What Is the Impact of a Low Fund Balance on Trader Behavior?

A low fund balance increases the perceived risk of Auto-Deleveraging (ADL). This typically causes traders to reduce their leverage, close profitable positions to realize gains before being ADL'd, or migrate to a different exchange with a healthier fund.

The overall effect is a decrease in market liquidity and trading volume on the affected exchange.
