by side. We compare the 50K account at list price, no discounts, because each firm's coupons change every few weeks and would distort the picture:
| Bulenox Fast Track | Tradeify Lightning | Lucid LucidDirect | |
|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | -- | -- |
| Price, 50K | $488 | $492 | $515 |
| Max loss | $2,250 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Daily loss limit | $1,200 | $1,250 | $1,200 |
| Contracts (minis) | 4-7 | 4 | 4 |
| First payout goal | $3,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 |
| Minimum days before a payout | None | None | 5 |
| Consistency | 20% → 25% → 30% | 20% | 20% |
| Split | 100% first $10K, then 90/10 | 90/10 | 90/10 |
| Minimum payout | $1,000 | $1,000 | $500 |
| Reset | No | No | No |
The picture is of a competitive product, not a weaker copy. Bulenox is the cheapest of the three, gives $250 more loss headroom on the 50K and is the only one with the 100% tier on the first $10,000. On the 150K the drawdown gap is wider still: $5,500 against Tradeify's $5,250 and Lucid's $5,000.
You pay for it in two places. Consistency tightens with every payout instead of staying fixed at 20%, so from the third payout onward you are freer but you have passed two harsher filters on the way. And the $1,000 minimum payout is double Lucid's, which matters if your plan is to take small amounts often.
The competitors' prices are list prices; all three have active discounts, which you can check on the discounts page.
What we still do not know
We asked Bulenox in writing and they answered almost everything. This is what is still open, and we say so instead of filling it in:
- The code for the 40% launch discount. It will be in the affiliate dashboard on Monday the 17th.
- How long the 40% lasts. They have not given an end date.
- The price of a Momentum reset. To be announced later.
- The Master activation fees on the existing accounts. They currently run from $143 to $498, but Bulenox says that information will be disclosed later, so we are not treating them as confirmed.
- Whether the safety net can be withdrawn on the two new products. It is the one we care about most and the only one they explicitly left for later.
They also told us Fast Track and Momentum launch on Rithmic only, but that there will be "further updates regarding platform availability in the near future". Likely translation: something else is in the works, though they have not said what or when.
What has not changed
If you have never looked at Bulenox, or have not in a while, this is all still the case and worth knowing before you decide:
- Platforms: Rithmic only. NinjaTrader, R Trader and sixteen others (ATAS, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, MultiCharts…) run on that same feed, but there is no Tradovate and no native TradingView. If that is your usual platform, no new product fixes it. Bulenox told us there will be platform news "in the near future", without specifics.
- Withdrawal methods: bank transfer, PayPal and Wise, unchanged on the new products. It is one of the most convenient setups for LatAm, without the friction of Plane or Rise.
- Track record: the firm has been running since 2021 and holds 4.7/5 on Trustpilot across 1,756 reviews, one of the highest scores in the sector.
- The profit split: first $10,000 at 100% and 90/10 after that, on all three products.
- The reset fee on the existing accounts stays at $78.
Who is it for?
Momentum fits anyone who already traded Bulenox and swallowed the activation fee: same firm, same Rithmic, same track record of paying without drama, minus the $143 to $498 toll when you reach the Master. And it fits anyone who wants to try the firm with little money on the table.
Fast Track fits fewer people than it looks. A direct pass saves you the evaluation, but it pays for that convenience in the payout conditions: 20% consistency, a goal bigger than the drawdown and no resets. If you are trading well, two or three cheap evaluations work out better than a $338 direct pass.
The existing accounts gain more than it looks. Paying $145 once instead of $145 a month, while keeping the discounts and the price matching, turns them into the cheap door for trying the firm out. What waits on the other side is still the activation fee.
Verdict
Momentum is the move that matters, and not because of the price: it is that Bulenox is getting rid of exactly what it was criticised for most. A $94 evaluation with the Master activated free of charge makes getting paid considerably cheaper than through the old route.
But the existing accounts are not dead, and that is a surprise. By keeping their price, their discounts and their price matching, and switching to a one-time payment, they remain the cheapest way in. The roles split: the old accounts to test the waters with little money, Momentum to actually reach a payout without tolls.
Fast Track is a different story. It is Bulenox entering the direct-pass segment with a product very close to what Tradeify or Lucid already sell, a few dollars below and with slightly more drawdown on two sizes. It is well built, but the three rules that really matter when you want to get paid (20% consistency, a goal above the drawdown and no resets) leave it behind the evaluation route.
And there is one bill everybody pays: from 11 accounts down to 5. Bulenox was the second firm in the sector for simultaneous accounts, behind only Apex. That argument has just been cut by more than half.
On August 17 we verify everything against the website, publish the final prices and update the Bulenox review and the discounts.
Frequently asked questions
When do Fast Track and Momentum launch?
On Monday, August 17, 2026, according to Bulenox's official communication to its affiliates.
What is Fast Track?
A direct pass: you pay a one-time fee of $338 to $788 depending on the size and start directly in a Master account, with no evaluation. It has no reset and no minimum days before a payout, but it starts with a 20% consistency rule.
What is Momentum?
A one-time-fee evaluation, from $94 to $358 depending on the size, with 30 calendar days to complete it and no minimum days. Once you pass, the Master account is activated free of charge, without the activation fee the existing accounts carry.
Are Option 1 and Option 2 going away?
No. They stay on sale at the same price, but they stop being billed as a monthly subscription: they become a one-time payment valid for 30 days. Bulenox also confirmed to us that they keep their active discounts and that they are the only accounts still eligible for competitor price matching. What does disappear is the 250K size.
How many accounts can I have at Bulenox?
From August 17, five active accounts at most, counting Master accounts from the existing plans, Momentum Master accounts and Fast Track accounts together. The limit used to be 11.
How much will they cost with a discount?
Both products launch with a 40% discount: Momentum from $56.40 and Fast Track from $202.80. Bulenox will publish the code on Monday the 17th; as soon as we have it, it will show up on the Bulenox discounts page. Price matching, which is where the most aggressive discounts come from, does not apply to these two products.
What happens to the account I already have?
Nothing. Bulenox confirmed to us that anyone holding an evaluation on an active subscription keeps it on the old model. The switch to a one-time payment only affects accounts bought from the 17th onward.
Can I hold Momentum, Fast Track and an existing account at the same time?
Yes, but counting them all together you cannot exceed five active accounts. That cap is new: it used to be 11.
When can I withdraw on Momentum?
You need two things at once: to reach the minimum balance ($26,500 on the 25K, $53,000 on the 50K, $104,500 on the 100K, $156,500 on the 150K) and to log five qualifying profitable days in the cycle. A day only counts if it adds at least $100 on the 25K, $150 on the 50K, $200 on the 100K or $250 on the 150K, so a +$40 session does nothing for you. Once that is done, the payout is processed the same day if you request it before 12:01 PM CT.
Does Bulenox have Tradovate or TradingView?
No, and neither do the new products. Bulenox works with Rithmic only: NinjaTrader, R Trader and sixteen other platforms on that feed. They told us there will be platform news "in the near future", but did not specify what or when.
