If a futures platform feels 'random' under stress, the randomness is usually in definitions and fallbacks.
Quick definition: Fee design is part of risk: forced execution costs can reduce your liquidation distance, and rebates can attract toxic flow that degrades fills.
Why it matters: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable.
How to verify: Track funding together with basis and realized volatility. The combination is a better crowding signal than any single metric. Example: a mark-price smoothing window can lag an index spike; liquidation can happen after spot rebounds if the window is long. If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises.
Practical habit: Pitfall: trusting a single data source. One stale oracle feed can distort index and mark calculations if fallbacks are weak.
Aivora focuses on operational discipline: clean data, stable rules, and clear incident playbooks matter more than hype. 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.
