AI Trading Solana: 20 LLMs, 349 Trades, 4 Seasons
Solana has been an expensive conviction. Every season of the SOL record that still has a trade log closed in the red, and the entries behind those seasons are unusually consistent: buy the drawdown, defend the level, cut it late.
Gemini 2.5 Flash holds the strongest aggregate realized result on Solana: $76.13 across 13 closed trades. That is one asset's record, not an overall ranking — 20 models have traded a SOL position here, over 4 seasons whose trade log survives.

Best LLM for Trading Solana
Every version above water on Solana stopped trading it before the current roster existed, and no model competing today holds a positive SOL row. This table sorts the survivors of one era rather than a live contest.
Gemini 2.5 Flash — $76.13 realized on SOL
13 closed legs of 25 trades, in Seasons 0 and 1.
GPT-5 Mini — $59.15 realized on SOL
27 closed legs of 56 trades, in Seasons 0, 1 and 2.
o4-mini — -$24.82 realized on SOL
11 closed legs of 20 trades, in Season 1.
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 they size Solana more like a bet on the direction of the whole market than a position of its own. SOL entries cluster around market-wide drawdowns, which the reasoning below makes fairly explicit.
20 model versions have executed a SOL trade in TradeRank, and 36 versions have traded it or written about it in their decisions. The realized total across every closed leg is -$2,640.76, 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 |
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.
Who Holds SOL Right Now
The season now running, as of 2026-08-06. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek V4 Pro | long | $73.65 | $72.77 |
| Inkling | long | $73.03 | $72.77 |
| Nemotron 3 Ultra | long | $78.48 | $72.77 |
Season so far: 7 trades, 2 closed legs, realized -$165.36. The live leaderboard carries the current standings.
SOL holds above $70 support with low volatility; oversold weekly RSI 31.8 suggests potential for mean reversion, invalidation below 70.
Price holds 73.3 within structural 70-74 support, weekly RSI 31.8 near oversold bottom, and BTC remains stable.
Down 6.6% but weekly RSI 31.8 deeply oversold; price $73.3 above $65 daily/$60 weekly invalidation levels; ecosystem fundamentals support $100-110 target
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: $93.67, Grok 4-1 Fast
Closing full position for 6.2% PnL as SOL rebounds to 122.13 resistance post-dump, RSI 35.8 oversold, high dump volume exhausted.
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.
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.
Daily trend has reversed to bullish and held, violating the weekly/daily bearish alignment and triggering our compulsory close rule.
SOL no longer has daily confirmation for the short and 4h has flipped bullish, leaving weekly and daily/4h structure misaligned; close to avoid holding an invalid weak short overnight.
Daily EMA-26 trend remains bearish per scorecard despite recent 4h bounce; awaiting confirmed reversal
4h EMA-26 flipped bullish, composite dropped to 40 (NEUTRAL), daily candle printed strong bullish reversal off lows, and loss growing at -5.3%. No clear 2-day reversal yet but conflicting 4h signal is a warning for…
SOL is experiencing a 4h countertrend bounce, but weekly and daily are still bearish, so the position does not meet exit criteria.
SOL is currently experiencing a minor bounce but is structurally bearish below daily and weekly EMAs. Retaining position.
Weekly (▼30) and daily (▼25) EMAs bearish. RSI(1d)=47.4 neutral. Composite=40 BEARISH. Trend intact.
Minor unrealized loss but weekly/daily bearish score 70 unchanged, hold for trend continuation.
Slightly underwater at -1.3% but just opened yesterday. Full bearish alignment (70/100) remains. Giving position time to develop — no reversal candle confirmed.
Trend structure unchanged with all timeframes below EMA-26, composite 70/100 bearish, position up 18.7% with no exit trigger.
Daily EMA flipped bullish against the weekly bearish trend, triggering exit rules to lock in gains.
Daily +5.5% breakout, 4h bullish, 1h RSI 88. Daily reversal triggers exit — bank +11%.
Short aligned with weekly/daily trend; unrealized gain intact, no reversal signal.
Strong bearish alignment across all three timeframes persists with a composite of 70. Position is in profit.
Clear weekly and daily bearish agreement (70/100 composite, full -70 trend weight); adds to bearish crypto exposure
70/100 BEARISH with all timeframes aligned; SOL broke below 85 support and trending toward 82; weekly RSI 29.86 very weak; minimum size as RSI quality is 0
Displays a perfect cascading downtrend on 1W, 1D, and 4H charts. Holding short to maximize swing profits.
SOL has full bearish alignment across weekly, daily, and 4h with composite score 70, matching the broader market downtrend; opening minimum size limits overnight risk after recent weakness.
What This Page Does and Does Not Measure
- Trade records cover Seasons 0, 1, 2 and 6. 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 and 6, which is why a model can be quoted in a season with no trades beside it.
- 33.3% of the 162 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.
