A NinjaTrader 8 add-on that trades the CME index futures for you. The quoted price is the whole price, which is rare enough in this market to be the headline — and the results page shows more than it has to.

The verdict
Hexgo does the checkable things well. The price on the page is the price you pay — no platform lease, no server to rent — the platform requirement is stated up front rather than discovered at checkout, position sizing is conservative by default, and the results page publishes maximum drawdown beside the profit instead of leading with a return.
It is also built for a specific person: someone already on NinjaTrader 8 who wants the index complex traded without sitting at a screen. For that reader the fit is close, the setup is short, and the month-one bill holds no surprises. The marks below are marks for how the product is built and sold, which is what a review can actually check.
Every row names the page it was read off and the day it was checked. Nothing here is a performance figure, and none of these are links — a citation is a record of where we looked, not somewhere we are trying to send you.

The listed price is $49/mo, against a $97 list. Commit further and it falls: $87 for 3 months · $233 for a year, which works out at roughly $29 and $19.42 a month. That much is ordinary — every subscription in this category discounts the annual.
The unusual part is what is not on the bill. Most NinjaTrader-based systems quote a subscription and then need two more things before a single order goes out: a platform licence, because the free NinjaTrader tier does not run automated strategies, and a VPS, because your strategy has to sit on a machine that never sleeps. Together those routinely double the quoted figure. Hexgo runs on the free licence tier and executes on the vendor’s own servers, so the all-in monthly is $49/mo — no platform lease, no VPS.
The one line that is extra is broker commissions, charged per contract like they are for any futures system, and they belong to your broker rather than to Hexgo. We have not put a figure on them because it depends entirely on your broker and your contract mix, and a made-up average would be worse than nothing.
Three things, and the first is a hard gate: NinjaTrader 8 only. No equities, no crypto, no forex, nothing for TradingView. It is stated plainly on the sales page rather than left to be discovered at checkout, and it is the one thing to confirm before anything else.
Second, a futures broker account. Third, $500 as the vendor’s recommended starting capital. Worth being precise about that last one: it is capital, not a fee. It stays in your account and it is yours, and you can withdraw it. The practical version of all three is in what to know before you buy.
What makes that figure reachable at all is the market list: NQ, ES, YM, RTY — full-size and micro. Micro contracts are a fraction of the notional size of the full-size ones, so the same strategy runs at a size a small account can survive. Without the micros, the recommended starting capital would be a fiction.
This is where the product does better than its market, and it is worth being exact about what “better” means. Per strategy, the vendor publishes:

Maximum drawdown and largest loss sitting in that list, beside the profit, is the part that matters. A return published without the drawdown that produced it is not a track record, it is an advertisement — and it is the norm here. Backtested records also carry a visible Backtest badge, so a simulated run cannot be mistaken for executed orders, and the page itself states that past performance does not guarantee future results.
The page sits behind a sign-in, so you read it per strategy from inside your account — checked signed-out on 21 August 2026. We publish no figure from it here; the values are the vendor’s to show you directly, and reading them per strategy is more useful than any summary of them would be. What the results page shows, in full.
Four things this product does that its market mostly does not, each one checkable against the sources at the bottom of this page.

These are Hexgo customers writing about Hexgo, collected by the vendor. They are most useful for what they describe best: the install, the broker connection, the support response, and how the first week actually went. Individual reviews are published in full rather than reduced to an average.
trading the dow jones (ym) manually is usually a nightmare because of the random spikes, but this bot navigates it perfectly. it waits for the initial opening bell chaos to settle down before finding a clean, highly probable entry point. it is a remarkably disciplined piece of software.

totally legit product with a stellar team behind it. I had a minor technical issue with my NinjaTrader connection and their support resolved it for me in less than five minutes.

zero hidden fees and zero locked contracts. I love that I can just use it when I want and withdraw my money directly from my own bank whenever I feel like it.

It is a real, purchasable product with published pricing, a named platform requirement, a stated recommended starting capital and a 7-day money-back guarantee, all readable on the vendor's own page and all cited here with the date they were checked. The vendor also publishes a per-strategy trade history with maximum drawdown shown beside the profit, and labels backtested records as backtests rather than as executed orders. Those establish that the product exists, that its terms are public, and that the record is disclosed properly. None of them establishes that it will be profitable for you, and nothing on this site claims otherwise.
$49 a month against a $97 list price, or $87 for three months and $233 for a year. The figure that matters is the all-in monthly cost, and here they are the same $49: it runs on NinjaTrader's free licence tier so there is no platform lease, and execution happens on the vendor's servers so there is no VPS to rent. Broker commissions are charged per contract on top, as with any NinjaTrader system.
NinjaTrader 8, a futures broker account, and roughly $500 of trading capital as the vendor's recommended starting point. The $500 is capital rather than a fee — it stays in your account. Strategies execute on dedicated servers rather than your own desktop, so no machine has to be left running.
On the checkable things it does well: the price is the whole price, the platform requirement is stated up front, the position sizing is conservative, and the track record page publishes drawdown beside profit instead of a headline return. What none of that establishes is your outcome — a track record is evidence about what has happened, not about what happens next, and the vendor's own results page says the same. It also only reaches one kind of buyer: someone on NinjaTrader 8 who wants index futures automated. If that is not you, none of it applies.
Yes, per strategy, and with more than the usual: total trades, net profit, profit factor, win rate, maximum drawdown, average win, average loss, largest loss, an equity curve, and month-by-month and year-by-year breakdowns. Backtested records carry a visible Backtest badge so they cannot be read as executed orders. The page requires a Hexgo account, so you read it signed in, per strategy. This site quotes no figure from it — the values are the vendor's to show you directly.

Cost
The quoted price is $49. The useful question is what the bill looks like once the platform, the data feed and the server are added — and for this product the answer is unusual.
