Course Description
The Affinity Trader Ichimoku Trading Course is a 2-Day class teaching you the art of trading using a unique trend based technical system called Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. The Ichimoku charting system can be used to trade any instrument such as stocks, commodities, forex, futures and options. It can also be used in all timeframes from short term Intra-day to longer term Swing and Core Trading.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (Pronounced: Ichiii...Mooooo...Kuuuu) was developed by a Japanese newspaper man named Goichi Hosoda. He began developing this system before World War II with the help of numerous students that he hired to run through the optimum formulas and scenarios - analogous to how we would use computer simulated back testing today to test a trading system. The system itself was finally released to the public in 1968, after more than twenty years of testing, when Mr. Hosoda published his book which included the final version of the system (Japanese only).
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo has been used extensively in Asian trading rooms since Hosoda published his book and has been used successfully to trade currencies, commodities, futures, and stocks. Even with such wild popularity in Asia, Ichimoku did not make its appearance in the West until the 1990s and then, due to the utter lack of information in English on how to use it, it was mostly relegated to the category of another "exotic" indicator by the general trading public. Only now, in the early 21st century, are western traders really beginning to understand the power of this unique charting system and Affinity Trading is pleased to be one of the first firms to educate their traders on the art of Ichimoku Trading.
The main power of the system is how it simplifies trading. With the graphical nature of the system, a trader can easily determine if an instrument is trending or in a consolidation pattern. The system powerfully illustrates support and resistance values in a simplified form and is considered an extension of the very popular candlestick charting system. In fact, this system was built on the idea that at “one glance” you should be able to easily determine whether an instrument is in equilibrium (consolidation) or out of equilibrium (trending).
No other indicators are needed with Ichimoku because it offers the complete package. Within the system, there are five main indicators. They are as follows:
Tenkan Sen (red)
Kijun Sen (green)
Chikou Span (light purple)
Senkou A (dark blue)
Senkou B (white)
Using all five of these indicators, a trader can see what has happened in the past, what is currently happening, and what may happen in the future for the instrument that is being analyzed.
