Bulenox on ProjectX: Rules, Setup and TradingView Automation

If you’re searching for “Bulenox ProjectX” right now, the short answer is: that door closed. Bulenox stopped issuing new ProjectX accounts on January 15, 2026, and stopped resetting existing ones the same day. Six weeks later, ProjectX itself went fully exclusive to Topstep, cutting off every other firm that had licensed it, Bulenox included. If you landed here looking for a ProjectX login screen, you’ll end up on Rithmic instead, and that’s fine for automation. This post covers what changed, Bulenox’s current rules, and how to wire TradingView alerts into a Bulenox account today.

Key Takeaways
• Bulenox ended ProjectX account creation on January 15, 2026, and the platform itself went exclusive to Topstep by February 28, 2026, so any “Bulenox ProjectX” guide older than that describes a dead setup.
• Bulenox now runs on Rithmic, with NinjaTrader, R|Trader Pro, Quantower, and Sierra Chart as supported front-ends.
• Bulenox allows up to five active Master-level accounts (Master, Fast Track, and Momentum combined) under one Rithmic User ID, with Qualification accounts uncapped.
• Even before the shutdown, Bulenox’s ProjectX build had no API access, so it never supported automation anyway. Rithmic was always the real path for TradingView bots.
• Connecting TradingView to Bulenox requires a bridge tool like PickMyTrade, since Rithmic doesn’t take webhook alerts natively.

Is Bulenox Still on ProjectX in 2026?

No. Bulenox’s own help desk channel told traders plainly that new ProjectX account creation and resets both stopped on January 15, 2026 (bulenoxtraders on X). That wasn’t Bulenox’s call alone. ProjectX, the shared white-label platform technology, told its third-party partners in late November 2025 it was ending outside licensing entirely, with a hard cutoff of February 28, 2026 (Finance Magnates). Bulenox, Tradeify, Lucid, and Alpha Futures all lost their ProjectX front-ends in the same window (NexusFi discussion thread). Here’s what most recap articles skip: Bulenox’s ProjectX build never had API access, even back when it was live. The “automation gap” traders face now isn’t new. It just went from a limitation to a dealbreaker.

Citation capsule: Bulenox stopped creating and resetting ProjectX accounts on January 15, 2026, after ProjectX told all third-party prop firms it was ending outside licensing by February 28, 2026, going exclusive to Topstep. Any Bulenox setup guide referencing a ProjectX login predates this cutoff and no longer works for new or existing accounts.

Why Did Bulenox Drop ProjectX?

Bulenox didn’t build ProjectX in-house. It was shared technology licensed by several competing prop firms at once, which is why the shutdown hit so many of them together instead of just one. ProjectX cited “shifts in operational demands and upcoming compliance reporting, oversight, and audit requirements” for going exclusive to a single owner (Finance Magnates). For Bulenox, this wasn’t a huge functional loss. Bulenox is a futures prop firm founded in 2020, offering Qualification, Fast Track, and Momentum paths on accounts from $25,000 to $250,000, with traders keeping up to 90% of profits and the first $10,000 paid at 100% (bulenox.com, checked September 4, 2026). Rithmic was already the execution layer underneath. ProjectX was just the front-end, not the engine.

Citation capsule: ProjectX’s shutdown wasn’t a Bulenox-specific decision. It was shared white-label technology that ProjectX pulled from every third-party firm at once, citing new compliance and audit obligations. Bulenox’s core execution was already running on Rithmic underneath ProjectX, so the firm’s trading infrastructure didn’t actually change; only the interface traders logged into did.

What Platform Powers Bulenox Automation Now?

Rithmic, full stop. Bulenox supports it through several front-ends, including NinjaTrader 8, R|Trader Pro, Quantower, ATAS, Bookmap, and Sierra Chart. Your Rithmic username and password are separate from your Bulenox website login and are issued inside your Member’s Area, not your signup inbox. Here’s how the two platforms compare for someone automating a Bulenox account:

Citation capsule: Bulenox’s automation path today runs entirely through Rithmic, not ProjectX. Rithmic credentials are issued separately inside the Bulenox Member’s Area and plug into desktop platforms like NinjaTrader or R|Trader Pro, which is also the layer that third-party bridge tools connect to for TradingView-driven order execution.

How Do You Connect TradingView to Bulenox via PickMyTrade?

TradingView alerts can’t talk to Rithmic on their own. TradingView fires a webhook; Rithmic expects a broker-level API call. PickMyTrade sits in between and translates one into the other.

1. Confirm automation is allowed for your specific Bulenox account type first.
2. Get your Rithmic credentials (username, password, system name) from the Bulenox Member’s Area, not your website login.
3. Register with PickMyTrade, go to Broker Connections, select Rithmic, and enter those three credentials. Status reads “Connected” or “Disconnected.”
4. Generate a webhook alert in PickMyTrade’s Alert Generator, producing a JSON payload and a unique URL.
5. Paste the webhook URL and JSON into your TradingView alert setup.
6. Test on a live or funded account first. Rithmic’s API doesn’t support free demo/trial accounts.
7. Go live small, then scale contract size up.

