Walt. That is false.
And furthermore I am not bickering over proof or validity. (that's another
whole subject that i haven't even touched yet.)
How can one TRADEMARK an abstract idea..??
I accept your offer to educate me. please, what is TD Rebo: an idea? or an
indicator..??
If it is not an indicator that one pays money for then I will admit I was
wrong.
If it is an idea, that please give us one example of it.
Await your reply.
Best
Dan

:The testing and proof of validity is left to the trader.
