Terms of use

Educational material, not advice

Everything on Tasman Coin is general educational material. It is not personal advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell and not an offer to enter a transaction, and it does not take your circumstances into account.

Before acting on anything here, read the broker's own product disclosure material and consider whether the product suits you. If you need personal advice, speak to a licensed adviser.

Changes to these terms are published on this page with a new effective date at the top

We publish changes to these terms by updating this page and showing a new effective date at the top, so the current version is always the one you can read here. We do not send individual notices for every edit, so you should check this page periodically if you rely on it. Material changes, such as a new affiliate disclosure or a change to the governing law, will be described in a short note on the page so you can see what changed and when, rather than having to compare versions line by line.

The terms can change because the facts they describe can change: FxPro may alter its platform lineup, its funding methods, or the leverage cap available to Australian residents, and regulators may update licensing arrangements. When that happens, we revise the affected section rather than leaving stale figures, and we remove any number we can no longer support. For example, if the 1:200 cap or the worked margin of about $385.00 for a 0.10-lot position no longer reflects the broker's terms, we will say what the margin depends on instead of stating a figure.

Continued use of the site after a new effective date means you accept the updated terms, and if you do not agree with a change, you should stop using the site. We keep the page live so that readers can always find the current version, and we do not archive old versions publicly, so if you need a record of the terms as they stood on a particular date, save a copy yourself. Questions about a change can be sent to us, and we will explain the reasoning behind it where we can.

Tasman Coin earns affiliate commissions from FxPro when readers open accounts through its links

Tasman Coin has an affiliate relationship with FxPro, which means we may receive a commission if you click through to FxPro from this site and open a trading account. That payment comes from FxPro, not from you, and it does not increase the costs you pay on your account. The commission arrangement is how the site is funded, and it is disclosed here in full so you can weigh our content knowing that we benefit when readers choose FxPro. It does not change the facts we publish about bitcoin CFDs, margin, leverage or funding.

The affiliate relationship does not give us access to your account, your trades or your personal information, and it does not allow us to influence the prices, spreads or fees FxPro sets. Those costs are determined by FxPro and depend on the instrument, market conditions and the platform you use, so we cannot state them as fixed numbers and do not claim any particular cost level. You should read FxPro's own product disclosure and fee documents before funding, because those documents, not this site, govern your trading relationship.

We aim to describe FxPro's services accurately, including the regulator caveat that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC but does not hold an ASIC licence, so Australian residents deal with an offshore entity. Where we cannot verify a detail, such as a specific spread or minimum deposit, we say what the cost consists of and what it depends on rather than inventing a figure. If you believe an affiliate link has affected the accuracy of our content, tell us, and we will review it.

Tasman Coin publishes bitcoin CFD information for Australian readers, not personal financial advice

Tasman Coin is an information publisher, not a licensed financial adviser, and nothing on this site is personal advice. We explain how bitcoin (BTC/USD) CFDs work, how margin and leverage operate at the 1:200 cap available to Australian residents, and how local funding through PayID or bank transfer is handled, but we do not know your financial situation, goals or tolerance for loss. Any decision to trade is yours alone, and you should treat every figure here, including the worked margin example of about $385.00 for a 0.10-lot position at 1:200, as an illustration rather than a recommendation to act.

The site does not execute trades, hold client money, or act as a broker, so it cannot open an account for you or manage a position on your behalf. All trading takes place with FxPro, using MT4, MT5, cTrader or the FxPro app, and the entity serving Australian residents is FxPro UK Limited. Because FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC and does not hold an ASIC licence, Australian residents deal with an offshore entity, and you should check that structure before funding. Tasman Coin simply describes these arrangements; it does not supervise them.

What the site is not is equally important: it is not a signal service, a managed account, a tax adviser or a legal adviser. We do not tell you when to buy or sell bitcoin, how much to risk, or which leverage setting to choose, and the 1:200 maximum is a cap rather than a target. If you need advice tailored to your circumstances, speak to a licensed professional in Australia. Our role is to give you clear, sober explanations so that any conversation you have with a broker or adviser starts from an informed position.

