Wait for the tide to turn, then let the smooth line steer — a demand-supply gauge crossing its midline, confirmed by an adaptive trend line.
Core Idea
FathomTurn fires only when two independent conditions nod at once, so choppy, directionless drift is filtered out.
🌊 Demand-supply gauge (DeMarker)
Compares how far each bar's high pushes up vs. how far each low pushes down, blended into a clean 0–1 line. Crossing above 0.5 = buyers take the wheel; below = sellers.
🛡️ Smooth adaptive line (JMA)
A fast-yet-silky adaptive trend line. Its slope direction decides which side is allowed — we glide with the bigger flow, not against it.
Signal Logic

Entry Windows
LONG ↑
① Gauge crosses ABOVE 0.5
② Smooth line slopes UP
③ Active: ATR ≥ floor
SHORT ↓
① Gauge crosses BELOW 0.5
② Smooth line slopes DOWN
③ Active: ATR ≥ floor
