Wilmington, Delaware, United StatesWhich should you choose?
By trading style
| You are… | Pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginners | Either | Bulenox: Discounted evaluations are cheap to retry, but Rithmic setup, the activation fee and the 10-day payout rules are a lot to learn. |
| Experienced traders | Either | Bulenox: Up to five Master-level accounts and 100% of the first $10,000 are attractive, if you accept the flipping review and discretionary live transition. |
| Swing traders | Either | Bulenox: Every position must be closed by 3:59 PM CT and overnight or weekend holding is banned. |
| Scalpers | Bulenox | No minimum hold time, news is open and micro contracts cost $0.61 per side, though trailing drawdowns punish give-backs. |
| EA & algo traders | Bulenox | Personal bots and copiers are allowed, but third-party API access costs $100 a month and high-frequency algos are barred. |
| News traders | Either | Bulenox: CPI, FOMC and NFP are open on every program with no blackout window. |
