First Metro Securities Brokerage Corporation (FirstMetroSec), the stock brokerage arm of the Metrobank Group, continues to fortify its digital ecosystem with the launch of Active Trader. This new, highly responsive interface is designed to empower investors to navigate increasingly dynamic market conditions with speed and precision.
As market participation in the Philippines grows, FirstMetroSec is doubling down on its “technology-first” philosophy. The introduction of Active Trader follows a series of strategic platform upgrades, including Trade from Charts and Historical Portfolio View, all aimed at providing investors with superior visibility and control.
The Active Trader interface serves as an integrated, real-time workspace. By consolidating market data, advanced charting, and execution tools into a single view, it eliminates the friction of switching between tabs during volatile trading sessions.
Key features of the new ecosystem include:
-
Chart-First Layout: Prioritizes price action and liquidity assessment for faster decision-making.
-
Real-Time Integration: Unified workspace for monitoring and execution.
-
Advanced Risk Management: As part of the FirstMetroSec PRO suite, users gain access to conditional order capabilities, allowing for systematic trade planning. “As we begin another year, we remain optimistic about the Philippine stock market. Periods of volatility often create opportunities for disciplined, guided, and well-prepared investors,” said Mhelvin Abajon, President of FirstMetroSec. “Our role is to ensure clients are equipped with reliable, easy-to-use tools that allow them to participate confidently and responsibly.”
The launch of Active Trader is a pivotal step in FirstMetroSec’s broader digital transformation strategy. By refining its platform to match the pace of modern global markets, the brokerage ensures that both casual and professional investors are prepared for emerging opportunities.
“True to our promise, we continue to innovate and refine our platform to keep pace with how today’s investors trade,” Abajon added. “Active Trader is a concrete example of our commitment to digital readiness.”
