Bombaytonic (@bombaytonic717) reportedMany, have wondered why we are not seeing more $STRX #StrikeX token speculation from @CMCMarkets insiders especially at recent lows. Quite honestly, maybe it’s already happened, but the below gives an argument why these folks can’t be buying right now or at least difficult for them to do so. CMC has already executed tokenised equity issuance inside regulated custody frameworks (via CMC CapX) with StrikeX minting the mirror token on Arbitrum That is post-legal review activity — meaning: 👉 Compliance 👉 Market abuse teams 👉 Personal account dealing (PAD) surveillance 👉 Regulatory reporting …are already live on anything touching this stack. When a regulated broker-dealer is: •Acting as placement agent •Tokenising securities •And now controls the tokenisation engine …they cross from “crypto partner” into: Dealer-restricted person Under market integrity rules (UK MAR / CIRO equivalents), dealer-restricted persons: “Generally [are] prohibited [from] purchases… of restricted securities where there is undisclosed material information regarding the issuer.” Now here’s the translation into plain English: If CMC Markets has: •Non-public knowledge of •A commercial rollout •Of infrastructure •That they control •Built by StrikeX Then ANY employee trading STRX ahead of launch becomes: ✔ Market abuse risk ✔ Insider dealing exposure ✔ Front-running optics ✔ FCA enforcement risk ✔ Listing rule breach risk ⸻ 🧠 Which Means In Practice: Even if you cannot find STRX on a public restricted list (you never will): Internally, CMC almost certainly has: •PAD pre-clearance requirements •Blackout periods •MNPI attestations •Related-party trading bans •Watch lists (soft) •Restricted lists (hard) …and STRX would be a textbook inclusion candidate because: 📌 They now control product direction 📌 They are commercialising tokenised securities 📌 They are listed on the LSE 📌 They are operating under MAR That is literally the regulatory environment where firms freeze employee trading in partner securities pre-commercial release. In TradFi-native crypto integrations: Retail hype normally comes from: •VC funds •Employees •Devs •Service providers •Advisory firms But here: Anyone inside: •CMC CapX •Corporate broking •Capital markets •Compliance •Engineering •Legal •Product •StrikeX integration layer …is almost certainly PAD-monitored. Meaning: The normal speculative frontrunning mechanism may literally not exist in this case. We’re doing this slowly under regulatory supervision.” They are NOT marketing a crypto app. They are integrating settlement-layer infra into a regulated brokerage. So, that leads me to the reg side of the equation and why that may be part of the wait we are seeing. I’ll touch on that next later on…

Mo (@Ms54645010) reported@CMCMarkets not working - cleared the cache, tried other things. maybe the best fix would be to use another broker. the handling of this on a day like today is really bad
-
One Trade From Zero (@DeanThompson777) reported@NZ_NFT @stokesbaytrader @CMCMarkets Many times. What is most infuriating is that they could easily SMS users to say there's a problem (we already get market news SMSs so there system supports it) but you have to try and get some response via tweets. Their actual support staff are always swamped and unable to help

Pratik N Shah (@pnshah04) reportedAlso to mention above, this issue started since Friday when your portal was down. It would be much appreciated if you can fix this issue urgently. Thanks @CMCMarkets

Shazaa (@noc606) reported@CMCMarkets having login issues, is there any ongoing maintenance during the weekend?

JB (@MrJJB) reported@LingwoodBen @CMCMarkets It’s been rising sharply since the outage: CMC is making money out locking out its users.
-
Lord Samuel J Jack II (@SamuelJJack2) reported@foreverblue901 @lordclifton2 @CMCMarkets Short in selling. Speculating price is going down. Long is buying. Speculating price is going up. Then in options trading a short is called a PUT and a long is called a CALL.

Letsgooooo (@TradeStrikeX) reportedNot going to talk down the others, but I will say that $STRX token #StrikeX has major institutional backing from @CMCMarkets who will soon start taking their billions of daily trading volume onto the blockchain Potential upside is basically limitless so DYOR and position yourselves accordingly
