Kyushu Ashi, one of the Ichimoku strategies, was initially presented in the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Weekly book by Goichi Hosoda.
<< Historical Context >>
During his time contributing market analysis to the Miyako Newspaper, traders faced the laborious task of manually recording daily open, close, high, and low price levels, alongside the five price values of Ichimoku (Tenkan sen, Kijun sen, Chiko span, Senko span A, Senko span B). With the absence of personal computers, this process was notably cumbersome. In response to traders' requests for a simplified analysis method, Goichi Hosoda introduced the Kyushu Ashi technique.
<< About Kyushu Ashi >>
Derived from Japanese, where "Kyu" denotes nine, "Shu" refers to week, and "Ashi" translates to candles, Kyushu Ashi aims to identify market reversals and trend continuations by leveraging Kihon Suchi time cycles. However, as stated in the original book, trading solely with Kyushu Ashi is not advisable; it is recommended to combine it with the Ichimoku's five lines for a comprehensive trading approach.
Our indicator enhances the Kyushu Ashi strategy by incorporating the original signals in a simplified manner showing up or down carrets in the legs. Additionally, it colors candles with no signals, enabling traders to spot areas of consolidation, continuation, and trend reversal effectively.
