💰 Felix Goes 5x

🛢️ Oil Spike Triggers Mass Liquidations
A 35% weekend crude oil price surge—the largest since 1983—triggered significant liquidations on Felix's OIL-USDH market. **Key Numbers:** - 913 short positions liquidated - $3.7m in shorts wiped out (March 7-8) - $2.13m in auto-deleveraging (ADL) of profitable longs **What is ADL?** Auto-deleveraging closes profitable positions when liquidated positions lack sufficient margin. This prevents platform insolvency by matching profitable traders against underwater positions. **ADL Priority Formula:** (mark_price / entry_price) × (notional_position / account_value) **Why Felix Saw Heavy ADL:** Felix's HIP-3 markets lack HLP (Hyperliquid Liquidity Provider) support, which normally absorbs liquidations first. Without this buffer, the platform went straight to ADL. **Comparison:** TradeXYZ's CL-USDC market saw $31.02m liquidations and $4.08m ADLs during the same period. The platform expects these mass ADL events to decrease as 24/7 traditional asset markets mature.
