1. Hawk's Regulatory Status
Hawk Trading Education Pty Limited (ABN 53 651 107 158) is an Australian proprietary company incorporated in Queensland. Hawk does not hold an Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), nor does it operate under an AFS licence held by another entity. Hawk is not a financial adviser, investment manager, fund manager, or financial services provider within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Hawk's primary activities are the provision of systematic trading education to experienced traders, and the licensing of trading signals on a business-to-business basis to regulated Introducing Brokers. These activities are structured and conducted in a manner that Hawk's directors and advisers believe falls outside the financial services licensing regime. However, Hawk makes no representation that this assessment is definitive, and users should form their own view with the benefit of independent legal advice if required.
Hawk's signal licensing activities are conducted exclusively with regulated counterparties — Introducing Brokers that hold appropriate authorisations in their respective jurisdictions. Hawk does not provide signal services directly to retail investors or members of the public in a capacity that would ordinarily require an AFS licence under Australian law.
For further information about Hawk's regulatory position, please refer to our Regulatory Status page, which contains additional detail about Hawk's corporate structure, regulatory classification, and compliance framework.
2. No Personal Financial Advice
Nothing contained on this website, within any course materials, webinars, live trading sessions, community discussions, email communications, video content, written guides, or any other output of Hawk Trading Education constitutes personal financial product advice within the meaning of section 766B of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), or any equivalent provision under the law of any other jurisdiction.
Personal financial product advice is advice that takes into account an individual's personal circumstances — including their financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance — for the purpose of recommending a course of action with respect to a financial product. Hawk does not assess individual circumstances, does not conduct know-your-client assessments for educational programme participants, and does not have regard to the personal circumstances of any individual when producing or delivering its content.
Even where Hawk's educational content describes specific trading approaches, analytical frameworks, or risk management techniques in concrete and detailed terms, such content should not be understood as advice that a particular course of action is appropriate for you personally. The decision to apply any educational content to your own trading activity, and all consequences of that decision, rest entirely with you.
If you require financial product advice that takes into account your personal circumstances, you must seek that advice from a licensed financial adviser holding an appropriate AFS licence or equivalent authorisation in your jurisdiction. Hawk expressly disclaims any liability for trading losses or adverse financial outcomes arising from the application of its educational content to live trading activity.
3. Nature of Educational Content
Hawk Trading Education produces and delivers educational content concerning systematic trading methodology, technical analysis, risk management principles, and market structure. This content is designed for experienced traders seeking to develop a more structured and disciplined approach to CFD trading across multiple instruments and timeframes.
Hawk's curriculum is developed by practitioners with direct experience in systematic trading and draws on methodologies developed and refined through live market operation. Where performance data or analytical results are referenced in educational materials, such references are made for illustrative purposes and in the context of demonstrating methodological concepts. They do not constitute financial product advice or a recommendation to trade.
Educational content produced by Hawk may include descriptions of market behaviour, analytical techniques, trade management approaches, and risk parameters. All such content is presented in an educational context and reflects the analytical perspectives of the relevant content creators. It does not constitute a guarantee of any outcome, nor does it represent the views of any regulated financial services provider.
Hawk's content is not produced with reference to the circumstances of any individual participant. The applicability of any educational concept to your specific trading context will depend on factors including, but not limited to, your broker's execution environment, your account size, your personal risk tolerance, and prevailing market conditions at the time of application. These variables are your responsibility to assess and manage.
4. Signal Licensing Context (B2B Only)
Hawk Trading Education licenses trading signals to regulated Introducing Brokers as a business-to-business service. This licensing activity is conducted under written commercial agreements with counterparties that hold appropriate regulatory authorisations in their respective jurisdictions. The signal licensing service is not provided directly to retail investors, members of the public, or any person who has not entered into a commercial agreement with Hawk as a regulated Introducing Broker.
Signal licensing by Hawk is distinct from financial product advice. Signals represent outputs of a systematic, rule-based methodology and are provided to licensed broker counterparties as commercial data products. The manner in which a licensed broker then deploys such signals — including whether, and in what form, they are made available to the broker's own clients — is entirely the responsibility of that broker and is subject to the broker's own regulatory obligations.
Hawk is not responsible for the manner in which licensed brokers present, describe, or make available signal-derived services to their own client base. Any communication between a licensed broker and its retail clients in connection with signal-related services is the responsibility of that broker and is subject to their applicable regulatory framework.
Prospective Introducing Broker partners seeking information about Hawk's signal licensing programme should contact Hawk directly at contact@hawktradingeducation.com. All commercial enquiries are handled on a confidential basis and subject to execution of appropriate non-disclosure arrangements prior to detailed disclosure.
