How Does the Exchange Notify a Trader of ADL?

Exchanges typically notify traders of an ADL event via an on-screen notification within the trading interface and often through an email or mobile app alert. The notification details the position that was deleveraged, the size of the reduction, and the new position size.

Transparency is key, but the notification occurs after the automatic deleveraging has taken place.
