The return column reflects each strategy’s own position sizing (some hold only a small slice of one coin), so Sharpe, which isn’t affected by leverage, is the fair way to rank them. 3 strategies that rank coins against each other (like funding carry and momentum ranking) can't run on a single asset, so they're left out.
Start from the closest: Supertrend
Nothing cleared our bar on SOL, but Supertrend came closest (Sharpe 0.88). The library version trades a basket of coins. To run it on SOL alone, fork it and pick SOL as its only coin. Then see if you can push it further.
At $1,000, Supertrend's worst historical dip on SOL alone was about $98. Free account, your own keys. Keel only places the trades.
Solana trading bot on Hyperliquid
If you want a bot that snipes new Solana memecoins, this isn't that. These bots trade the SOL perpetual on Hyperliquid by fixed rules you can read.
Any strategy on this page can be your Solana trading bot, running on your own Hyperliquid account, but none clearly worked on SOL in our tests. Supertrend came closest. If you still want to run a Solana bot, fork it, pick SOL as its only coin, change the rules and backtest it until the result holds up.
Paper trade it first on live prices, which needs no wallet. When you go live, Keel trades from your own Hyperliquid account through an agent wallet that can place trades but can never withdraw, so your money stays in your account, and you can pause the bot or revoke its access at any time.
Solana indicators today
The Solana indicator dashboard shows today's daily RSI, MACD, moving averages, volatility and Hyperliquid funding for SOL, updated once a day. Check where SOL stands now, then test a rule on it with the strategies above.
What this is: a single-asset backtest of 12 systematic strategies on SOL, on real Hyperliquid data, net of fees, slippage and funding. A high Sharpe on a low trade count is a small sample, not a promise. Where nothing clears the bar, we say so. Past performance does not predict future results, and this is not investment advice.
