How Is the Loss Amount Calculated for Socialization?

The loss amount for socialization is calculated as the total deficit remaining after all available liquidation margins and the entire insurance fund have been exhausted. This net deficit is then divided proportionally among all profitable traders on the opposite side of the market.

The allocation is usually based on the size and profitability of each trader's position, ensuring those with larger gains contribute more to cover the shortfall.
