Alright, let’s do this the clean way. Focus: AAVE contracts on Phemex.
Setup
Use 1m. Confirm direction with EMA(20), then use volume profile to avoid chasing. If they fight, you sit out—no cap that’s discipline.
Execution
- Entry: break + retest > first impulse candle.
- Stop: max daily loss limit where the idea is invalid.
- Exit: scale out, then position sizing by ATR for the runner.
The goal isn’t to win every trade. The goal is to stay in the game long enough for your edge to matter.
Note: Common mistake: chasing the first spike instead of waiting for a retest. Fix it by slowing down and sizing smaller.
Educational only, not financial advice. Rules differ by exchange; check margin and liquidation details on your platform.
Wrap: Missed trades are cheaper than liquidation.
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.
