Kyushu Ashi

22 Mac 2022

Kyushu Ashi is one of the Ichimoku strategies which was originally introduced in Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Weekly book by Goichi Hosoda.

<< History >>
Back when Goichi Hosoda was sharing his market analysis in Miyako Newspaper, traders were hand-writing the open, close, high, and low price levels as well as 5 price values of Ichimoku (Tenkan sen, Kijun sen, Chiko span, Senko span A, Senko span B) every day. And because there was no PC back then, it was a bit too much of work. So traders asked Goichi Hosoda if they can simplify their analysis, and introduced Kyushu Ashi technique.

<< About Kyushu Ashi >>
Kyu means 9, Shu means week, Ashi means candles in Japanese. Kyushu Ashi is to capture market reverse and trend continuation on Weekly timeframe by using Kihon Suchi time cycles.
According to the original book, you cannot trade by Kyushu Ashi only. You need to use it together with Ichimoku 5 lines.
