Direct Technical Answer

SOLUSD on a $100,000 prop account uses broker-specific 10 or 100 SOL lots, normalized here at $1 per $1.00 with 1.5 to 3.5 tick spreads and an $8 to $18 daily ATR. Lots = 1000 / (stop dollars × tick) = 22.22 normalized lots at a $4.50 stop, or 11.11 at 0.50% risk.

Solana is the optional coin on a funded book, not the core. Crypto props that already cap BTC will not be kinder to a 1.5× alt. Weekend funding squeezes plus a copied 20-lot ETH size is the standard SOL fail. Use it when BTC and ETH are flat, US hours only, TP1 locked, tick value confirmed. Skip it when you already have coin beta on the account.

Optional high-beta versus a 5% box

11.11 normalized $1 lots lose $11.11 per $1. A $4.50 stop is $500. An $12 weekend squeeze fill is $1,333. 22.22 lots would be $2,666. Default 11.11 only as the single crypto ticket. If BTC is open, SOL is 0.00.

connect your MT5 account to Venasri and make SOL a checklist item that fails when BTC or ETH is live. Equity Guard at 3.0%. Coin caps in the firm rules override 22 lots.

US hours only, weekend squeeze ban, TP1 mandatory

13:00 to 21:00 UTC EMA pullbacks are the job. Weekend squeezes are not a "hold for Monday" event on an alt. If the firm allows weekend crypto, SOL is still the last coin you would hold. Flatten.

Lock 50% at 1.5R in Manual Trade Guard so a squeeze after a good H1 trend cannot donate the day. This matters more on SOL than on EURUSD because 1.5× beta retraces are violent.

Tick value first, then a single coin budget

Read MT5 tick. Feed it to the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard. BTC+ETH+SOL combined 0.50%, which in practice means SOL is XOR with the majors, not AND.

Intraday $3.50 to $6.00 at 11.11 normalized. Swing $9 to $16 at 4 units. Scalp $1.50 to $2.50 only with spread under 2.5 in US hours. If tick is $10, divide those lot counts by 10.

SOLUSD checklist: tick, no BTC/ETH, US hours, TP1, weekend flat

Require tick confirmed, BTC and ETH flat, 13:00 to 21:00 UTC, weekend rule = flat, $4.50-class stop, EMA trend, TP1 enabled, $5 handle mapped.

Keep it on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. Manual Trade Guard attaches $4.50 and the 1.5R partial. SOL is a specialist alt on a prop book. Treat it as permissioned, not default.

Frequently Asked Questions: SOLUSD Trading Strategy and Contract Guide: Institutional Zones, Lot Sizing & MT5 Automation

What SOLUSD size should a $100,000 challenge use?

First read tick value. On a $1 tick, 11.11 lots at $4.50 (0.50%) only if BTC and ETH are closed. On a $10 tick, 1.11 lots. Weekend size is zero. 22.22 lots is a 1% ceiling for a clean US-hour trend with no other coin open.

Why should SOL be off when BTC is on?

1.5× beta means SOL dumps harder on the same BTC candle. Two 0.50% tickets are 0.50% plus 0.75% in drawdown terms when correlation shows up. XOR, not stack.

Are funding squeezes "news" for prop news bans?

They are liquidity events, often off the FX calendar. Treat them as news: no new SOL lots into a known squeeze hour, flatten weekends. A squeeze is not an EMA pullback.

My lots look tiny after I put in the real tick. Is that wrong?

No. Tiny lots on a 100 SOL contract are how $4.50 stops stay at $500. If the size "looks too small," the tick was probably $10 or $100 and your old 22-lot habit was the bug.
