🌀 Vortex Trap Oscillator

Vortex Oscillator Core

Calculates the difference between upward and downward directional price flow.

Spikes in either direction highlight strong directional bias or potential exhaustion.

Trap Signal Logic

A Bullish Trap is signaled when:

Vortex turns strongly negative (false bearish pressure)

There's a volume burst

Buy/sell tension favors buyers

An RSI bullish divergence is detected

A Bearish Trap is signaled under the inverse conditions.

Volume Burst Filter

Compares current volume to a moving average baseline.

Triggers only when volume surges past a dynamic threshold.

Tension Filter

Compares smoothed buy and sell volumes.

Confirms whether aggressive participants are truly in control.

RSI Divergence Filter

Uses pivot-based divergence detection to validate exhaustion signals.

Adds another layer of trap confirmation.

📈 How To Use:
Overlay Mode: Use alongside price action to visually confirm trap signals.

Entry Timing:

Look for trap markers (▲ for bullish traps below bar, ▼ for bearish traps above bar).

Use confirmation from your own system (e.g. candle patterns, support/resistance).

Exit or Fade Strategy:

Consider fading the trap (trading against the move) if it aligns with higher-timeframe confluence.

Watch for reversal candles near trap zones.

🛠 Settings Tips:
Adjust Vortex Period to control trap sensitivity (shorter = more signals, longer = smoother).

Use Volume Burst Threshold to filter out noise on low-volume assets.

RSI Divergence Depth can be increased on higher timeframes for cleaner divergence reads.

🧠 Best Used For:
Detecting false breakouts

Catching mean reversions after stop hunts

Identifying momentum traps in volatile markets

Filtering aggressive moves that lack volume confirmation
