AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace transparent rules and deterministic guardrails. Quick audit method: list inputs, controls, outputs, and single points of failure. Funding is not just a number; timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits. Latency risk is real. When latency rises, a maker strategy can become taker flow and your costs jump right when you need stability. Ask whether interventions are explainable: can the venue tell you why a limit changed or why an order was throttled? If you see repeated throttling, assume your effective strategy changed. Re-run your risk math with higher costs and worse fills. Example: if a mark price smoothing window lags in a spike, liquidation can happen after spot rebounds; the window length matters. Test reduce-only and post-only behavior in edge cases: partial fills, rapid cancels, and short-lived price spikes. Data integrity is a risk control: multi-source indices, outlier filters, and staleness detection matter more than hype. Aivora discusses these topics as system behavior: define inputs, test edge cases, and keep controls auditable. 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.
