Bacolod City recently became the latest stop in SmarTrade’s nationwide campaign to boost financial literacy, as it hosted a one-day seminar in collaboration with global online trading platform ATFX. Held at Seda Capitol Central, the event brought together local traders, investors, and financial enthusiasts eager to expand their understanding of global markets.
Leading the seminar was Gab Santos, SmarTrade’s resident market analyst, who guided attendees through the complexities of macroeconomic factors that influence the forex market. With topics ranging from central bank policies and inflation trends to employment data and geopolitical shifts, participants gained practical insights into how these elements affect currency movements.
Santos emphasized the importance of staying informed in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. “Traders need to see the big picture. Understanding economic indicators can drastically improve trading decisions,” he shared. The seminar was designed to equip participants with real-world strategies for analyzing market conditions and making calculated trade entries and exits.

This event is part of SmarTrade’s larger mission to provide accessible, high-quality financial education to Filipinos across the country. President and CEO Joyce Mayo reaffirmed the company’s goal of nurturing a financially empowered community. “We believe that financial education is key to unlocking better futures. That’s why all our seminars and mentorship programs are completely free,” Mayo stated.
The Bacolod leg follows successful sessions in Quezon City and Cebu, with more locations planned in the coming months. SmarTrade’s commitment to grassroots education ensures that even those with no prior trading experience can benefit from expert-led guidance and ongoing support.
Through these seminars, SmarTrade and ATFX hope to foster a generation of confident, well-informed traders who can harness global market opportunities. Whether attendees are new to trading or seeking to refine their strategies, the event provided valuable tools for success.
For those looking to jumpstart or elevate their trading journey, SmarTrade invites everyone to join its free learning sessions and mentorship programs.