Full details are in PickMyTrade’s Rithmic setup guide. If you also trade a firm still on native ProjectX (TopstepX, for instance) alongside Bulenox, PickMyTrade’s ProjectX trade copier guide covers copying trades between ProjectX and Tradovate accounts, a separate setup from the Rithmic path Bulenox now needs. PickMyTrade’s support queue still gets tickets from traders pasting old ProjectX webhook formats into a Rithmic connection months after the migration. The payload structure differs enough that it fails silently, so confirm you’re on the Rithmic guide, not a cached ProjectX one.

Citation capsule: Connecting TradingView to a Bulenox account requires a bridge tool because Rithmic has no native webhook support. PickMyTrade handles this by taking a Rithmic username, password, and system name from the Bulenox Member’s Area, then converting TradingView alerts into JSON payloads that route through Rithmic’s API to place, adjust, or close orders.

What Are Bulenox’s Account and Copy-Trading Rules?

Bulenox offers two permanent drawdown choices at signup: a Trailing Drawdown that follows your highest point in real time from day one, or an End-of-Day Drawdown that only moves once daily at the close, with contract sizing that scales up as your balance grows (bulenox.com/accounts-pricing, checked September 4, 2026). Bulenox allows up to five active Master-level accounts at once, mixing Master, Fast Track, and Momentum in any combination, while Qualification accounts stay uncapped. All accounts tie back to a single Rithmic User ID, and multiple separate logins per trader aren’t allowed.

On copying, Bulenox’s knowledgebase states that copy trading is permitted through trade copiers within the same Rithmic User ID and that the firm doesn’t prohibit algorithms, bots, or copier tools (Bulenox Knowledgebase, via cached search index). That page returned a 403 on direct fetch, so treat this as best-effort verified via search caching, and confirm wording with support before relying on it. What’s consistent everywhere is that you can’t hold opposing positions on the same instrument across accounts under one Rithmic ID. A consistency rule also applies at payout, commonly cited around 40% of total profits from any single day, though that figure comes from third-party trader resources rather than Bulenox’s site directly (TradingFinder) and should be confirmed against your account terms.

Citation capsule: Bulenox caps traders at five active Master-level accounts under one Rithmic User ID, allows unlimited Qualification accounts, and permits trade copiers and algorithmic tools as long as everything runs under that single ID. Hedging across accounts, holding opposing positions on the same instrument, is not permitted regardless of account count.

Is Bulenox Worth It for Automated Traders?

For someone building TradingView bots, Bulenox’s move to Rithmic-only is a net improvement over the old ProjectX front-end, since ProjectX never had API access on Bulenox anyway. The trade-off: setup now takes an extra hop, Rithmic credentials, a desktop platform like NinjaTrader, and a bridge tool, instead of one browser tab. That’s more moving parts than a native API connection, worth weighing if setup friction matters more to you than Bulenox’s specific terms. Where Bulenox holds up well is multi-account copying: five Master accounts under one Rithmic ID suits traders running one strategy across several funded accounts, and PickMyTrade’s copier can fan the same alert out to all of them with per-account multipliers.

Citation capsule: Bulenox’s shift to Rithmic-only trades a one-click ProjectX login for a multi-step Rithmic and bridge-tool setup, but it closes the automation gap that existed even under the old ProjectX system. For traders running one strategy across several funded accounts, the five-Master-account structure under a single Rithmic ID is the more relevant rule than platform nostalgia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bulenox still support ProjectX in 2026?

No. New account creation and resets stopped January 15, 2026, and ProjectX itself went exclusive to Topstep by February 28, 2026, removing it from Bulenox and every other third-party firm that had licensed it.

Where do I find my Bulenox login versus my Rithmic credentials?

Your Bulenox login (email and password) gets you into the member dashboard at bulenox.com. Your separate Rithmic username, password, and system name are issued inside that same Member’s Area, not sent to your signup email. PickMyTrade’s Bulenox login and Rithmic setup guide walks through the R|Trader Pro side step by step.

Can I copy trades across multiple Bulenox accounts?

Yes, as long as every account sits under the same Rithmic User ID and you’re not holding opposing positions on the same instrument across accounts. Bulenox allows up to five active Master-level accounts, and trade copier tools are permitted.

How do I connect TradingView alerts to a Bulenox account?

You need a bridge tool, since TradingView webhooks and Rithmic’s API don’t talk to each other directly. PickMyTrade connects using your Rithmic credentials, then converts TradingView alerts into orders on your account; see the Rithmic setup guide for the full walkthrough.

Is Bulenox a good prop firm for automated trading in 2026?

Workable, not frictionless. There’s no native API, so you’re relying on a third-party bridge either way, which was true even before the ProjectX shutdown. The upside is a real multi-account structure (five Masters per Rithmic ID) for traders copying one strategy across several accounts.

Rules and figures above reflect Bulenox’s published terms as checked September 4, 2026. Prop firm rules change without much notice, so verify current terms with Bulenox before trading live.
