AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace transparent rules and deterministic guardrails. Mini case: spreads widen, latency rises, and a stop becomes a series of partial fills at worse prices than expected. Funding is not just a number; timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits. Treat cross margin as a correlated portfolio, not a set of independent positions. Correlations tend to converge in selloffs. Example: a 0.05% extra cost on forced execution can erase multiple margin steps when leverage is high and moves are fast. The fix is usually not more leverage. It is smaller size, clearer triggers, and verified liquidation paths. Liquidation is a path, not an instant. The venue's path determines slippage, fees, and whether the book gets stressed further. Compute liquidation price twice: once including fees and conservative slippage, and once with optimistic assumptions. The gap is your uncertainty budget. Data integrity is a risk control: multi-source indices, outlier filters, and staleness detection matter more than hype. Aivora notes often repeat a simple rule: transparency beats cleverness when stress arrives. Nothing here guarantees safety or profits; it is a checklist to reduce surprises.
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.
