AvaTrade Partner Code 128979: What It Really Does

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.

Code 128979 unlocks the deposit bonus. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. Nothing more complicated than that.

How much bonus do you receive?

$1,000 deposit adds $200.

$2,000 gets you $400.

$5,000 to $9,999 adds $1,000.

Top tier is $14,000 on deposits over $100,000. Not many traders reach that level.

UK traders funding in pounds start at £160 on £800. Goes to £11,200 at the top.

Minimum to open an account is $100. Minimum for any bonus is $1,000.

The field is hidden

Registration page. After you enter 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.

There's a catch with the bonus

There's a volume requirement.

Around 10,000 units per dollar of bonus. You'd need to trade 2,000,000 units to unlock a $200 bonus. Slower if you're trading micro lots. Active traders hit it quicker than expected.

Your own money stays yours. Withdraw it whenever you want. Only the bonus has the here restriction.

Something useful to understand: while the bonus is locked, it still counts toward your margin. This lets you take bigger positions. For someone still learning, that buffer can keep you in the game long enough to figure things out.
