SmartManiac — Smart Money Liquidity & Sentiment Indicator
Overview
SmartManiac is a comprehensive Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicator that combines liquidity structure analysis with volume delta sentiment detection. It automatically maps key liquidity levels, identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple timeframes, and detects potential reversal points using a multi-factor scoring system based on volume delta, liquidations, and price action.

Features
Liquidity Structure Mapping

• Previous Day/Week/Month High & Low (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML) — automatically detected and drawn with priority-based labeling
  
• Buy-Side & Sell-Side Liquidity (BSL/SSL) — swing highs and lows that act as liquidity targets
  
• Session High/Low — Asia, London, and New York session levels with customizable times
  
• Smart level merging — nearby levels are consolidated using ATR-based tolerance to reduce clutter
  
• Swept level tracking — lines change to dashed/dotted when price sweeps through them
  

Fair Value Gap (FVG) Zones

• Multi-timeframe FVG detection: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly
  
• Auto-filtering based on chart timeframe — prevents lower TF clutter on higher TF charts
  
• Status tracking: Untouched → Touched → Half-filled → Fully filled
  
• Sweep FVGs — special zones created when FVG forms immediately after a liquidity sweep
  

Sweep Imbalances

• Detects FVGs that form right after liquidity sweeps
  
• Shows pending zones in gray, changes to green (bullish setup) or red (bearish setup) when price returns to the zone
  
• Helps identify potential reversal entries after stop hunts
  

Volume Delta & Sentiment Analysis

• Aggregated volume from multiple exchanges for accurate delta calculation
  
• Z-score based extreme detection for buying/selling pressure
  
• Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) tracking
  

Peak FOMO / Depression Signals

1. 4-factor percentile scoring system:
   

2. Factor 1: Delta Z-score before reversal (buying/selling pressure buildup)
   
   Factor 2: Volume spike + price reversal bar
   
   Factor 3: Delta reversal confirmation
   
   Factor 4: Liquidations spike (requires external data source)

4. Signals show as 🔥 (FOMO top) or 💎 (Depression bottom)
   
6. Size varies by strength (tiny = moderate, small = strong)
   
8. Requires prior price move + reversal bar confirmation to reduce false signals
   

Sweep Visualization Boxes

• Visual representation of liquidations and delta at sweep points
  
• Box length normalized by √(line_length) for fair comparison
  
• Helps assess sweep "quality" — stronger sweeps may lead to stronger reversals
  

Sweep Confirmation Markers

After a sweep, watches for 3 confirmation factors within 5 bars:

Opposite candle color

Opposite-side liquidations

Opposite-side delta

Shows - marker when all 3 confirm

Risk State Background

Optional background coloring for Risk-Off (selling + long liqs) and Risk-On (buying + short liqs) states

Helps identify broader market sentiment regime

Debug Inspector

Moveable vertical line to inspect any bar's factor values

Useful for understanding why signals triggered or didn't trigger

How to Use

1. Liquidity Levels — Watch for price approaching PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL/PMH/PML and BSL/SSL levels. These are likely targets for stop hunts.
   
3. Sweep + FVG — After a sweep (level turns dashed), look for an FVG to form in the opposite direction. Gray sweep FVG turning green/red indicates potential entry zone.
   
5. Peak Signals — 🔥 appears at potential tops after strong rallies with extreme buying that reverses. 💎 appears at potential bottoms after drops with extreme selling that reverses. Hover over labels to see factor breakdown.
   
7. Confirmation Dots — Green - below price = bullish sweep confirmed. Red - above price = bearish sweep confirmed.
   

Settings
The indicator offers extensive customization:

• Toggle each feature on/off independently
  
• Customize colors and transparency for all elements
  
• Adjust sensitivity thresholds for signals
  
• Configure session times for your timezone
  
• Set liquidations data source from external indicator
  

External Data
For Factor 4 (Liquidations), connect an external liquidations indicator:

Add a liquidations indicator to your chart (e.g., TradingView's native Liquidations indicator)

In SmartManiac settings, select the Long and Short liquidation plots as sources

Note: TradingView's native indicator has inverted labels — swap if needed

Notes
Best used on liquid markets with volume data (BTC, ETH, major forex pairs)

Higher timeframes (1H, 4H) tend to produce more reliable signals

Combine with your own analysis — no indicator is 100% accurate

Liquidations data significantly improves signal quality but is optional
