GMI, a globally recognized forex and CFD broker, has announced the launch of its MERDEKA Live Trading Contest, a special promotion in honor of Indonesia’s Independence Day. Running from July 14 to August 30, 2025, the contest invites Indonesian traders to compete in a live trading environment for the chance to win cash prizes totaling more than $10,000.
Rewarding Trading Performance in Real Market Conditions
Unlike demo contests or random giveaways, the GMI MERDEKA Contest is a skill-based competition that rewards real trading performance. Traders will be ranked based on their profitability throughout the contest period, with adjustments made for deposits, withdrawals, and account equity to ensure a fair and accurate leaderboard.
The contest is open exclusively to verified traders in Indonesia, and participation requires a minimum deposit or internal transfer. Winners must meet a minimum performance threshold to qualify for cash rewards, ensuring that prizes go to the most skilled and consistent participants.
Key Benefits of the MERDEKA Trading Contest:
- Compete for a top prize of $5,000, with rewards for the top 10 participants
- Trade using live accounts on GMI’s trusted platforms (MT4, MT5, GMI Edge)
- Gain recognition in the trading community by securing a leaderboard position
- Enjoy unlimited trading potential — no caps on deposits or trading volume during the contest
A Commitment to Trader Engagement
The MERDEKA Contest is part of GMI’s broader initiative to support trader growth, encourage skill development, and celebrate major national milestones through meaningful promotions. By combining competitive incentives with live-market experience, GMI continues to position itself as a broker that values transparency, performance, and local community engagement.
