Margin at risk

The Margin-at-Risk (short: MaR) is a quantity used to manage short-term liquidity risks due to variation of margin requirements, i.e. it is a financial risk occurring when trading commodities. Similar to the Value-at-Risk (VaR), but instead of the EBIT it is a quantile of the (expected) cash flow distribution. (Wikipedia).
