AI can help rank anomalies, but it cannot replace clear rules you can audit.
The mechanism: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable. ADL typically appears only after the insurance buffer is stressed. Look for disclosure and predictable ranking rules.
Where it breaks: Fee design is part of risk: forced execution costs can reduce your liquidation distance, and rebates can attract toxic flow that degrades fills.
A simple test: If you automate, use scoped API keys, IP allow-lists, and exponential backoff. Limits often tighten exactly when volatility rises. Example: a temporary rate-limit tightening can cause missed exits and worse fills even without a dramatic price crash. Treat cross margin as a correlated portfolio. Correlations converge during stress, so diversification can vanish when you need it most.
What to do next: Pitfall: treating automation as set-and-forget. Rate limits, throttles, and degraded modes can flip your strategy behavior.
Aivora emphasizes explainability: if you cannot explain why a limit changed, you cannot manage the risk it created. Derivatives are risky; test assumptions before you scale 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.
