  blue market guru (@techtrader33) reported 29 seconds ago

  @CMCMarkets Doesn't go down very often but when it does always seems to be just before US open!

• 
  Archie Sanford (@BookofCrusty) reported 3 minutes ago

  One of the craziest opens in weeks and @CMCMarkets was down again. Traders must be fuming 😤

  @IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone

  @CMCMarkets As somebody who absolutely loves the #Forex market using the CMC platform as a retail day trader, i don't see much support for them from large brokers such as yourselves? When other brokers are funding leveraged accounts, why can't CMC offer a far better & meaningful facility?

  @CMCMarkets web platform keep freezing for me. I have to manually refresh and log in again. I've tried Safari, Chrome, Orion, Firefox on Mac as well as Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Your live support chat doesn't work either. Is there something I can do to keep it from🥶?

  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…

  One Trade From Zero (@DeanThompson777) reported 10 minutes ago

  @CMCMarkets Now able to login to phone app but not web app (both offline for 90 minutes since prior to US market open). Still no (automatic) notifications from CMC Markets to say they have/have not fixed the problem.

  @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...

  @CMCMarkets I'm going to assume at this point that you have no DR or redundancy, and your customer service and staff are unable to communicate externally beyond this one tweet. It's not a good look.

  @mhewson_CMC @CMCMarkets cutting taxes on the rich won’t fix anything

  @CMCMarkets A single tweet pleading patience. Nothing about restitution of accounts that get badly damaged via this blackout

  @MonVCamacho @CMCMarkets I’m having the same issue, login details can’t be recognised. Are you based in the UK?
