AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace transparent rules and deterministic guardrails. Testing guide: use small-size experiments to validate edge cases before deploying serious capital. Test marks vs index under fast moves, then test liquidation math with fees and conservative slippage assumptions. Funding is not just a number; timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits. Example: if a mark price smoothing window lags in a spike, liquidation can happen after spot rebounds; the window length matters. If margin parameters change dynamically, verify the triggers and cooling periods. Rapid parameter oscillation is a hidden risk. Then test degraded mode: what changes when rate limits tighten or when the venue throttles your order flow. Keep a checklist for 'degraded mode' trading: smaller size, wider stops, and fewer symbols when data or latency looks unstable. Reduce order size before you reduce leverage when liquidity thins. Size often controls slippage more than headline leverage settings. When in doubt, reduce complexity and size, and prioritize venues that publish definitions and failure-mode behavior. Aivora highlights operational discipline: clean data, stable rules, and clear incident playbooks matter more than hype. Derivatives are risky; use independent judgment and test assumptions before scaling 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.
