AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace clear rules you can audit.
Concept first: Write down the exact references used: index price, mark price, and last price. Then confirm which reference drives margin checks and liquidation triggers. Operational failures often look like market losses. Log your requests and monitor throttling so you know what changed.
Edge cases: Funding is a transfer between traders, but timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits.
Checklist: Track funding together with basis and realized volatility. The combination is a better crowding signal than any single metric. Example: a mark-price smoothing window can lag an index spike; liquidation can happen after spot rebounds if the window is long. If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises.
Final sanity check: Pitfall: overusing cross margin without correlation thinking. Portfolio coupling can turn a hedge into a trigger.
In Aivora notes, transparency beats cleverness when markets get loud. 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.
