6 · Quick FAQ
Is copy‑trading from my own live CQG account allowed?
➟ Yes, if latency difference > 150 ms and fills match the Rithmic audit trail.
What happens if I exceed max contracts for 1 tick?
➟ First offence = written warning, P/L from oversize trade removed.
➟ Second offence = account reset fee ($85).
Are micros (MES, MNQ, MCL) eligible?
➟ 100 % – contract counts map 10 micros = 1 mini.

Verdict

fastest path to live capital without sacrificing weekly payout cadence.
If your edge relies on
intraday index/energy scalps and you don’t need multi‑asset coverage, Bulenox’s paused trailing draw‑down and low overhead make it one of the more forgiving CME evaluators in 2025.
