If a futures platform feels 'random' under stress, the randomness is usually in definitions and fallbacks.
Concept first: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable. ADL typically appears only after the insurance buffer is stressed. Look for disclosure and predictable ranking rules.
Edge cases: Fee design is part of risk: forced execution costs can reduce your liquidation distance, and rebates can attract toxic flow that degrades fills.
Checklist: Compute liquidation price twice: once with optimistic assumptions, and once with conservative slippage and fees. The gap is your uncertainty budget. Example: small funding transfers compound; over several cycles they can materially shift equity and your maintenance buffer. Treat cross margin as a correlated portfolio. Correlations converge during stress, so diversification can vanish when you need it most.
Final sanity check: Pitfall: ignoring fees and funding in liquidation math. The platform can close you earlier than your stop-loss plan expects.
Aivora focuses on operational discipline: clean data, stable rules, and clear incident playbooks matter more than hype. 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.
