Still searching for a way to connect Bulenox to ProjectX? That door closed months ago. 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 relied on it.

If you’re setting up a Bulenox account today, or trying to automate TradingView alerts onto one, the old ProjectX guides won’t get you there. This article covers what actually applies now: Bulenox’s current platform, its 2026 profit targets and drawdown rules, the payout structure, and the one working path for running TradingView strategies on a Bulenox account that has no native TradingView connection.
Key Takeaways
- Bulenox stopped creating new ProjectX accounts on January 15, 2026; ProjectX itself went fully Topstep-exclusive on February 28, 2026.
- Bulenox now runs entirely on Rithmic, with no native TradingView or Tradovate support.
- Profit targets and trailing drawdown scale by account size: $750/$750 on a $10K account up to $15,000/$5,500 on a $250K account.
- Funded traders keep 100% of the first $10,000 in profit, then split 90/10, paid out weekly.
- TradingView alerts reach a Bulenox account only through a Rithmic-connected bridge like PickMyTrade.
Does Bulenox still use ProjectX in 2026?
No. Bulenox told traders directly that new ProjectX account creation and account resets both ended on January 15, 2026. ProjectX then shut out every remaining third-party firm on February 28, 2026, when the platform’s ownership handed it over exclusively to Topstep.
ProjectX had powered the trading dashboards for Bulenox, Tradeify, Lucid Trading, Alpha Futures, and a handful of other firms since around 2023. The provider pointed to new compliance, audit, and oversight requirements as the reason third-party support “was no longer sustainable,” giving affected firms only a few months’ notice before pulling access for good.
That leaves a messy trail of outdated content behind. Search “Bulenox ProjectX setup” today and you’ll still find guides, forum threads, and videos written before the cutoff. None of them work anymore. The login screen, the platform download, and the account credentials have all changed.
What we saw: Support tickets asking why a Bulenox ProjectX login had suddenly stopped working spiked through late January and February 2026, right on schedule with the shutdown. Most of those traders had no idea the underlying platform had changed hands at all.

Bulenox’s current platform: Rithmic, not ProjectX
Bulenox runs entirely on Rithmic’s infrastructure. Every account, evaluation or funded, connects through a Rithmic login that’s separate from your Bulenox member credentials, and you pick a front-end platform to sit on top of that feed.
Supported front-ends include Rithmic’s own R|Trader Pro, NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, Tiger Trade, ATAS, Sierra Chart, and MotiveWave. Gateway options span Chicago, New York, Europe, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Singapore, so traders outside the US can route through a closer data center. Tradovate isn’t on that list. Bulenox doesn’t issue Tradovate credentials, so if Tradovate is your usual platform, this isn’t the firm that will hand you those logins.
So which front-end should you actually pick? Most traders default to NinjaTrader 8 for its charting depth and indicator ecosystem, or R|Trader Pro if they’d rather stick with Rithmic’s own client and skip a third-party download.

