Every few weeks someone asks me about partner codes. Always the same thing: do they give you free trades or discounted spreads?
No. AvaTrade charges zero commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's your trading cost. A partner code won't affect it.
Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. Nothing more complicated than that.
How much do you get?
$1,000 deposit adds $200.
Put in $2,000, get $400.
$5,000 to $9,999 adds $1,000.
Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. Not many traders reach that level.
UK read more accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. Scales up to £11,200 maximum.
You can open an account with $100. Bonus requires $1,000 minimum.
The field is hidden
Registration page. Once you've filled in your phone number, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click the arrow. A field drops down. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.
Sometimes it shows as invalid, don't worry. Go ahead and register anyway. Contact support before funding. Ask them to add code 128979. They handle this regularly.
Bonus withdrawal conditions
A trading volume condition applies.
Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. Slower if you're trading micro lots. Active traders hit it quicker than expected.
The deposit belongs to you. Withdraw it whenever you want. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.
One thing worth knowing: locked bonus funds still contribute to your margin. This lets you take bigger positions. Newer traders benefit from that extra cushion.
