STOXX follows DAX more or less. These two are like ER2 and YM.
No, this is wrong. The DAX follows the DJ Euro Stoxx 50 "tick by tick" so to speak. Look at the DOM. When the DJ Euro Stoxx moves up 1 point (= 1 tick), DAX follows with 2 points (= 4 ticks) (this is average, this relationship lies between 2-6 ticks) 0.1 seconds later. I assume this is due to computer trading.

Another thing I would like to mention is that the DAX has a lot less liquidity. There are usually about 10-20 contracts on each side in the order book while the DJ Euro Stoxx shows 50-200 in the morning/evening and 200-2000 in the noon/afternoon.
