You can't separate the EC from EUR/USD spot. It doesn't have a life of its own at all so I can't see what sort of discussion you expect to have about it. Sorry to be blunt.

Well, there's plenty of discussions about the ES, YM, ER2 and NQ, so why should this be any different? This is a futures contract, posted in the futures forum; therefore, I assumed the discussion could revolve around the EC futures contract.

As for your comments, the EC does in fact have a life of its own. Every day about 150,000 contracts trade through it. Traders like myself trade the EC and don't touch the spot, so it does appear to have a life of its own.

I apologize for taking time to write up a post about this contract and trying to discuss it. It was purely done to help educate and stimulate discussion on this futures contract that many traders overlook. That's it. As I said, if you want to start a futures vs. forex thread, go for it and I'm sure people will chime in.
