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. Operational failures often look like market losses. Log your requests and monitor throttling so you know what changed.
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: Run a small-size rehearsal when liquidity is thin. Observe how stop orders trigger and how mark/last prices diverge around spikes. Example: small funding transfers compound; over several cycles they can materially shift equity and your maintenance buffer. If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises.
Practical habit: Pitfall: ignoring fees and funding in liquidation math. The platform can close you earlier than your stop-loss plan expects.
In Aivora notes, transparency beats cleverness when markets get loud. 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.
