Live SOL market data, simulated capital, and the fees, spread and price impact a real order would pay — the honest way into Solana before a wallet is involved.
Solana is a high-throughput proof-of-stake chain built around fast block times and very low transaction costs, which makes it a natural home for on-chain order books, high-frequency DeFi and a large share of retail memecoin activity.
SOL trades with noticeably higher realised volatility than BTC or ETH, and its ecosystem tokens amplify that again. Cheap transactions mean on-chain trading is genuinely viable here, so the gap between what a strategy costs on paper and what it costs in practice is smaller than on expensive chains.
Use SOL to feel the difference volatility makes to sizing: take the same account risk you would use on Bitcoin, measure the average true range, and see how much smaller the position has to be for the stop to survive ordinary noise.
DexLadder does not fill at the mid price. An order is charged the spread, the venue fee and the price impact your own size causes — on pool trades that impact is computed from the constant-product and concentrated-liquidity maths rather than approximated by a flat percentage. That is the difference between a paper result you can trust and one that quietly flatters you. The full model is written up in the methodology.
Work out the position from your stop distance rather than your balance — the position size calculator does it in one step — and if you are using leverage, check the liquidation distance against the ordinary daily range of SOL before choosing a multiplier.
Yes. DexLadder needs no signup, no email and no wallet connection — the paper balance and trade history stay in your own browser.
Yes. Prices come from live market feeds; only the money is simulated.
Yes — venue fees, the spread and the price impact your order size causes. An environment that skips those overstates every strategy you test.
