The fact that breadth comes from a broader and different
base than the index does not necessarily make it irrelevant.
Try running the Oddball on the NDX with NASDAQ ADVQ and
then with NYSE's ADV. You might guess the NYSE breadth is
less relevant to the NDX than the NASDAQ's, and in some
cases it may be, but...look for yourself.

Good luck! I managed to get a few dozen list members to
lobby DTN (circa 1998-99?) about including ADV /DECL data
(which they were already getting) in their feed. I even
got calls from DTN's top tech. It took several years for
them to break out the A/D data. In this case DTN will have
to create the index themselves. Don't hold your breadth.
