Hi,to compute PFE I need to use only positive mark to market or all of them?I mean, at each t I need to calculate the alpha percentile using as distribution all the mark to market or only the positive one?

in the end a matter of definition, but taking the whole (unconditional) distribution is much more intuitive imo
