Option 1 versus Option 2 is the whole product
Bulenox, founded in 2022 and based in Wilmington, Delaware, sells a one-step futures evaluation with an explicit fork. Option 1 is Intraday trailing, $3,000 on $100K, no separate daily loss limit, and typically higher contract caps. Option 2 is End-of-Day trailing, still $3,000 on $100K, plus a hard Daily Loss Limit of $2,200 (2.2%). Both ask for a 6% profit target ($6,000 on $100K) and can be passed in a single trading day. The $145 $100K fee is the cheap part. Picking the wrong option is the expensive part.
Payouts on the Master funded account land every Wednesday after 10 active trading days and a 40% consistency score. The first $10,000 withdrawn is 100%, then 90%. Platforms are NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and Rithmic. You can start a free Venasri account and label two risk cards, Option 1 and Option 2, before you pay $145, because the YouTube recap that says "Bulenox is $2,200 daily" is only true for Option 2.
Intraday trail, EOD trail, and the 3:59 PM CT flatten
Option 1's Intraday trail moves with peak unrealized equity. If $100K NQ spikes +$2,200 open and pulls back to +$200, the trail has already walked up by $2,200 and you have about $1,000 of the original $3,000 left. That is the primary trap: traders pick Option 1 for the contract limit, then die on a normal Nasdaq mean-reversion that Option 2 would have ignored until the 4:59 PM CT close. Option 2's EOD trail only marks closed balance, and the $2,200 daily fence is the intraday knife instead.
All positions must be closed by 3:59 PM CT, which is earlier than Take Profit Trader's 5:00 PM ET and earlier than a 4:59 PM CT "market close" story. Semi-automated tools are permitted if they stay inside Rithmic data limits. Set Venasri Equity Guard to $1,850 daily loss on Option 2 $100K, and to a $2,400 giveback-from-peak alarm on Option 1, because Option 1 has no $2,200 daily number to lean on.
Wednesday payouts and the 40% Master consistency score
Master funded payouts require 10 active trading days and a 40% best-day consistency rule. A $4,200 Wednesday on a $9,000 open profit balance is already 46% and can delay the weekly cycle even when the $3,000 trail is untouched. Evaluation news is permitted. Master accounts restrict bracket scalping into Tier-1 releases. That split is easy to miss if you practiced news straddles in the eval and then funded the same bot.
24/7 MT5 Bot Control will not replace Rithmic, but it is the right place to store a flatten-by-15:50 CT profile and a no-bracket-into-CPI rule if you also keep an MT5 FX evaluation. Encode the same discipline on both books so a news habit that is legal on Bulenox eval does not follow you onto a Master account or onto a funded FX desk that bans the window.
Choose Option 2 unless you can sit an Intraday trail
If your NQ method regularly shows $1,500 to $2,500 of open profit before the close, Option 1 will tax that float. Option 2 is the matching contract: $2,200 daily, $3,000 EOD trail, 6% target, flatten at 15:50 CT. If you truly need Option 1's contract cap, cut size so a 40-point NQ fade is 0.4% of the book, not 1.8%. Automation is allowed on both options inside Rithmic limits. Unattended hero size is not.
Map the Wednesday 40% consistency alarm at 35% of cycle profit, the Option 2 daily flatten at $1,850, and the Option 1 peak-giveback alarm at $2,400. Those three locks are the Bulenox blueprint. The $145 ticket and the 100% first $10,000 split are what you collect after the option you clicked matches the way your open P&L actually behaves.
