As 2025 began, SmarTrade reaffirmed its commitment to advancing financial literacy and trading education in the Philippines by expanding its reach both online and offline. 

It announced the launch of an enhanced training program and the recent verification of its social media platforms, assuring aspiring traders access to high-quality learning resources and a trusted community to support their journey. 

SmarTrade said the enhanced curriculum it launched with its globally recognized broker partner ATFX is designed to help learners gain confidence in trading and is in line with its mission to empower Filipinos through free, reliable, and world-class trading education. The program now features an extensive technical analysis series covering market structure, trendlines, support and resistance, candlestick and price patterns, and advanced indicators like RSI and MACD. Analysis sessions on economic indicators, currency demand and supply, and practical trading strategies are also offered.

Along with that initiative, SmarTrade has strengthened its online presence to create a more secure and transparent learning environment. Pointing out that verification is critical to the protection of users from misinformation, scams and fake accounts, it announced that its Facebook pages, SmarTrade PH and SmarTrade Community-Middle East, along with its Instagram account (@smartradeph), are now verified. 

SmarTrade marked the new year by hosting an in-house seminar in its Makati City office, showcasing the advanced learning courses and specialized strategies for forex and CFD trading fundamentals. The seminar included hands-on exercises and in-depth discussions on market trends and trading tools. 

“Filipinos today are more eager than ever to take charge of their financial futures. We’ve designed our programs to guide participants, no matter where they are in their trading journey, toward confidence and success,” said SmarTrade president and CEO Joyce Mayo.

She added: “The verification badge on our social media pages emphasizes our commitment to creating a trustworthy space for users. It helps us connect better with our community and share valuable resources to support them on their financial journey.” 

With online learning and trading gaining traction, social media has become a powerful tool for delivering timely insights, trading tips, and learning opportunities, SmarTrade said. 

It said users must be vigilant against scams and misinformation, and advised its learners to interact only with its verified pages—identifiable by the blue check badge—to ensure authentic engagement with the brand. It added that by securing verification for its social media platforms, SmarTrade guarantees that followers will receive only legitimate updates, educational content, and event announcements. 

Through its verified social media channels, SmarTrade shares educational materials, market insights, and updates on upcoming events, including free learning sessions, whether virtual, in-office, or face-to-face outside the Metro, as well as mentoring opportunities. It said this aligns with its mission to build a financially empowered nation by making reliable financial literacy and trading education more accessible.

SmarTrade invites interested parties to join its growing community and take advantage of its free learning sessions and mentoring programs. For details or to register, visit www.smartradeph.com and connect with SmarTrade’s verified Facebook and Instagram pages.
