Partner Code 128979 for AvaTrade: What You Actually Get

People message me about partner codes all the time. Usually the same question: can you get free trades or lower spreads?

No. AvaTrade has no commission on forex trades. You pay the spread. The spread is the fee. A partner code has no impact on spreads.

The code 128979 activates the bonus program. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. Nothing more complicated than that.

What's the bonus amount?

Put in $1,000, receive $200 bonus.

Put in $2,000, get $400.

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

Top tier is $14,000 on deposits over $100,000. Most people won't hit that.

UK accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. linkedin avatrade partner code Goes to £11,200 at the top.

You can open an account with $100. But you need $1,000 to qualify for bonus.

Where to enter the code

When you're signing up. Once you've filled in your phone number, you'll see small text reading "Have a Partner Code?". Click on that text. A field drops down. Type **128979**.

Easy to miss since it's collapsed by default.

Sometimes it shows as invalid, don't worry. Complete your registration. Contact support before funding. Request partner code 128979 be added. Standard practice for them.

Bonus withdrawal conditions

There's a volume requirement.

Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. Can take time with smaller position sizes. Regular trading gets you there sooner than you'd expect.

Your deposit is yours. Take it out anytime. Only the bonus has the restriction.

Something useful to understand: the bonus adds to your available margin even when locked. Allows for slightly larger trades. For someone still learning, that buffer can keep you in the game long enough to figure things out.
