People message me about partner codes all the time. Always the same thing: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
No. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's the cost. A partner code won't affect it.
Code 128979 unlocks the deposit bonus. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. Nothing more complicated than that.
What's the bonus amount?
$1,000 deposit adds $200.
Put in $2,000, get $400.
Deposits between $5,000 and $9,999 get $1,000.
Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. Not many traders reach that level.
UK traders funding in pounds start at £160 on £800. Top tier reaches £11,200.
Minimum to open an account is $100. But you need $1,000 to qualify for bonus.
The field is hidden
Registration page. Once you've filled in your phone number, look for small text that says "Have a Partner Code?" with an arrow next to it. Click it. The field expands. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.
If you see an error, it's fine. Go ahead and register anyway. Message your account manager before you deposit. Request partner code 128979 be added. Standard practice for them.
There's a catch with the bonus
There's a volume requirement.
About 10,000 units for every dollar of bonus. You'd need to trade 2,000,000 units to unlock a $200 bonus. Can take time with smaller position sizes. Active traders hit it quicker than expected.
Your deposit is yours. Take it out anytime. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.
Worth mentioning: locked bonus funds still contribute to your margin. This lets you take bigger positions. Newer traders benefit from that extra cushion.
