PositionRequest Account

This page contains an overview of the Solana account types used in the Jupiter Perpetuals Program, and specifically the PositionRequest account.

The PositionRequest account is a struct which represents a set of parameters and states associated to a request to open or close a position, the PositionRequest account consists of mostly similar properties as Position account.

PositionRequest Account Derivation

It is a Program-Derived Address (PDA) derived from the underlying Position account's address, several constant seeds, and a random integer seed which makes each PositionRequest account unique.

The is an example PositionRequest account.

PositionRequestATA account

A PositionRequestATA account is created for each PositionRequest account.

The PositionRequestATA account is an associated token account derived from the PositionRequest that contains the tokens from the trader's deposits or withdrawals from withdrawing collateral or closing positions.

The tokens are then transferred to the position token's custody token account or returned to the trader's wallet when the PositionRequestATA account is closed.

Take Profit / Stop Loss Requests

PositionRequest accounts for non TP / SL requests are closed as soon as the request is executed or rejected.

TP / SL requests are also stored onchain via PositionRequest accounts. However, they will only be closed when the TP / SL request is triggered and executed.

Active TP / SL requests can be fetched onchain (through blockchain explorers like Solscan or SolanaFM) by searching for the PositionRequest address or public key associated with the TP / SL request.

Example Typescript Repository

This repository contains Typescript code samples on interacting with the Jupiter Perpetuals program IDL with anchor and @solana/web3.js

You can also find the Custody Account fields in the repository or on a blockchain explorer.

Account Details

Each PositionRequest account contains the following data:

Field	Description
owner	Type: publicKey The public key of the trader's account.
pool	Type: publicKey The public key of the JLP pool account.
custody	Type: publicKey The public key of the position's custody account.
collateralCustody	Type: publicKey The public key of the position's collateral custody account. Like the custody account, a collateralCustody account contains information for the token that's used as collateral for the position (SOL / wETH / wBTC for long positions, USDC / USDT for short positions). The borrow rates for the position will also be calculated based on the position's collateralCustody.
mint	Type: publicKey For opening positions and collateral deposits, mint refers to the input mint requested by the trader. For example, if a trader opens a position by providing the initial margin with SOL, then mint will be equal to SOL's mint address. If the trader deposits collateral in USDC, then mint will be equal to USDC's mint address. For closing positions and collateral withdrawals, mint is equal the to position collateral token's mint address. For example, if a trader closes a long SOL position, mint will be equal to SOL's mint address. If a trader closes a short SOL position, mint is equal to USDC or USDT's mint address depending on the position's collateral.
openTime	Type: i64 The time when the request of position is created in UNIX timestamp format.
updateTime	Type: i64 The time when the request of position is last updated in UNIX timestamp format.
sizeUsdDelta	Type: u64 The USD amount to increase or decrease the position size by. The amount is an integer in the atomic value (before decimals which is 6 for USDC / UST mints). For example, a position request to increase an open position's size by 10 USDC will have a sizeUsdDelta = 10000000.
collateralDelta	Type: u64 For opening positions and collateral deposits, collateralDelta is the token amount to increase or decrease the position collateral size by. The token amount is represented in atomic values (before decimals).
requestChange	Type: RequestChange requestChange will be equal to Increase for open position and collateral deposit requests, and Decrease for close position and collateral withdrawal requests.
requestType	Type: RequestType Market for all position requests except for TP / SL requests, which have a different requestType known as Trigger.
side	Type: Side Long for long positions, Short for short positions
priceSlippage	Type: u64 The maximum price with slippage for position requests when opening, closing, or updating the position size. - When increasing the size of a long position or decreasing the size of a short position, the request will fail if the current price of the position's token is greater than priceSlippage. - When decreasing the size of a long position or increasing the size of a short position, the request will fail if priceSlippage is greater than the current price of the position's token.
jupiterMinimumOut	Type: u64 For requests that require token swaps, the output amount of the token swap must be greater than or equal to jupiterMinimumOut, else the request will fail.
preSwapAmount	Type: u64 This is an internal attribute used by the program to calculate the collateralDelta for position requests that require token swaps.
triggerPrice	Type: u64 The price (USD) used for TP / SL position requests.
triggerAboveThreshold	Type: bool When triggerAboveThreshold is true, the TP / SL position request will be triggered when the position's token price is greater than or equal to triggerPrice. When triggerAboveThreshold is false, the TP / SL position request will be triggered when the position's token price is less than or equal to triggerPrice.
entirePosition	Type: bool This attribute is only checked when closing or decreasing position sizes. When entirePosition is true, the entire position will be closed (i.e. a close position request). When entirePosition is false, the position size will be reduced according to sizeUsdDelta.
executed	Type: bool Determines whether the position request is executed or not.
counter	Type: u64 The random integer seed used to derive the position request address.
bump	Type: u8 The bump seed used to derive the position request address.
