Qualification must reach Master first
Qualification is not a payout account. After the trader reaches the Qualification target and meets the rules, Bulenox reviews the account. Approval is followed by the Master Account Agreement, documents and activation instructions. Withdrawal rules begin on the activated traditional Master Account.

Master payout eligibility checklist
Use the traditional Master payout readiness calculator to check the reserve, minimum request, trading days and consistency together.
- Complete at least 10 individual trading days.
- Request at least $1,000.
- Leave the required Safety Threshold Reserve above the starting balance.
- Keep the best profitable day at or below 40% of Total P&L.
- Submit the required payout, identification and tax documents.
For each later payout, another 10 trading days must be completed after the previous payout period has been completed.
Safety Threshold Reserve by account size
The balance before a request must cover the starting balance, Safety Threshold Reserve and requested payout. After payout, the reserve must remain above the starting balance.
| Account | Safety Threshold Reserve | Balance for $1,000 request | Balance for maximum payout 1 to 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,600 | $27,600 | $27,600 |
| $50K | $2,600 | $53,600 | $54,100 |
| $100K | $3,100 | $104,100 | $104,850 |
| $150K | $4,600 | $155,600 | $156,600 |
Subject to the Master Account Agreement, Bulenox states that the Safety Threshold Reserve may be requested when the agreement is terminated.
The 40% Master consistency rule
The result must be 40% or less. For the first payout, Bulenox states that the Safety Threshold Reserve is included in the consistency calculation.
Best Day P&L and Total P&L reset after an approved Master payout. Use only the applicable payout cycle, not lifetime Master results. The first cycle starts with the first Master trading day; its consistency calculation includes the Safety Threshold Reserve.
Not yet within 40%
A $2,500 best day divided by $5,000 Total P&L equals 50%. The account is not closed, but the payout consistency requirement is not ready.
50% is too highWithin 40%
If Total P&L later reaches $7,500 while the best day remains $2,500, the share becomes 33.33% and passes the consistency check.
33.33% passesMinimum and maximum Master payouts
| Account | Minimum request | Maximum payouts 1 to 3 | Payout 4 and later |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $1,000 | No published maximum cap |
| $50K | $1,000 | $1,500 | No published maximum cap |
| $100K | $1,000 | $1,750 | No published maximum cap |
| $150K | $1,000 | $2,000 | No published maximum cap |
After the third payout, Bulenox publishes no maximum payout cap. The minimum request, 10 trading days, reserve and 40% consistency requirements continue to apply.
Processing schedule and profit share
Payouts are processed on Wednesdays. Submit by 11:59 PM CT Friday for the following Wednesday processing cycle.
Weekends, public holidays and the days between the payout request and Wednesday processing do not count toward the next 10-trading-day period. The new period begins after the previous payout has been completed.
The published Master profit split is 90% to the trader and 10% to Bulenox, applied when the payout is transferred. The current help section does not publish a first-$10,000 exception.
Master payout examples
$50K minimum payout
A $1,000 request needs at least $53,600 before payout. The request leaves $52,600, which preserves the $2,600 reserve above the $50,000 starting balance.
Reserve math passes$50K maximum first payout
The $1,500 cap requires at least $54,100 before payout to leave the same $52,600 reserve. Ten trading days, 40% consistency and documents still apply.
Cap and reserve identified$25K first payout
The cap and minimum are both $1,000. The balance needs to reach at least $27,600 so $26,600 remains after payout, preserving the $1,600 reserve.
Required balance is $27,600$100K fourth payout
There is no published maximum cap, but a $5,000 request still needs at least $108,100 before payout to leave the $3,100 reserve, plus 10 days and 40% consistency.

Frequently asked questions
How many trading days are required for a Bulenox Master payout?
The traditional Master Account requires at least 10 individual trading days for each payout period. A later period begins after the previous payout has been completed.
What is the $50K Master Safety Threshold Reserve?
The $50K Safety Threshold Reserve is $2,600. To request the $1,000 minimum, the balance must be at least $53,600 so $52,600 remains after payout.
Does Master consistency reset after a payout?
Yes. After an approved Master payout, Best Day P&L and Total P&L reset. The 40% test uses results from the applicable new payout cycle. The next 10-trading-day period begins after the previous payout has completed.
Payout eligibility is multi-part. Meeting one balance, day-count, consistency or cap rule does not override the others. Confirm the current rule text in the Bulenox dashboard and account agreement before requesting a payout.
