Sorry, but your post gave the impression that you just wanted to create and sell rather than trade.Well, that's highly pressumptious on your part.

True TA was never meant to predict where prices would be at year's end or on you dog's birthday.Yes most TA is bunk and nothing can predict the market.
so he must have at least copyrighted the name , no ?
The trend line itself does not establish the trend. It simply marks its border.Whereas drawing trend lines is kind of BS, why should connecting all higher lows indicate a certain trend.

I wouldn't think that would be copyrightable, per se.
Trademarkable, possibly(?), but that's a whole different thing. Anyway, it seems he didn't.
There's a lot of misunderstanding about copyright. Copyright actually exists the minute something's written/created. What most people refer to as "copyrighting something" is actually no more than registering the copyright in a central place, so as to have evidence of the existence of copyright as from the date specified in the registration document (and there's no copyright in names and titles).
My guess (but I'm no lawyer) is that the name of a technical indicator wouldn't be trademarkable anyway.
