Risk isn’t static. So why is your margin engine?

Most DeFi trading platforms calculate margin like a single snapshot.

You open a position.

They lock your collateral.

Then… they wait.

Market moves?

Portfolio shifts?

Volatility spikes?

Your margin doesn’t move — until it’s already too late.

In most systems, margin is reactive. In real trading, it needs to be proactive.

Static Margin Logic Was Never Built for Live Risk

The idea that you can pre-calculate margin for a dynamic market is fundamentally broken.

Here’s how that plays out:

• Margin never adjusts for correlated positions
• Spreads aren’t offset in real time
• Volatility creates liquidation spirals
• Portfolios are penalized instead of rewarded
• Traders are forced to overpost — just in case

It’s not just inefficient.

It’s dangerous.

The Solution: Real-Time, Contextual Margining

Jetstream recalculates your margin — live — across the full state of your book.

• Positions evaluated together
• Hedged exposure reduces your collateral requirement
• Multi-leg strategies are treated as portfolios, not noise
• Liquidation logic is transparent and anticipatory

This isn’t a simulation.

It’s clearing logic designed for actual trading environments.

Why It Matters for Serious Traders

If you’re moving real size, static margining kills capital flow.

You:

• Reduce your exposure
• Avoid advanced strategies
• Carry unnecessary risk
• Miss opportunities due to idle capital

Jetstream was built to reflect what your desk sees — not what a vault saw 12 blocks ago.

Bottom Line

If your margin doesn’t adapt with your portfolio, you’re trading in the past.

Jetstream’s real-time clearing engine ensures margin reflects risk — not rigid templates.

Because alpha is time-sensitive.

Your margin logic should be too.
