AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace clear rules you can audit.
Concept first: Funding is a transfer between traders, but timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits. Depth is not linear. What looks like 'a little thinner' can create a lot more price impact at size.
Edge cases: Liquidation is a path, not a single event. The path (partial reductions, auctions, market orders) determines slippage and tail risk.
Checklist: Run a small-size rehearsal when liquidity is thin. Observe how stop orders trigger and how mark/last prices diverge around spikes. Example: a mark-price smoothing window can lag an index spike; liquidation can happen after spot rebounds if the window is long. Prefer smaller order slices before changing leverage. Size reductions often cut slippage more than a leverage tweak.
Final sanity check: Pitfall: treating automation as set-and-forget. Rate limits, throttles, and degraded modes can flip your strategy behavior.
Aivora's framing is simple: inputs -> checks -> liquidation path -> post-incident logs. Build around that pipeline. This note is about system mechanics; outcomes are your responsibility.

Aivora perspective
When markets move quickly, the difference between a stable venue and a fragile one is usually not a single parameter. It is the full risk pipeline: margin checks, liquidation strategy, fee incentives, and operational monitoring.
If you trade perps
Track funding and realized volatility together. Funding tends to amplify crowded positioning.
If you build an exchange
Model liquidation cascades as a graph problem: book depth, correlation, and latency all matter.
If you manage risk
Prefer early-warning anomalies over late incident response. Drift is a signal, not noise.
Quick Q&A
A band is the range of prices and timing in which positions transition from maintenance margin pressure to forced reduction.
Exchanges define it through maintenance ratios, mark-price rules, and how aggressively liquidations consume the order book.
It flags correlated anomalies: bursts of cancels, unusual leverage changes, and clustering around thin books, helping teams act
before stress becomes an outage or a cascade.
