Is ADL More Common in High-Leverage or Low-Leverage Trading Environments?

ADL is significantly more common in high-leverage trading environments. High leverage leads to faster liquidations and a higher probability that the liquidation price will be worse than the bankruptcy price, resulting in deficits.

This, in turn, increases the strain on the insurance fund and the likelihood of the ADL system being triggered.
