10 SOL or 100 SOL, then normalize to $1
Brokers disagree on SOL lots. Normalize risk in dollars: lots = 1000 / (stop dollars × dollars_per_1.00_move_per_lot). The 22.22 lot figure assumes $1 per $1.00 at a $4.50 stop. If 1.00 lot is 10 SOL and SOL is $150, a $1 move may be $10, and 2.22 lots is 1%, not 22. Read MT5 tick value on this symbol every time you switch brokers.
Spread 1.5 to 3.5 ticks. ATR $8 to $18. Handles 150, 160, 175 ($5 / $10). US cash and crypto overlap 13:00 to 21:00 UTC is the liquid window. Weekend altcoin books are where 1.5× beta becomes 3× in a squeeze.
Funding squeezes and 1.5× BTC beta
High-leverage perp funding can squeeze SOL when BTC is merely grinding. Weekend alt squeezes ignore your H1 EMA50. BTC dump plus SOL 1.5× beta is the weekday risk-off. Both require a $3.50 to $6.00 intraday stop, not a $1.50 scalp copied from a quiet ETH hour.
connect your MT5 account to Venasri and treat SOL as optional high-beta, not as a third default coin. If BTC and ETH are open, SOL is closed.
22.22 normalized lots at $4.50, or far fewer on a 10 SOL lot
On $1 per $1: 22.22 lots at $4.50 for 1%, 11.11 at 0.50%. Scalp $1.50 to $2.50, intraday $3.50 to $6.00, swing $9.00 to $16.00. The Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard must be fed this broker's tick, not ETH's.
Partial profit at 1.5R and 3.0R is how SOL trends pay without giving back a funding squeeze. A runner without TP1 on 22 normalized lots is how $18 ATR days become 5% days.
Trade US-hour EMA pullbacks, lock TP1, skip weekend squeezes
Confirm tick value, unused BTC/ETH budget, weekend rule, and EMA trend on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. SOLUSD is optional 1.5× beta. It is not a 22-lot habit without a spec check.
