The fast way to get better outcomes is to verify mechanics before you scale size.
Concept first: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable. Funding is not a fee to the exchange; it is a transfer. The schedule and caps matter more than the headline number.
Edge cases: Fee design is part of risk: forced execution costs can reduce your liquidation distance, and rebates can attract toxic flow that degrades fills.
Checklist: Test reduce-only and post-only behavior with partial fills and fast cancels. Edge cases often appear during rapid moves. Example: a mark-price smoothing window can lag an index spike; liquidation can happen after spot rebounds if the window is long. Prefer smaller order slices before changing leverage. Size reductions often cut slippage more than a leverage tweak.
Final sanity check: Pitfall: overusing cross margin without correlation thinking. Portfolio coupling can turn a hedge into a trigger.
Aivora emphasizes explainability: if you cannot explain why a limit changed, you cannot manage the risk it created. This note is about 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.
