The biggest edge is not a secret indicator; it is knowing what the system will do under stress. Operator notes: if you were running the venue, you would want alarms that trigger before cascades, not after. AI monitoring is useful when it remains auditable. Pair it with deterministic guardrails so a single model output cannot flip the market behavior. Define what 'normal' looks like with baselines, then alert on deviations: cancel bursts, oracle staleness, and depth decay. Liquidation is a path, not an instant. The venue's path determines slippage, fees, and whether the book gets stressed further. Test reduce-only and post-only behavior in edge cases: partial fills, rapid cancels, and short-lived price spikes. Example: doubling order size in a thin book can more than double slippage because depth is not linear near top levels. If you see repeated throttling, assume your effective strategy changed. Re-run your risk math with higher costs and worse fills. Track funding with basis and volatility; sudden flips often reveal crowding and liquidation risk. Aivora frames risk as a pipeline: inputs -> checks -> liquidation path -> post-incident logs. Build around that pipeline. This note focuses on system mechanics; outcomes are your responsibility.
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.
