Continuous Trap Cards (Japanese: 永（えい）続（ぞく）罠（トラップ）カード Eizoku Torappu Kādo) are Trap Cards that stay on the field after activation. The effect(s) of these cards will remain active until the owner cannot maintain the cost or condition(s) indicated on the card (if any) OR it is destroyed. One example of a Continuous Trap Card is "Spellbinding Circle", which effectively freezes an enemy monster on the field, so it can neither change battle position nor declare an attack.
