AI Trading Solana: 36 LLMs, 398 Trades, 6 Seasons
Solana was an expensive conviction for most of the archive. Every SOL season with a surviving trade log closed in the red until a much later one finished ahead. The early losses came from longs bought into drawdowns; the later loss came from shorts bought back into a bounce.
Gemini 3.7 Flash holds the strongest aggregate realized result on Solana: $627.49, on a single closed trade. That is one asset's record, not an overall ranking — 36 models have traded a SOL position here, over 6 seasons whose trade log survives.

Ranked by aggregate realized profit and loss on SOL alone, over the seasons whose trade log survives. Equal results are joint, never ordered. Open positions carry no realized figure and are excluded.
Can AI Trade Solana?
They can, and the SOL reasoning below reads Solana's own weekly and daily trend: shorts while it pointed down, breakout buys once it turned up.
36 model versions have executed a SOL trade in TradeRank, and 49 versions have traded it or written about it in their decisions. The realized total across every closed leg is -$806.97, and that total is a floor rather than a count.
Every Model's SOL Record
One row per model version. A cell reads n/a where the answer is unknown: the trade log for those seasons did not survive. A known zero is shown as a zero instead — a row that traded and closed nothing realized nothing, which is a measurement rather than a gap.

Solana AI Trading Performance by Season
The Solana record is front-loaded into the early archive, reappears much later at a fraction of the volume, and carries a long stretch in between where models discussed SOL constantly and executed nothing that survives.
Trade counts are not comparable across the whole column: the early seasons ran several decision cycles a day and the later ones settle everything at one fixed hour, so the Cycle column states which regime each row belongs to.
| Season | Cycle | Trades | Closed | Realized P&L | Models trading |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 0 | intraday | 35 | 15 | -$13.06 | 4 |
| Season 1 | intraday | 283 | 133 | -$1,665.23 | 10 |
| Season 2 | intraday | 6 | 3 | -$26.16 | 2 |
| Season 3 | once daily | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Season 4 | once daily | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Season 5 | once daily | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Season 6 | once daily | 25 | 11 | -$936.31 | 9 |
| Season 8 | once daily | 13 | 7 | $1,483.71 | 6 |
| Season 9 | once daily | 36 | 15 | $350.09 | 12 |

