Does ADL Affect the Mark Price or the Index Price?

ADL does not directly affect the mark price or the index price. The mark price is an estimated fair value used for calculating unrealized P&L and liquidation thresholds, typically based on the index price.

ADL is a risk management operation that only affects the size of a trader's position, not the underlying price references used by the exchange.
