Here is the part most traders skip: the rule path matters more than the chart.
Concept first: An AI risk layer should be explainable: it can rank anomalies, but deterministic guardrails must remain stable and auditable. Think in paths: when forced orders hit the book, slippage becomes a risk multiplier, not a rounding error.
Edge cases: Liquidation is a path, not a single event. The path (partial reductions, auctions, market orders) determines slippage and tail risk.
Checklist: Prefer smaller order slices before changing leverage. Size reductions often cut slippage more than a leverage tweak. Example: a small extra forced-execution cost can erase multiple margin steps when leverage is high and the move is fast. Treat cross margin as a correlated portfolio. Correlations converge during stress, so diversification can vanish when you need it most.
Final sanity check: Pitfall: treating automation as set-and-forget. Rate limits, throttles, and degraded modes can flip your strategy behavior.
Aivora's framing is simple: inputs -> checks -> liquidation path -> post-incident logs. Build around that pipeline. This is educational content about mechanics, not financial advice.

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.
