It's widely accepted that a Dutch gentleman Joseph de La Vega, was the early pioneer of TA alongside Homma Munehisa from Japan who pioneered the Doji (candlestick) method of TA. Ichimoku itself was created by a Japanese newspaper reporter known as Goichi Hosada in the 1950s, he created the technique via market data for a decade to derive his key indicators. It's interesting how history is a good indicator of how price action moves, as well as chart fractal patterns. Fascinating stuff Kind of off-topic - but a lot of people will ignore TA and focus on FA for making investment based decisions. I generally accept this view, but believe TA is important to get the best entry point possible it's mainly a tool, combine the two and you'll greatly increase your financial position and odds as well as better understand the crazy swings we go through periodically. It is the underlying principle, as to why you should hold through market turbulence if you don't understand the technical aspect but are very optimistic at the company's long term plan and leadership.
