Solana Trader

Solana Trader Skill

This skill provides autonomous trading capabilities on the Solana blockchain using Jupiter for swaps and multiple data sources for opportunity scanning.

Quick Start

1. Create & Fund Wallet

Use the solana_wallet tool with action="create" to generate a new wallet.
Fund it with SOL at the provided address (minimum 0.1 SOL recommended).

2. Check Balance

Use solana_wallet with action="balance" to see SOL and token holdings.

3. Start Trading

Use solana_scan to find opportunities, then solana_swap to execute trades.

Available Tools

solana_wallet

Parameters: action (create | balance | address)

• create: Generates a new Solana keypair and saves it
• balance: Returns SOL balance and all token holdings
• address: Returns the wallet's public key

Example:

{
  "action": "balance"
}

solana_swap

Parameters: inputToken, outputToken, amountUsd

Executes a token swap via Jupiter aggregator.

Supported tokens: SOL, USDC, USDT, RAY, SRM, or any valid mint address

Example:

{
  "inputToken": "USDC",
  "outputToken": "SOL", 
  "amountUsd": 10
}

solana_scan

Parameters: chain (optional), maxResults (optional, default 5)

Scans multiple sources for trading opportunities:

• DexScreener boosted tokens (paid promotion = attention)
• GeckoTerminal trending pools (momentum)
• GeckoTerminal new pools (early discovery)

Returns scored opportunities with momentum, liquidity, and volume metrics.

Example:

{
  "chain": "solana",
  "maxResults": 10
}

Automated Trading

Running the Monitor

The trading monitor (scripts/monitor.js) can run autonomously via cron:

# Every 15 minutes during market hours
*/15 6-23 * * * cd ~/.openclaw/workspace && node skills/solana-trader/scripts/monitor.js

Configuration (Environment Variables)

export SOLANA_RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
export SOLANA_WALLET_PATH="~/.openclaw/workspace/solana-wallet.json"
export POSITION_SIZE_USD=10          # Max $ per trade
export MAX_POSITIONS=4               # Max concurrent positions
export MIN_SCORE=25                  # Minimum opportunity score
export TAKE_PROFIT_PCT=50            # Take profit at 50% gain
export STOP_LOSS_PCT=-25             # Stop loss at -25%
export TRAILING_STOP_PCT=15          # Trailing stop from peak

Trading Strategy

Entry Criteria

The system scores opportunities based on:

1. Early Stage Bonus (30 pts max)

   • Micro cap FDV < $500k: +30 pts
   • Small cap FDV < $2M: +20 pts
   • Mid cap FDV < $10M: +10 pts

2. Momentum (45 pts max)

   • Steady 5m rise (0-15%): +3 pts per %
   • Hourly momentum (0-30%): +2 pts per %
   • Acceleration bonus: +15 pts

3. Volume/Liquidity Ratio (35 pts max)

   • High ratio (>2): +20 pts
   • Very high ratio (>5): +15 pts additional

4. Buy Pressure (25 pts max)

   • Buy/sell ratio >1.3: +15 pts
   • Buy/sell ratio >2.0: +10 pts additional

Entry Penalties

• Already pumped (5m >30%): -25 pts
• Dumping (1h <-15%): -20 pts
• Dead token (24h <-40%): -20 pts
• Low liquidity (<$15k): -10 pts
• Sell pressure (buy/sell <0.5): -15 pts

Exit Logic

1. Take Profit: +50% gain
2. Trailing Stop: If up >30%, exit if drops 15% from peak
3. Stop Loss: -25% loss
4. Momentum Death: 5m <-8% AND 1h <-15%

Risk Management

• Maximum 4 concurrent positions
• $3-10 position sizes (25% of available USDC)
• Always keep $5+ liquid for gas/exits
• Never risk more than you can afford to lose

Data Sources

DexScreener

• Boosted tokens (paid promotion = attention)
• Rich metadata (price, volume, liquidity, txns)
• Rate limit: ~5 calls/second

GeckoTerminal

• Trending pools (momentum plays)
• New pools (early opportunities)
• Rate limit: ~2 calls/second

Jupiter

• Best execution routing
• Ultra-light API for fast swaps
• Handles slippage automatically

Files & State

State Management

• trades.json - Trade history log
• state.json - Portfolio state, positions, balances
• solana-wallet.json - Encrypted wallet keypair

Monitoring

• monitor.js - Main trading loop
• scan.js - Standalone opportunity scanner
• Strategy stats tracking (win/loss ratios, PnL by strategy)

Safety Notes

• Start small ($5-20 positions) to test the system
• Monitor for 24-48h before increasing size
• Never commit more than you can afford to lose
• Keep some SOL for transaction fees
• Regularly backup your wallet file

The Solana trading ecosystem is fast-moving and high-risk. This system is designed for momentum plays on trending tokens, not long-term holding.

Advanced Features

SOL Swing Trading

• Auto-buy SOL on >-7% daily drops
• Auto-sell SOL on >+6% daily pumps
• Maintains 0.2+ SOL base position

Portfolio Balancing

• Automatically rebalances between SOL and USDC
• Maintains minimum liquidity for new opportunities
• Tracks total portfolio value vs starting point

Use responsibly and understand that token trading involves significant risk of loss.
