Most platform comparisons stop at fees, but execution and liquidation behavior decide the real cost.
Quick definition: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable.
Why it matters: Funding is a transfer between traders, but timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits.
How to verify: Run a small-size rehearsal when liquidity is thin. Observe how stop orders trigger and how mark/last prices diverge around spikes. Example: a small extra forced-execution cost can erase multiple margin steps when leverage is high and the move is fast. Track funding together with basis and realized volatility. The combination is a better crowding signal than any single metric.
Practical habit: Pitfall: ignoring fees and funding in liquidation math. The platform can close you earlier than your stop-loss plan expects.
Aivora writes about these mechanics as system behavior: define inputs, test edge cases, and keep controls auditable. Derivatives are risky; test assumptions before you scale 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.
