Jetstream for Perps Veterans: Trade the Same, Clear Smarter

Jetstream replaces the typical perp leverage slider with a VaR-based Margin Ratio bar.

If you’re used to isolated margin on perps — where each bet sits on its own island — think again.

Want to recreate your favorite trade from Hyperliquid or similar platforms?

Just size your dated-future position so that the notional equals your desired leverage times your equity — and keep the Margin Ratio under 100%.

You’ll get the same outcome, but:

No funding fees
10x lower trading fees

And frankly, which professional still wants to trade the old way?

Jetstream lets you:

Deposit equity once
Trade across multiple assets
Lock only the required margin, automatically adjusted
Get cross-margin and margin offset by default
Skip funding completely
Enjoy serious hedging
Pay a fraction of what CEXs charge

What Jetstream Actually Is

Jetstream is an on-chain futures clearing platform.

It offers deliverable, expiring futures and margins them using a portfolio-wide Value-at-Risk (VaR) engine — just like traditional finance, but composable.

Effective Leverage on Jetstream: A Mental Flip

On traditional perp DEXs like Hyperliquid, you pick leverage (5x, 10x, 20x) with a slider.

On Jetstream, you just size your trade. We won’t artificially liquidate you early or squeeze out residual margin.

There’s also:

No funding payments every few hours
No isolated margin — you get full portfolio margining
Hedging works naturally — a BTC/ETH spread will cost less than either leg solo

Why Short-Term Traders Love This

No funding spikes to kill your intraday performance
No hidden liquidation mechanics — margin logic is on-chain and transparent
Fees are 10x lower than leading perps (0.003% taker vs 0.03%)
All capital sits in one wallet — isolated margin traps are gone
Spread trading and scalping are cheaper and easier
No surprise liquidations — everything is governed by your Margin Ratio

For Scalpers and Fast Movers

Jetstream gives you:

Familiar order books
Tight spreads
Ridiculously low costs
No surprise funding draining your gains

Mental Shift Checklist for Perp Vets

Old reflex: Drag the leverage slider to 10x

New habit: Monitor your Margin Ratio (ideal: 60–80%)

Old reflex: Stress about funding payments

New habit: Don’t — they don’t exist here

Old reflex: Separate margin pools for BTC, ETH, etc.

New habit: Trade everything from a single wallet with unified margin

Old reflex: Always check liquidation price

New habit: Just track your liquidation ratio

And remember: expiry only happens once a month, not every few hours like funding.

It’s less maintenance, more control.

Final Thought‍

Jetstream feels like a perp.

But it’s clearer, cheaper, and smarter.
