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. That's the cost. A partner code won't affect it.
Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. Simple as that.
What's the bonus amount?
$1,000 deposit adds $200.
$2,000 adds $400.
$5,000-$9,999 earns you $1,000 bonus.
Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. Most people won't hit that.
UK traders funding in pounds start at £160 on £800. Top tier reaches £11,200.
You can open an account with $100. Bonus requires $1,000 minimum.
The code field isn't obvious
When you're signing up. After you enter your phone number, you'll see small text reading "Have a Partner Code?". Click the arrow. The field expands. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.
If the system rejects it, don't panic. Finish signing up. Message your account manager before you deposit. Request partner code 128979 be added. Standard practice for them.
Bonus withdrawal conditions
There's a volume requirement.
Around 10,000 units per dollar of bonus. $200 bonus requires 2,000,000 units of trading volume. Can take time with smaller position sizes. Happens faster than you'd think if you're avatrade partner code active.
Your deposit is yours. Take it out anytime. Bonus funds remain locked until volume is met.
One thing worth knowing: the bonus adds to your available margin even when locked. You can hold larger positions than your deposit alone would allow. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
