Head to head · 33 criteria compared On the 33 criteria we compare, Bulenox comes out ahead (7 against 4). Take Profit Trader stays relevant for traders whose priorities differ from the average.
Bulenox is a futures-only firm run from Delaware since 2022. Accounts are sold as renewable monthly subscriptions, $145 to $325 for $25,000 to $150,000, payouts clear every Wednesday, and the first $10,000 goes entirely to the trader. It holds 4.7/5 across 1,761 Trustpilot reviews, but a 40% consistency rule gates withdrawals and drives recurring complaints.
Criteria won: 7 / 33
Founded in Florida in late 2021, Take Profit Trader runs a three-tier path — Test, then PRO, then PRO+ on the live market — with withdrawals available from day one on a funded account. It excludes no countries, which is rare. The point to watch is the drawdown type changing between tiers, which catches many traders out.

Choose Take Profit Trader if… Bulenox keeps 100 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 10 days, then pays Weekly (processed on Wednesdays). Take Profit Trader keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 0 days, then pays Daily, on demand from the first day. Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
Take Profit Trader covers tradingview, tradovate, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
Take Profit Trader has been running since 2021, 1 years longer than Bulenox. On Trustpilot they sit at 4.7/5 and 4.3/5 respectively. Our trust pillar scores them 77/100 and 83/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
Bulenox opens at $145 against $150 for Take Profit Trader, a moderate gap on the smallest account. At the reference size of 100 K the comparison is $215 for Bulenox against $330 for Take Profit Trader. The headline fee is rarely the real cost, though: what matters is the price of a reset after a failed attempt, whether the fee comes back on the first payout, and whether an activation fee appears when you move to a funded account. Compare those three lines in the table above before deciding on price alone.
Bulenox applies a hybrid drawdown. Take Profit Trader applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
