People message me about partner codes all the time. Usually the same question: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
Short answer: no. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. The spread is the fee. A partner code doesn't touch it.
Code 128979 unlocks the deposit bonus. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. Simple as that.
How much bonus do you receive?
Deposit $1,000 and get $200.
Put in $2,000, get $400.
$5,000-$9,999 earns you $1,000 bonus.
Maximum bonus is $14,000 for deposits above $100,000. Not many traders reach that level.
British traders get £160 bonus on £800 deposits. Scales up to £11,200 maximum.
You can open an account with $100. But you need $1,000 to qualify for bonus.
Finding the partner code field
Registration page. Below the phone field, you'll see small text reading "Have a Partner Code?". Click on that text. The field expands. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's here hidden.
If you see an error, it's fine. Complete your registration. Contact support before funding. Ask them to add code 128979. They do this manually all the time.
Bonus withdrawal conditions
A trading volume condition applies.
About 10,000 units for every 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. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.
Something useful to understand: 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.
