Bulenox vs Earn2Trade: prop firm rules compared

Bulenox's Option 1 plan trails the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at Bulenox's Option 1 plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start.

On Bulenox's Option 2 plan and Earn2Trade the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Bulenox's Option 2 plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start; at Earn2Trade a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Earn2Trade the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. Bulenox's Option 2 plan sets it at $1,100 on $50,000. A hard daily loss limit ends the evaluation: one day that loses that much fails the account. Earn2Trade sets it at $1,100 on $50,000. Bulenox's Option 1 plan has no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

Bulenox and Earn2Trade start the trading day at the same moment, 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Earn2Trade caps any single day at 30% of total profit, so it takes at least 4 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $900 of a $3,000 target. Bulenox applies no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

Bulenox and Earn2Trade set no minimum number of days.

Bulenox and Earn2Trade differ on 4 of the evaluation rules compared here: drawdown model, daily loss limit, consistency rule and max drawdown at $50K. If your trades often run into open profit that you give back before closing them, start with the drawdown: Bulenox trails intraday or at end of day, depending on the plan, while Earn2Trade trails at end of day. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: Bulenox has no consistency rule; Earn2Trade caps one day at 30% of total profit. If you keep trading after a losing morning, look at what the daily loss limit does: Bulenox pauses the day at its daily loss limit on some plans and has no limit on others; Earn2Trade fails the account at its daily loss limit. In dollars at $50K, Bulenox asks for $3,000 of profit with $2,500 of drawdown room, Earn2Trade for $3,000 with $2,000.

Once funded, the profit split is 100% of the first $10K, then 90/10 at Bulenox and 50% / 80% tiered by withdrawal size at Earn2Trade. Bulenox sells 2 plans: Option 1 and Option 2; Earn2Trade sells 2 plans: Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan.
