What is Bull/Bear Trap Scalp?
Bull/Bear Trap Scalp shows scalp-focused squeeze pressure zones. While normal Bull/Bear Trap Zones cover a wider timeframe, the Scalp version focuses on shorter-term position data to identify scalp trade opportunities.
The LONG/SHORT label shows the direction of pressure, while the arrow and percentage value show whether this pressure has strengthened or weakened in recent updates.

How does Bull/Bear Trap Scalp appear in the CloudCraft terminal?
Scalp zones are marked with boxes on the chart. Each box has a LONG or SHORT label, direction arrow, and percentage change information. These areas are potential reversal or acceleration zones.
How to use Bull/Bear Trap Scalp?
Scalp Entry: When price approaches a Scalp zone, pay attention to the zone's direction (LONG/SHORT). If pressure is strengthening (arrow up + percentage increase), that zone is an active squeeze point with short-term reversal potential.
Confluence: Use Scalp zones together with normal Trap Zones. If pressure is in the same direction in both timeframes, the signal is stronger.

Pro tip
Trap Scalp data alone is not a buy/sell signal. However, when evaluated together with other data (Volume Profile, Key Levels, Whale Zones), it serves as a powerful filter in short-term trade planning.
