Below is a list of events that TradeStation participated in and supported this April:

Miami Film Festival

On April 6, TradeStation presented ‘The Miami Bull Project’ at the 41st annual Miami Film Festival. This documentary showcases the creation of the Miami Bull, an 11-foot, 3,000-pound statue that both honors the city and champions financial technology. The documentary also includes highlights of TradeStation’s work in diversity, equity and financial inclusion.

MDC Film Screening and Student Managed Investment Fund (“SMIF”)

Also in April, TradeStation presented the Miami Bull Project documentary to students and hosted a Q&A at the BIT Center at MDC’s Wolfson Campus.

TradeStation was also proud to give back to the MDC Foundation by donating $1,000 to MDC’s Student Managed Investment Fund. MDC Foundation raises private funds to help the college to change lives, families, communities and the world by providing the opportunity of education. This donation follows last year’s contribution of $50,000 that was given to help prepare students to develop modern investment strategies.

“Our collaboration with TradeStation has been fundamental for our students,” said Nelson Hincapie, Chief Executive Officer of the MDC Foundation. “Thanks to TradeStation’s initial donation of $50,000, the Student Managed Investment Fund is thriving, and our students have real-life experiences.”
