East meets west once again. In May, 1984 Ralph Acampora invited a Japanese technician to speak at the annual symposium. At that conference the CMT Association and the Nippon Technical Analysis Association of Japan decided to create an organization to increase sharing ideas globally. In 1985, a joint conference was held in Tokyo and IFTA was born. The first Chairman was Ralph Acampora and the 1st Vice Chairman was Hiroshi Okamoto. 30 years later East meets West once again and we are honored to have Hiroshi Okamoto present his analysis as technical analysis continues to transcend borders and acts as a universal language for analysts around the world.