Tasman Coin's content is general information about bitcoin CFDs, and you must verify broker details before funding

Tasman Coin provides general information about bitcoin (BTC/USD) CFDs, where 1 standard lot equals 1 BTC and one pip equals 1.0, and it is not tailored to any person's objectives, financial situation or needs. The reference price of approximately 77000.0 is an illustration, not a live quote, and the margin example of about $385.00 for a 0.10-lot position at 1:200 shows how the calculation works rather than predicting what your broker will require. Before you fund an account, verify the current margin requirement, costs and leverage cap directly with FxPro, because those details determine your actual risk.

The site describes FxPro's platforms, MT4, MT5, cTrader and the FxPro app, and local funding through PayID or bank transfer, but it does not operate those services and cannot confirm their availability at the moment you sign up. FxPro UK Limited is the entity that serves Australian residents, and the regulator caveat applies: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC, does not hold an ASIC licence, and Australian residents therefore deal with an offshore entity. Check that structure, and read FxPro's product disclosure statement, before you deposit any money.

We do not state spreads, commissions, swaps or minimum deposits as fixed numbers because those costs depend on the instrument, the platform and market conditions, and they can change. Instead, we explain what each cost consists of so you know what to ask about. If a detail on this site conflicts with FxPro's own documents, FxPro's documents prevail for your account. Treat everything here as a starting point for your own research, and never fund an account based on a single source, including this one.

Dated figures and affiliate links

Figures on this site are dated to when they were read and must be verified with the broker before you rely on them. A term can change after the date shown, and the broker's current document is always the authority.

Some links are affiliate links, which means the desk may be paid if you open an account through them. Your relationship is with the broker, not with the desk, and the broker is the only party that can act on an account, a funding question or a withdrawal.

The law of New South Wales, Australia, governs these terms and any dispute about the site

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that state. That means if a dispute about the site cannot be resolved informally, it will be decided under Australian law, even though the broker you trade with, FxPro UK Limited, is an offshore entity licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC rather than ASIC. The governing law applies to your use of Tasman Coin's content, not to your trading account, which is governed by FxPro's own client agreement.

Because the site is published from Australia, we aim to describe products in line with Australian expectations, including the regulator caveat that FxPro does not hold an ASIC licence and Australian residents therefore deal with an offshore entity. That caveat is a factual statement about licensing, not a recommendation for or against FxPro. If you access the site from outside Australia, you are responsible for complying with your local laws, and we make no representation that the content is appropriate or available in every jurisdiction.

Where a dispute arises about these terms, the parties will first attempt to resolve it in good faith by written notice, and if that fails, the courts of New South Wales will have jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause prevents you from bringing a claim in another court if Australian law gives you that right, nor does it limit any mandatory consumer protection that applies to you. The law that applies to your FxPro account is separate and is set out in FxPro's own terms, which you should read before funding.

Tasman Coin's liability is limited to the information it publishes, and trading losses are yours

Tasman Coin is liable for the accuracy of the information it publishes, but not for trading decisions you make after reading it. Bitcoin CFDs are high-risk products, and you can lose more than you deposit if the market moves against you, so any loss on your account is your responsibility and not something the site can compensate. We do not guarantee that any figure, including the worked margin example of about $385.00 for a 0.10-lot position at 1:200, will match the margin your broker requires at the time you trade, because margin depends on the price of bitcoin and the leverage cap in force.

The site is provided on an as-is basis, and we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or complete at all times. Markets move, broker terms change, and the reference price of approximately 77000.0 for BTC/USD is an illustration rather than a live quote. To the extent permitted by law, Tasman Coin excludes liability for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site, including loss of profits or data, and our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to the amount you paid to access it, which is nil.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded, and if a guarantee applies, our liability is limited to resupplying the information or paying the cost of resupply. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of FxPro, including how it executes orders, handles funding through PayID or bank transfer, or applies its own terms. If you have a dispute about your account, raise it with FxPro directly; if you have a dispute about our content, contact us and we will respond.

The risk of bitcoin CFDs

CFDs on bitcoin carry a high risk of loss and most retail accounts lose money. Leverage works in both directions, and a position can lose more quickly than the margin you put up suggests.

Leverage is a cap, not a setting to aim for. At 1:200, a 0.10-lot bitcoin position needs about $385.00 margin, and that figure shows how the cap works rather than how much risk is sensible for any reader.
