  @CMCMarkets We suggest that you talk to the account manager. If you get no joy talk to their boss. You would help promote good practice, if you quietly informed the Financial Conduct Authority(FCS). Especially when the provider threatens to or closes your account following your complaint.

  @mhewson_CMC @CMCMarkets The problem is every man and his dog is long DXY and short Cable and EURUSD! It just needs a single data point for a mother of all short-covering rallies...

  @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

  @vdel13 @CMCMarkets This is why you have multiple broker accounts and spread ur $ out. @CMCMarkets is good for at least big 1 outage and several mini outages per qtr. Usually at the worst times

  @CMCMarkets All my saved layouts have gone when using web app. A collection of random chart windows are shown in various time frames? On phone app earlier my saved preset time frames had disappeared. I didn't see any notifications that there were problems?

  Many, 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…
