Price Targets

Eden Price Targets are expiration-based upper and lower estimates derived from the options chain available for a supported ticker. They provide scenario boundaries for planning; they are not promised destinations, personalized recommendations, or measures of probable profit.

Open Price Targets in Eden

1. Open Eden and choose a supported stock or ETF.
2. Find the Price Targets panel in the ticker workspace.
3. Expand an expiration month.
4. Review the listed expiration date, days to expiration, move, lower target, and upper target.
5. Select a range or boundary to place it on Eden’s workspace chart when a chart is visible. If no chart is visible, Eden provides copy actions for the range, upper value, or lower value.

Eden groups targets by expiration month and marks eligible Friday weekly expirations with (W). The current interface does not publish fixed “daily, monthly, quarterly, and yearly” target products as separate controls, so this documentation uses the expiration dates actually shown.

What each target represents

For each calculable expiration, Eden displays:

Field	Meaning
Move	The size of the model’s estimated move from the snapshot spot price
Lower	Snapshot spot price minus the estimated move
Upper	Snapshot spot price plus the estimated move
DTE	Calendar days remaining until expiration

The current implementation calculates the move from option ask values around the at-the-money strike for that expiration. It does not use the legacy documentation’s claimed “option premium flow plus implied volatility” formula, so that description is not carried forward here.

The four major Price Target horizons

Eden does not show four separate weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly buttons. These are planning horizons you create by choosing the matching expiration row in the Price Targets widget.

Mark each horizon near the start of its period. Record the target, snapshot spot price, and analysis time so you know which values belong together.

1. Weekly Price Targets

Mark the weekly target near the beginning of the trading week.

1. Open the Price Targets widget.
2. Expand the current expiration month.
3. Choose the expiration that represents the end of the current trading week for that ticker.
4. Record the upper target, lower target, and estimated move.

Many products use a Friday weekly expiration, but available weekly dates vary. Use the actual expiration displayed in Eden rather than assuming every ticker has the same schedule.

The weekly target answers: What range is the options market estimating through the end of this trading week?

2. Monthly Price Targets

Mark the monthly target near the beginning of the month.

Choose the standard monthly expiration shown for that month, which is commonly the third Friday for listed equity and ETF options. Confirm the exact date in Eden because exchange holidays and product-specific listings can affect the available expiration.

The monthly target gives you a wider map than the weekly target. It can help frame swing trades and show whether a shorter target sits inside a much larger expected range.

3. Quarterly Price Targets

Mark the quarterly target near the beginning of each calendar quarter.

The quarterly cycle uses March, June, September, and December. Quarterly Options under OCC’s quarterly program expire on the last business day of the financial quarter, while some standard quarterly-cycle expirations use the third Friday. Select the actual March, June, September, or December expiration row shown in Eden for the product you are reviewing.

Use this schedule:

Quarter	Mark near	Quarterly expiration month
Q1	Beginning of January	March
Q2	Beginning of April	June
Q3	Beginning of July	September
Q4	Beginning of October	December

For an ETF, the quarterly target helps frame the larger expected range through the end of the current quarter.

For a single stock, earnings may be a more useful quarterly catalyst than the calendar-quarter expiration. After the latest earnings reaction has had time to settle, verify the company’s next expected earnings date and choose the first available expiration on or after that date. That target can frame the options market’s expected range through the next earnings event.

Earnings dates can change. Verify the date from the company or another reliable calendar before selecting the expiration, and recheck the target as the event approaches.

4. Yearly Price Targets

Mark the yearly target once the new year begins, ideally during the first trading week of January.

Choose the available expiration closest to the end of the new planning year or approximately 12 months away. If that expiration is not listed yet, use the longest suitable expiration currently available and replace it when the preferred date appears.

The yearly target creates a broad scenario range. It is not a forecast of where price will finish the year, and it should not be treated like a precise short-term support or resistance line.

Same-day targets for 0DTE trades

For a same-day trade, select today’s 0 DTE expiration when the ticker offers one. Let the regular options session run for roughly 15 to 20 minutes before recording the values so the target reflects an active-session options snapshot rather than a premarket value.

Use the upper and lower 0DTE targets as possible same-day boundaries. They remain estimates, and price does not have to reach either one.

Use targets in a plan

Build scenarios, not promises

An upper target can frame an upside scenario and a lower target can frame a downside scenario. Neither tells you that price will travel there. Compare the targets with current price, Key Levels, liquidity, and the time remaining in the session or trade.

Plan exits before entry

A target can help you decide whether a proposed trade has enough room to justify its invalidation point. If the next relevant target is too close, the setup may not fit your risk plan even when the directional thesis is reasonable.

Copy or place only what you need

If Eden’s workspace chart is visible, selecting a target can toggle its upper and lower boundaries on that chart. For an external chart such as TradingView, copy the values and add them manually. Eden does not sync drawings to TradingView.

Why targets change

Targets can change when Eden receives a new options snapshot, the underlying spot price changes, available expirations change, or the contracts used by the calculation change. An expiration can also disappear from the active analysis after it expires.

Eden updates analysis during the trading day. Refresh the current ticker before acting on a value copied earlier. Price levels may be available before the opening bell, but the options market is not active in premarket hours; do not treat an early-morning target as newly updated live options activity.

Practical workflow

1. Choose the ticker and expiration that match the planned holding period.
2. Record the analysis time and snapshot spot price.
3. Compare the upper and lower targets with nearby key levels.
4. Decide which scenario would support the thesis and what behavior would invalidate it.
5. Copy the relevant boundaries into the chart or toggle them on Eden’s workspace chart.
6. Recheck the analysis after a material price move or later in the session.
7. Remove or relabel stale values so the chart does not mix different snapshots.

Limits

Price Targets are estimates from a defined model and available options data. They do not account for every future event, guarantee that either boundary will be reached, or replace a trader’s own risk controls.
