I hope this is the rigt place to ask this queston!  I have read, with much interest, Sir Old Gunny's post about ETF's and how to search and analyze them.  But, I seem to be missing a key piece of information.

In his post, Old Gunny referrs to "GMMA" .   What does this mean?  ......  some kind of moving average?

Also what does the part of ADX does "Prd 13; ave 8 play.   

Is there a glossary somewhere for these terms?

Thanks for your help.

GMMA is just a term that refers to plotting multiple moving averages.

"Exponential Guppy Multiple Moving Avg (GMMA) Long Term: 30-35-40-45-50-60 in Red.  Short Term 3-5-8-10-12-15 in Blue."  means you should plot exponential moving averages on price and make all of the Long Term averages Red and the Short term averages blue.

ADX requires two periods to plot, a DX period (he suggests 13) and an Avg Period (he suggests 8).
