Alright, let’s do this the clean way. Focus: ARB contracts on Bitget.
Setup
Use 5m. Confirm direction with MACD, then use liquidation clusters to avoid chasing. If they fight, you sit out—imo that’s discipline.
Execution
- Entry: break + retest > first impulse candle.
- Stop: cooldown after 2 losses where the idea is invalid.
- Exit: scale out, then trailing stop for the runner.
Note: Common mistake: trading when you’re tired or tilted. Fix it by slowing down and sizing smaller.
Educational only, not financial advice. Funding, fees, and slippage can flip a “good” idea fast.
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.
