Welcome to EurAnalysis
Yes I know it sounds like urinalysis but in a way the purpose of this thread is to do more or less the same thing. The only difference is that instead of urine, we are analyzing the Euro against its most major counterpart; the US Dollar.
I invite all participants to contribute what they know about the EUR/USD as well as any other Euro related currency pairs... and since everything is correlated nowadays, that pretty much includes all currency pairs, commodities and equity indices
However, the main focus should be Euro crosses.
Before I get started with submitting my first post, I want to lay down the ground rules of this thread. I only have a few rules but they will be strictly enforced.
That's it for now but I reserve the right to add more rules as I see fit. If you have any ideas to share about some rules that will keep this thread clean and resourceful for others, please feel free to submit them.
Peace

SOME POSTING GUIDELINES:
I have noticed that at certain times, there was some discussion about certain posts made by certain members wherein text from linked articles was copied and pasted in line with the post. More specifically, the comments were more directed at these members making several such posts in succession and thereby "spamming" the thread.
While I agree that any such successive posts seem somewhat abusive, I cannot agree that they do not meet the requirements or that they violate any current rules or guidelines in this thread.
However, I would like to point out that in the interest of fairness to all, I would prefer to see less successive long postings from any one individual. If you feel a need to make a long post, please allow some time after your post for others to post their views before making another long post. The alternative would be to keep your posts short, or if you have much to say on a variety of topics, then please include them all in one post.
I must stress that these are guidelines and not rules.
I want to encourage everyone to post their views as they see fit and if an external article or news item describes it better than they can, I see no harm in quoting excerpts from any such external links.
One more thing though, which I believe I have made clear in the past and is also a rule.
During peak market hours, especially from Europe open to US close, I would like to see all philosophical, speculative and historical discussions kept to a minimum as this is the time for fundamental/technical analysis and trade calls.

Any trade or analysis related comments made in this thread by myself or any other person should not be interpreted as anything other than a point of view by the respective poster.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all traders or investors. Before deciding to trade the foreign exchange (Forex) markets, you should carefully consider your objectives, financial situation, needs and level of experience. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your funds and therefore, you should not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose.

Yes I know it sounds like urinalysis but in a way the purpose of this thread is to do more or less the same thing. The only difference is that instead of urine, we are analyzing the Euro against its most major counterpart; the US Dollar.

However, the main focus should be Euro crosses.Before I get started with submitting my first post, I want to lay down the ground rules of this thread. I only have a few rules but they will be strictly enforced.
1. During busy market hours, please keep the discussions strictly on issues directly related to trading the Euro and any other instrument which influences (or is influenced by) the Euro. This can be technical analysis of charts and indicators, Fundamental analysis of political and economic factors which directly or indirectly affect the Euro and related instruments, or any other information you wish to exchange with others that you feel will be of help in determining general market sentiment or providing trade ideas. During off-market hours or slow periods, you are free to engage in any discussion that you feel the other thread participants would find of interest including humor and trivia. Just keep it clean please 
2. If you are going to make a bold statement and represent it as fact, please back it up with authoritative references. This could be a chart for a trade call or technical analysis, or a link to a reputable news source or article for fundamental analysis.
3. Vulgarity, personal attacks, mocking, condescending remarks, lecturing, name calling or bullying of any kind for any reason will not be tolerated here. Generally the only acceptable posts are the ones that offer value to other posters and I will determine whether any such posts meet that criteria at my sole discretion. Obviously healthy, respectful and clean debate is always welcome and encouraged.
4. This thread is not a signal service or a trading school. Information and opinions are given freely by the participants for many varying reasons. If you notice that other posters are trading in a way that does not match your own trading style, or you do not agree with the information they post, it is not your place to criticize or try to "re-educate" them unless they have specifically asked you to do so. Everybody has a different style. It is fine to make suggestions to the general audience, but it is not appropriate to single out any one trading method or poster in a condescending manner. There are almost just as many personalities and language barriers in this thread as there are trading methods. As such you never know how your communication may be interpreted. Therefore, when posting anything about trading methods, only state how you do it and not how you believe others should.
5. In the interest of privacy and security for everyone who posts here, divulging your capital balance, profits or losses in any live trading account is very strongly discouraged. It is not wise of you to do so on any public forums. If you want to tell other traders your profits and losses booked to balance, you may use aggregate standard pips (or pipettes), or you may express it as a percentage of your capital. The same applies to floating profits and losses... pips or percentage of capital. Obviously this rule does not apply if you are trading in a demo account as long as you make that fact clear to others while posting your numbers.
6. This thread is not private. Anything you post here is visible by all internet users whether or not they are Forex Factory members. Furthermore, anything you post here will be indexed by search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing etc. If you know the personal identity of another poster in this thread, you must not reveal it in a public post. Doing so is against the rules of this thread as well as very disrespectful towards the poster. It may also put the poster at risk of identity theft. If you have a problem with any poster which results in a conflict, you will bring it to my attention immediately without exception. Failure to abide by this rule is cause for immediate temporary suspension from Forex Factory pending a review by the site administrator. A repeat offence will get you permanently banned.
7. According to the Forex Factory rules, any solicitation to/from posters, whether done via a post on the thread or via private message is prohibited. As such, all posts must not have any links to any commercial websites in which you may have some interests. This includes sites that pay you any commission for referrals. You also agree to abide by all the other rules and regulations of Forex Factory. It you are aware of any poster who is conducting any commercial activity, please contact me via private message and I will personally look into the matter.
Any poster who violates any of the above rules, or ignores any instructions given by the thread starter & moderator (that's me), may be immediately blocked without notice. If I have found reason to issue a fair warning to you, it means you have already gone too far, so it is time for you to listen up and take notice. In extreme cases, I may even recommend to the FF administrators that your account be suspended or permanently banned... Yes, I have that power and I will use it at my discretion
Number of posters currently blocked by me for rule violations: 18
Number of blocked posters currently suspended or permanently banned by FF administrators: 2
That's it for now but I reserve the right to add more rules as I see fit. If you have any ideas to share about some rules that will keep this thread clean and resourceful for others, please feel free to submit them.
Peace
