Earn2Trade and Bulenox sit at the lower end of our rankings for different reasons. Earn2Trade publishes its 50K rules in detail, but its hard daily loss limit and 50% split on smaller withdrawals weigh on its score. Bulenox has a low one-time price and flexible drawdown options, but the official pages we could read did not publish its profit split or payout rules. This comparison uses each firm's official site and help center as checked on November 3, 2026.
Quick verdict
- Choose Earn2Trade if you want every payout rule in writing before you start, weekly withdrawals with no buffer, unrestricted news trading and named platforms such as NinjaTrader or Tradovate.
- Choose Bulenox if you want a one-time fee with no subscription, the option of no daily loss limit (Option 1) or an end-of-day drawdown (Option 2), and you are prepared to confirm payout terms directly with Bulenox.

Cost
Earn2Trade's Gauntlet Mini 50K starts at $170 a month. A one-time $139 LiveSim activation fee is deducted from your first withdrawal, not charged up front. Its homepage advertises a 50% discount code, and the smaller Trader Career Path starts at $150 a month for 25K. Earn2Trade did not publish prices for its 100K to 200K Gauntlet Mini sizes on the pages we checked.
Bulenox's 50K Qualification account costs $175 once, with 30 days of access, and its 25K costs $145. Non-professional data is free. A second attempt means a new purchase. Bulenox did not publish a Master account activation fee on the pages we checked. If you pass within a month, the two firms cost about the same at 50K. If you need longer, Earn2Trade's monthly charge and Bulenox's 30-day window both mean paying again.
Rules
Drawdown
Earn2Trade uses a $2,000 end-of-day drawdown on 50K in evaluation and LiveSim, switching to trailing on a Live account. Bulenox lets you pick at purchase: Option 1 is a real-time trailing drawdown that follows open profit, and Option 2 is end-of-day. The Bulenox 50K Qualification drawdown is up to $2,500.
Daily loss limit
This is a major difference. Earn2Trade's $1,100 limit on 50K is a hard rule in evaluation. It counts open and closed P&L plus commissions, and touching it fails the attempt. Bulenox Option 1 has no daily limit. Option 2 has one that pauses trading for the day rather than failing the account, though the Qualification amounts were not published. Our daily loss calculator helps you work out how much room a given limit leaves.
Consistency and minimum days
Earn2Trade uses a 30% consistency rule in evaluation only, and has no minimum days. Breaking the rule does not fail you, but you keep trading until it is met. Bulenox has no minimum days. Its consistency rule for funded payouts was not readable on the pages we checked.
Trading hours and news
Earn2Trade requires positions closed by 3:50 p.m. CT in evaluation and allows news trading with no restrictions. Bulenox's Fast Track page says positions must be closed before 15:59 CT. Its news and weekend answers were not readable on the pages we checked.
Payouts
Earn2Trade processes withdrawals weekly on Wednesdays after five new profitable days ($150 each on 50K), with a $100 minimum and no buffer. The split depends on each withdrawal's size: on 50K, under $2,250 is split 50/50 and $2,250 or more is split 80/20. Each Gauntlet Mini LiveSim account moves to Live after $5,000 of cumulative withdrawals. Provider fees apply, such as Rise's $50 charge outside the US.
For Bulenox, we could not verify the split, payout frequency, minimum, cap or buffer. The help center shows these headings, but the text did not load on the official pages we accessed. Ask Bulenox to confirm them in writing before buying.
Platforms
Earn2Trade lists Tradovate, NinjaTrader, BlackArrow, TradingView, Finamark and DeepCharts, with Rithmic and dxFeed connections. Bulenox runs on Rithmic and advertises "20+ platforms" without naming them.

Bulenox
Bulenox suits cost-conscious traders who want a one-time price and like choosing their drawdown model, and who will verify payout terms before committing. It scores 6.4 out of 10, held back by the missing payout information.
