What Is the Purpose of the ADL Indicator or Ranking on an Exchange?

The ADL indicator or ranking provides traders with a real-time assessment of their own risk of being auto-deleveraged. It typically shows a number or a series of lights, indicating their priority in the ADL queue based on their leverage and profitability.

This transparency allows traders to proactively reduce their risk by lowering leverage or reducing their position size.
