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.

A research tool rather than a trading system. It brute-forces indicator rule combinations and hands you the survivors as NinjaTrader bots, which suits a trader who wants to do their own testing and has the time to validate the output. That is a different purchase from a system that arrives configured and ready to run — and at $149/mo it is three times the price of one.
