Trapped Traders

Trapped aggressors

Who ended up offside — reversal fuel.

Trapped Traders — The add-on window, drawn by its own code over a hundred seconds of synthetic session — range, buying pressure and absorption. It is not a mock-up, but it is not live market either: it shows what the tool measures, not a trade.

What it is for

Identifies trapped aggressors: who committed strong one-sided aggression and then saw price fail to continue or turn against them, leaving them offside and likely to be forced out.

How to read it

Trap Score ↑: Many aggressors offside: the aggression must have been strong, one-sided and met adverse excursion. All three.
Unwind Pressure ↑: Committed volume times severity: how much forced covering is building up.

What it does NOT mean

It names who is trapped and how much fuel there is, but it does not tell you to fade them. That call is yours.
