I get asked about partner codes constantly. Always the same thing: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
No. AvaTrade has no commission on forex trades. You pay the spread. The spread is the fee. A partner code doesn't change more info that.
Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Bonus money added to your account based on deposit size. That's all it does.
How much bonus do you receive?
A $1,000 deposit gets you $200.
$2,000 gets you $400.
$5,000-$9,999 earns you $1,000 bonus.
Top tier is $14,000 on deposits over $100,000. That's for serious capital.
UK traders funding in pounds start at £160 on £800. Top tier reaches £11,200.
Account minimum is $100. But you need $1,000 to qualify for bonus.
The code field isn't obvious
Registration page. After you enter your phone number, look for small text that says "Have a Partner Code?" with an arrow next to it. Click it. A field drops down. Type **128979**.
Most people miss it because it doesn't look like a proper form field until you click.
If you see an error, it's fine. Go ahead and register anyway. Message your account manager before you deposit. Tell them you want 128979 applied. Standard practice for them.
The bonus has conditions
A trading volume condition applies.
About 10,000 units for every dollar of bonus. $200 bonus requires 2,000,000 units of trading volume. Can take time with smaller position sizes. Regular trading gets you there sooner than you'd expect.
The deposit belongs to you. Take it out anytime. Bonus funds remain locked until volume is met.
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.
