Does ADL Affect a Trader’s Realized Profit or Unrealized Profit?

ADL affects a trader's unrealized profit. The system closes the profitable position at the bankrupt trader's liquidation price.

This effectively realizes the profit up to that point. However, the trader loses the potential for further unrealized gains on the closed portion of the position.

The exchange pays the realized profit to the trader.
