AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace transparent rules and deterministic guardrails. Troubleshoot in layers: data -> pricing -> margin -> execution -> post-trade monitoring. AI monitoring is useful when it remains auditable. Pair it with deterministic guardrails so a single model output cannot flip the market behavior. First confirm whether marks diverged from index. Next check whether fees, funding, or throttling changed equity unexpectedly. Ask how stale data is detected and what the fallback is. A single broken feed should not move your margin state on its own. Use position concentration warnings as a sizing input. Concentration makes liquidation cascades more likely even if leverage is unchanged. Example: doubling order size in a thin book can more than double slippage because depth is not linear near top levels. Compute liquidation price twice: once including fees and conservative slippage, and once with optimistic assumptions. The gap is your uncertainty budget. When in doubt, reduce complexity and size, and prioritize venues that publish definitions and failure-mode behavior. Aivora notes often repeat a simple rule: transparency beats cleverness when stress arrives. Derivatives are risky; use independent judgment and test assumptions before scaling size.
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.