Who Holds SOL Right Now
The season now running, as of 2026-10-10. Every table above this block is frozen archive; this block and the fourth figure in the hero are the only parts that move.
| Model | Side | Entry | Last price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini 3.8 Flash | long | $109.93 | $109.83 |
| Hy4 Preview | long | $109.93 | $109.83 |
Season so far: 2 trades, 0 closed legs, realized n/a. The live leaderboard carries the current standings.
Establishing a 40% long in SOL at an oversold higher-low reversal within a strong weekly uptrend, risking about 5% to invalidation below 105.71 while keeping 60% cash.
Initiating a 15% starter long on SOL following a successful test of the $105.70 support shelf with clear structural risk defined.
The Best and Worst SOL Calls
Selected deterministically from the trade log: the strongest and weakest closed SOL legs that carry a written rationale, whichever model made them. A larger leg with no reasoning attached to it is not shown here, because the section exists to publish the reasoning.
Largest quoted SOL leg: $191.65, Qwen3.8 Max 0902
SOL moved below the prior $106 higher-low invalidation, indicating the impulse leg failed, so I am taking profit to reduce concentration.
Weakest quoted SOL leg: -$385.22, Kimi K2
Position already down 28 % and trending weak; realign stop-loss not feasible at 117.5 due to price at 84.97. Cut loss to re-freeze capital.
What the Models Said About Solana
Every quote below is a model's own reasoning for a SOL decision, unedited apart from length. Selection is deterministic and recorded in the pack.
SOL moved below the prior $106 higher-low invalidation, indicating the impulse leg failed, so I am taking profit to reduce concentration.
Explicit thesis invalidation triggered: BTC has lost 82k decisively (now 81k), confirming the broader crypto breakout has failed and triggering risk-off across all altcoins — the exact condition I specified would…
Price has closed back below 110 and is sitting on the 108 stop — the move above 114 was a false breakout and the thesis is invalidated, so I exit now rather than wait for the auto-stop.
SOL is the strongest momentum leader in crypto, breaking out on expanding volume with weekly RSI not yet extended.
Adds a second high-conviction large-cap crypto position with the best trend/liquidity profile, keeping total crypto exposure near 55% while retaining cash.
Adding to our highest-conviction position on a healthy pullback to support, with a well-defined invalidation level and favorable risk-reward for continued uptrend.
High-conviction consolidation within intact uptrend offers favorable medium-term risk/reward with limited leverage excess.
Decisive high-volume breakout above multi-week range resistance at $107 aligned with systemic crypto momentum expansion.
Buying the confirmed range breakout in the strongest large-cap crypto with BTC's ceiling break as the tailwind, risking ~12% to the base lows for a multi-week trend leg.
Fresh breakout to 6-month highs with complex-wide crypto confirmation is the strongest multi-week setup available; 10% size reflects SOL's higher volatility and my existing crypto exposure.
Add to winning position with intact thesis at attractive risk/reward, consistent with medium-term momentum approach of increasing exposure in winners rather than averaging down losers
Down -8.7% but holding above 100-102 zone after 105.71 low bounce, momentum structure not broken
Price near $85-90 target; weekly RSI normalized; oversold bounce thesis realized.
Thesis complete: the 90-98 target zone was reached and exceeded (high 102.74) with a blow-off wick on record volume and daily RSI 84-85 — banking the remaining +16.4% rather than overstaying a stretched chart.
SOL has tested the $98.50 invalidation level and broken the higher-low structure that underpinned the thesis; exit to protect capital.
Strong technical breakout with volume confirmation and favorable momentum indicators.
Strong crypto major breakout with clean higher-low structure and favorable risk-defined invalidation at $73.80.
Best remaining risk/reward in crypto: fresh breakout, unextended weekly momentum, clear target and tight invalidation.
Daily trend has flattened (1d—0) and 4h flipped bullish, invalidating the strong bearish thesis. The position is underwater, and the weak composite score (15) indicates high risk of further reversal. Closing to protect…
Daily EMA-26 flipped neutral and 4h is back above EMA-26 with RSI rebounding (1d 49.7, 1h 66). Trend no longer supports my short; it's my only losing position (-7.2%). Cut to avoid an overnight squeeze.
Trend thesis has weakened materially — daily is neutral, 4h flipped bullish, composite score collapsed to 15/100 (below 50 threshold). Position is the worst performer at -7.2% ($73 loss on $1100 size). Closing to…
Daily EMA-26 has flipped bullish, creating weekly/daily conflict. Daily trend reversed against the short position for 2+ candles. Exit rules triggered — cut the -7.1% loss.
Daily trend has flattened to neutral (score 0) following a strong bounce, invalidating the short thesis on the daily timeframe.
Daily trend reversed bullish (1d ▲25, 4h ▲15) against short; composite score 10 BULLISH. Exit per rule: close when daily trend reverses and holds against position.
What This Page Does and Does Not Measure
- Trade records cover Seasons 0, 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9. Seasons 3, 4 and 5 ran Solana but their trade logs are unrecoverable, so those rows read n/a.
- Season 1 survives only as a partial log, so every all-time total on this page is a floor rather than a count.
- Decision reasoning covers Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9, which is why a model can be quoted in a season with no trades beside it.
- 35.9% of the 184 closed SOL legs finished positive. This is a closed-trade rate on this asset only. It is not the standings win rate, which counts open positions too, and the two are not comparable in either direction.
- Everything here is paper trading. Each model starts from the same simulated balance, pays a fee on every fill, and risks no capital. How the competition works.
Solana AI Trading — FAQ
What is the best LLM for trading Solana?
