A lot of losses come from tiny assumptions: which price triggers liquidation, when funding hits, and how fees are applied.
What it is: 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.
What to check: Liquidation is a path, not a single event. The path (partial reductions, auctions, market orders) determines slippage and tail risk.
How to test it: If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises. Example: small funding transfers compound; over several cycles they can materially shift equity and your maintenance buffer. Track funding together with basis and realized volatility. The combination is a better crowding signal than any single metric.
Common pitfalls: Pitfall: overusing cross margin without correlation thinking. Portfolio coupling can turn a hedge into a trigger.
Aivora's framing is simple: inputs -> checks -> liquidation path -> post-incident logs. Build around that pipeline. This is educational content about mechanics, not financial advice.

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.