What are Bulenox’s trading rules in 2026?
Bulenox’s core rules haven’t moved with the platform change. What follows is the current rule set across all six account sizes.
Profit targets and trailing drawdown by account size
Bulenox offers six account sizes, from $10,000 to $250,000, each carrying its own profit target and trailing drawdown. The drawdown is calculated end-of-day only, not intraday, and the calculation method is the same across both of Bulenox’s evaluation options.
The gap between the two bars widens as accounts grow. On the $10K and $25K sizes, trailing drawdown matches the profit target dollar-for-dollar. On the $100K account, the target is double the drawdown — $6,000 against $3,000 — which leaves noticeably less room for error the bigger the account gets. Larger accounts carry more buying power per contract, so a tighter drawdown caps the firm’s downside if a strategy misfires.
Daily loss limits on Option 2 accounts
Bulenox sells its accounts in two structural options. Option 1 has no daily loss limit at all. Option 2 adds a fixed daily loss limit on top of the same profit target and trailing drawdown, running from $400 on a $10K account up to $4,500 on a $250K account.
Breach the daily loss limit and trading pauses for the rest of that session. The account itself isn’t breached, but the day is done. Traders who’d rather have a hard stop on a bad session tend to prefer Option 2’s structure, even with the added cap, over Option 1’s more open-ended daily risk.
Here’s the full rule set in one table for quick reference:
| Account Size | Profit Target | Trailing Drawdown | Daily Loss Limit (Option 2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $750 | $750 | $400 |
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $1,500 | $500 |
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $2,500 | $1,100 |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $3,000 | $2,200 |
| $150,000 | $9,000 | $4,500 | $3,300 |
| $250,000 | $15,000 | $5,500 | $4,500 |
Consistency rule and minimum trading days
The Bulenox evaluation carries no consistency rule. You can hit the entire profit target in a single trade or a single session if the market cooperates, and nothing in the rules penalizes that. That changes once you’re funded: the Master account applies a 40% rule, meaning no single day’s profit can count for more than 40% of a requested payout.
Worth noting: Most prop firm write-ups lump the “consistency rule” into one blanket statement. Bulenox splits it by stage: none during evaluation, 40% only once you’re live and requesting a payout. Missing that distinction is why traders sometimes assume Bulenox is stricter, or looser, than it actually is.
A trading day only counts toward the minimum if you closed at least one trade. Logging in without executing anything doesn’t move the counter.
How does the Bulenox payout structure work?
Bulenox pays 100% of the first $10,000 in lifetime Master account profit straight to the trader, with no fee attached. Everything earned after that splits 90/10 in the trader’s favor.
Payouts require a $1,000 minimum and process weekly, every Wednesday, once a trader has logged 10 trading days on the Master account. Requests can go in any time during the month; methods include wire transfer, Wise, Deel, PayPal, and USDT.
Ten trading days doesn’t sound like a high bar, so why do funded traders still miss their first payout window? Usually because a “trading day” only counts with a closed trade behind it, and a handful of quiet, no-trade sessions can quietly push the date back a full week.
How do you automate TradingView strategies on Bulenox?
Why TradingView can’t talk to Bulenox directly
TradingView has no native execution on Bulenox, and it never did, even back on ProjectX. Rithmic doesn’t accept TradingView webhooks natively either, so an alert needs a translation layer that turns a TradingView JSON payload into an order Rithmic can actually place.
Bridging TradingView alerts to Bulenox
That translation layer is what PickMyTrade does. The flow works like this:
- Build a TradingView alert with a webhook pointing at your PickMyTrade endpoint.
- Connect PickMyTrade to your Bulenox Rithmic credentials, the same ones from the platform setup above.
- Map each TradingView ticker to the matching futures contract, including micro versus mini sizing.
- When the alert fires, PickMyTrade converts it into a Rithmic order and routes the fill straight to your Bulenox account, evaluation or funded.
PickMyTrade runs $50 a month, or $350 a year on the current annual promo (list price $500), and every plan (including the 5-day free trial) covers unlimited strategies, tickers, and accounts. One subscription automates every Bulenox account under a single login, evaluation and Master accounts alike.
This section covers the current, post-ProjectX setup. For the original walkthrough of the same bridge, see Automate Bulenox on Rithmic with PickMyTrade, or check current PickMyTrade plans for the latest pricing.
Bulenox works best for algo and multi-account traders
Bulenox explicitly markets to algo traders: EAs, NinjaScript bots, and Pine Script-driven strategies are all permitted, and copy trading across your own accounts is the main restriction. No consistency rule during evaluation makes it friendlier to strategies that might concentrate gains in one volatile session, something firms with a strict evaluation-stage consistency rule would penalize.
The trade-off is the extra setup step. No native TradingView, no Tradovate, and no ProjectX means a webhook bridge sits between your strategy and your fills. For a trader already running TradingView strategies elsewhere, that’s a one-time connection to build, not a recurring headache. For someone hoping to plug straight in without any middleware, Bulenox will feel like more work than a Tradovate-native firm.
Multi-account scalers get one more reason to look at it: Bulenox allows up to 11 active Master accounts through progressive activation, starting with an initial cap of three and unlocking more with payout history and risk approval.
Frequently asked questions
No. Bulenox stopped creating new ProjectX accounts on January 15, 2026, and ProjectX itself became fully exclusive to Topstep on February 28, 2026. Bulenox now runs on Rithmic for every account type, evaluation and funded.
No, Bulenox has no native TradingView execution. TradingView alerts reach a Bulenox account through a Rithmic-connected bridge such as PickMyTrade, which converts webhook alerts into live Rithmic orders.
No. Bulenox issues Rithmic credentials only. Traders can choose front-ends like NinjaTrader 8, R|Trader Pro, and Quantower, but Tradovate isn’t one of the supported options.
Bulenox’s evaluation stage has no consistency rule. Once funded, the Master account applies a 40% rule: no single day’s profit can count for more than 40% of a requested payout.
PickMyTrade costs $50 a month, or $350 a year on the current promo, with a 5-day free trial. Every plan includes unlimited strategies, tickers, and accounts, so one subscription automates every Bulenox account you run.
Conclusion
Bulenox’s move off ProjectX wasn’t optional, and it isn’t reversible. Rithmic is the only way in now, on evaluation and funded accounts alike. The rules that actually matter for passing and getting paid, profit targets, trailing drawdown, and the 40% payout rule, carry over largely unchanged. It’s the plumbing underneath that’s different.
If you’re setting up fresh or migrating an old ProjectX-era account, start with Bulenox’s own Rithmic credentials, pick a front-end you’re comfortable trading on, and layer TradingView automation on top through a Rithmic-compatible bridge. PickMyTrade’s 5-day free trial covers the whole connection if you want to test it before committing to a plan.
