AvaTrade Partner Code 128979: What It Really Does
Every few weeks someone asks me about partner codes. Always the same thing: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
Short answer: no. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's the cost. A partner code doesn't change that.
The code 128979 activates the bonus program. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. That's all it does.
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. Most people won't hit that.
UK accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. Goes to £11,200 at the top.
Minimum to open an account is $100. Minimum for any bonus is $1,000.
Finding the partner code field
When you're signing up. Below the phone field, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click it. A text box appears. Type **128979**.
Easy to miss since it's collapsed by default.
If you see an error, it's fine. Go ahead and register anyway. Contact support before funding. Tell them you want 128979 applied. They handle this regularly.
Bonus withdrawal conditions
A trading volume condition applies.
About 10,000 units for every dollar of bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. Takes a while if you trade small. Regular trading gets you there sooner than you'd expect.
Your deposit is yours. Withdraw it whenever you want. Only the bonus has the restriction.
Worth mentioning: locked bonus funds still contribute to your margin. This lets you take bigger positions. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
