How to build your own trap in Trap Radar: rules, strictness and signal frequency

Five building steps

1. Quick startStart from a preset, from scratch, or import a demo radar's settings. A finished trap can be exported and loaded back; there is also an instruction for an AI assistant.
2. Name and directionName the trap, choose LONG or SHORT and switch the radar on.
3. Exchange, market and coinsBybit or Binance, futures or spot (signals are calculated on futures data). Coins — all, a list, or all except exclusions; plus filters by funding interval, copy trading and innovation zone. The pause between signals per coin, in seconds, is set here too.
4. ConditionsTurn on the ones you need out of 112 conditions in 8 data groups. Each has a mode — a threshold (≥ or ≤) or a “from–to” corridor — and a mark: required rule (AND) or confirmation (OR). Set the minimum number of confirmations.
5. SaveSave the trap — it runs in the background even when the dashboard is closed. Then, if you want: Telegram alerts, trade execution by button or automatically, and a backtest on history.

What sets the signal frequency

Trap Radar doesn't limit how many events you get: your settings decide. Five levers determine whether a trap is noisy or sniper-like:

One more detail from the dashboard help: if the conditions hold continuously, the radar doesn't create an event on every update — it needs a new match. So even a noisy trap doesn't duplicate the same moment for one coin.

You can move these levers and watch the strictness change in the “Your trap, your frequency” block on the home page.

Three traps of different strictness

Noisy — for watching the market. One or two conditions, for example RSI 5m ≥ 60 and a volume spike ≥ 2x, no confirmations and no pause, across all futures. It fires constantly — handy as a live feed of what is happening, but not for entering on every signal.

Working — for reviewing signals by hand. Three to five required rules from different groups (RSI, open interest, price), at least 2 confirmations, a 15–60 minute pause. A few events a day — each one can be opened and reviewed.

Sniper — for waiting for a rare setup. Seven or more required rules with strict corridors, a high confirmation minimum, a pause of an hour or more. That is how the Swan Precision demo radar works: as of 15.10.2026 it had 5 events in total. For comparison, Black Swan had 11 events in 30 days and Failed Breakout had 15.

The direction is yours too: the same levers work for LONG — for example, a bounce after a sell-off with oversold RSI, long liquidations and a CVD reversal.

How to test a trap before real money

1. Look at the event history: the dashboard shows how many events a trap had in 24 hours, 7 and 30 days.
2. Turn on a backtest with your take-profit and stop — it shows how past signals would have ended.
3. Too many signals — add a required rule, tighten a threshold or raise the confirmation minimum. Silent for weeks — loosen the strictest condition.
4. Only then connect Telegram and auto-entry.

Common mistakes

• Too many conditions at once. A trap of fifteen strict rules can stay silent for months. Start with a core of three to five rules and add one at a time.
• Every condition required. Confirmations (OR) with a minimum are more flexible: the radar fires even if one secondary condition doesn't match.
• No pause on a noisy trap. Without a pause an active coin produces event after event. A pause per coin doesn't block other coins.
• Expecting a frequency without checking. The order of frequency depends on the market: on quiet days every trap fires less often. Check the history and the backtest.
