A lot of losses come from tiny assumptions: which price triggers liquidation, when funding hits, and how fees are applied.
Quick definition: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable. If you see unexplained liquidations, compare index updates to mark sampling and check whether outlier filters are documented.
Why it matters: Fee design is part of risk: forced execution costs can reduce your liquidation distance, and rebates can attract toxic flow that degrades fills.
How to verify: Prefer smaller order slices before changing leverage. Size reductions often cut slippage more than a leverage tweak. Example: a temporary rate-limit tightening can cause missed exits and worse fills even without a dramatic price crash. Treat cross margin as a correlated portfolio. Correlations converge during stress, so diversification can vanish when you need it most.
Practical habit: Pitfall: optimizing for rebates while ignoring toxicity. Toxic flow can widen spreads and raise liquidation costs.
Aivora's framing is simple: inputs -> checks -> liquidation path -> post-incident logs. Build around that pipeline. 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.
