Hexgo
The Hexgo NinjaTrader package is the most complete of the index systems we have looked at: four contracts rather than one, position sizing fixed in advance at 1% with stops, and setup assistance included rather than sold as an add-on. Like every competitor's, the headline price is the software only — the breakdown below shows what it comes to once the platform is included.

The most specific product on this list, and that is the point of it: one methodology, executed locally through your own NinjaTrader and broker. The trade-off is breadth. At $299/mo for ES and MES alone, a trader who wants the four index contracts covered is buying one market at six times the price of a package that covers four.
