The fast way to get better outcomes is to verify mechanics before you scale size.
Quick definition: Funding is a transfer between traders, but timing, rounding, and caps can change equity at the worst moment. Verify schedule and limits.
Why it matters: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable.
How to verify: Prefer smaller order slices before changing leverage. Size reductions often cut slippage more than a leverage tweak. Example: small funding transfers compound; over several cycles they can materially shift equity and your maintenance buffer. Run a small-size rehearsal when liquidity is thin. Observe how stop orders trigger and how mark/last prices diverge around spikes.
Practical habit: 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. Nothing here guarantees safety or profits; it's 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.
