When you say "Open A or Open D", are you talking about the top of the letter? Open how?

Thanks for the help, as I am not understanding what part is open that I should look for.

You're correct Bob. One of the first things to look at is the "d" and the "a". Both letters should be "closed" at the top. If they are "open", meaning the strokes don't come together/overlap, then it's likely to be a bad signature. There are of course other things to look at, but those are the first two usual "giveaways".
