## How to Update Your Target

1. Navigate to **Investor Profile** in the main menu
2. Find the **Yield Income Target** section
3. Click **Adjust**
4. Enter your new annual income target (in USD)
5. Save your changes

Your dashboard will immediately update to show your progress toward the new goal.

## How the Yield Income Tracker Works

Your dashboard displays:

**Projected Annual Yield** Your projected annual income (fees + rewards) based on the current performance of your in-range positions.

*Calculation:* Estimated annualized yield using **Time-Weighted Average Capital (TWAC)**, so adding or removing liquidity mid-way doesn't skew the projection. The estimate gets more accurate as your positions age.

**Your Target** The annual income goal you've set (e.g., "\$10,000 /year")

**Progress Indicator** Visual bar showing how close your projected annual yield is to your goal.

> **Important:** Only in-range positions that are actively earning fees count toward your projection. Out-of-range positions contribute 0% since they're not generating yield.

## Setting a Realistic Target

**Consider your capital** If you have $100,000 deployed and target $50,000/year, you'd need to maintain a 50% APR across all positions—which is ambitious.

**Account for market conditions** Bear markets typically offer lower yields than bull markets. Your target might need adjustment based on overall DeFi market conditions.

**Factor in active management** Higher targets often require more frequent rebalancing to keep positions in range and maximizing fees.

**Start conservative** You can always increase your target as your portfolio grows or market opportunities improve.

## Target Examples

| **Amount** | **Experience Level** |
| - | - |
| \$100-1,000/year | Learning & Growing |
| \$1,000-10,000/year | Building Portfolio |
| \$10,000+/year | Experienced Investor |

## Why Track Your Income Goal?

**Focus your strategy** Having a clear target helps you make better decisions about position sizing, protocol selection, and risk management.

**Measure progress** See at a glance whether your current positions are on track to meet your annual income goals.

**Adjust as needed** Your financial goals change over time. Update your target as your portfolio grows or your income needs shift.
