# Automatic Deleveraging (ADL) Mechanism

When the market experiences drastic fluctuations and the platform’s insurance fund cannot fully cover liquidation losses, ChainBitX will activate the "Automatic Deleveraging Mechanism (ADL)" to maintain overall system balance.

**ADL Ranking Mechanism:**

The system ranks all users’ positions based on **position profit rate (profit/margin)** and **leverage multiple**.

Positions with higher profits and larger leverage are ranked higher and are prioritized for deleveraging.

**ADL Execution Rules:**

Once the system confirms the need to activate ADL, it will automatically reduce part or all of the positions of users holding opposite-direction positions ranked at the top.

Deleveraging is executed at market price and requires no manual intervention by users.

**User Notification:**

If a user’s position is reduced by the ADL mechanism, the system will mark “ADL Deleveraging” in the **Historical Orders** section.

Users will also receive corresponding push notifications indicating that their positions have been partially liquidated automatically.
