What Is the Alternative to ADL Used by Some Exchanges?

The primary alternative to the ADL system is a 'socialized loss' system. In this model, if the insurance fund is depleted, the remaining losses are distributed proportionally among all profitable traders.

This spreads the loss thinly across a wider base, rather than targeting a few highly profitable and leveraged traders. However, it can still be unpopular.
