Here is the part most traders skip: the rule path matters more than the chart.
Concept first: Liquidation is a path, not a single event. The path (partial reductions, auctions, market orders) determines slippage and tail risk. Funding is not a fee to the exchange; it is a transfer. The schedule and caps matter more than the headline number.
Edge cases: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable.
Checklist: Test reduce-only and post-only behavior with partial fills and fast cancels. Edge cases often appear during rapid moves. Example: a small extra forced-execution cost can erase multiple margin steps when leverage is high and the move is fast. If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises.
Final sanity check: Pitfall: trusting a single data source. One stale oracle feed can distort index and mark calculations if fallbacks are weak.
In Aivora notes, transparency beats cleverness when markets get loud. Nothing here guarantees safety or profits; it's 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.
