Willem,
sorry for the delay, the day was not easy.
We may apply DEMA smoothing many times with two main results : The 
amplitude increment and the phase transition to the right.
The cascade phase transition can immitate the impulse of ^NDX changes 
to other markets.
Y=5 is fine for the long term NDX study, Y=8 for DAX, Y=10 for FCHI 
etc.
For indicator builder or AA window use the example

N="^NDX";
O=Foreign(N,"O");H=Foreign(N,"H");L=Foreign(N,"L");C=Foreign(N,"C");
T1=5;R0=RSIA(C,T1)-RSIA((H+L),T1);

t0=50;R0=DEMA(R0,T0);

// Apply cascade smoothing
R1=DEMA(R0,T0);
R2=DEMA(R1,T0);Plot(R2,"",1,8);
R3=DEMA(R2,T0);
R4=DEMA(R3,T0);Plot(R4,"",4,8);
R5=DEMA(R4,T0);
R6=DEMA(R5,T0);Plot(R6,"",7,8);
R7=DEMA(R6,T0);
R8=DEMA(R7,T0);Plot(R8,"",5,8);
R9=DEMA(R8,T0);
R10=DEMA(R9,T0);Plot(R10,"",2,8);
// Select smoothing level
Y=Optimize("Y",10,0,10,1);
R=IIf(Y==0,R0,
IIf(Y==1,R1,
IIf(Y==2,R2,
IIf(Y==3,R3,
IIf(Y==4,R4,
IIf(Y==5,R5,
IIf(Y==6,R6,
IIf(Y==7,R7,
IIf(Y==8,R8,
IIf(Y==9,R9,R10))))))))));
// Select trading bars 
X=Optimize("X",28,5,30,1);
Buy=Cross(0,R);Buy=ExRemSpan(Buy,X);Sell=Ref(Buy,-X);
Plot(R,"",9,8);

to investigate the rhytm of ^NDX affection to other markets.
