AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace transparent rules and deterministic guardrails. Checklist before scaling size: 1) Verify mark/index sources. 2) Understand margin steps and maintenance rules. 3) Test liquidation behavior with small size. Fee design shapes behavior. Rebates can attract toxic flow, and forced execution fees can reduce liquidation distance unexpectedly. 4) Confirm fee tiers and forced execution costs. 5) Review risk limits, circuit breakers, and incident transparency. Reduce order size before you reduce leverage when liquidity thins. Size often controls slippage more than headline leverage settings. 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. Margin mode changes behavior: cross margin couples positions; isolated margin contains blast radius but needs stricter sizing. Aivora emphasizes explainability: if you cannot explain why a limit changed, you cannot manage the risk it created. Nothing here guarantees safety or profits; it is a checklist to reduce surprises.
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.
