Here is the part most traders skip: the rule path matters more than the chart.
Quick definition: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable. Funding is not a fee to the exchange; it is a transfer. The schedule and caps matter more than the headline number.
Why it matters: Latency is a risk factor. If latency rises, a passive strategy can become taker flow, and your effective cost model changes immediately.
How to verify: If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises. Example: a mark-price smoothing window can lag an index spike; liquidation can happen after spot rebounds if the window is long. Prefer smaller order slices before changing leverage. Size reductions often cut slippage more than a leverage tweak.
Practical habit: Pitfall: assuming mark price equals last price. In stress, they diverge, and liquidation triggers can surprise you.
In Aivora notes, transparency beats cleverness when markets get loud. This note is about system mechanics; outcomes are your responsibility.

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.
