AvaTrade Code 128979: What Actually Happens When You Use It

Every few weeks someone asks me about partner codes. Usually the same question: can you get free trades or lower spreads?

No. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. The spread is the fee. A partner code has no impact on spreads.

Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Bonus money added to your account based on deposit size. That's all it does.

How much bonus do you receive?

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

Deposit $2,000 for $400 bonus.

$5,000-$9,999 earns you $1,000 bonus.

Top tier is $14,000 on deposits over $100,000. That's for serious capital.

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

Minimum to open an account is $100. But you need $1,000 to qualify for bonus.

Finding the partner code field

During registration. Below the phone field, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click the arrow. The field expands. Type **128979**.

Most people miss it because it doesn't look like a proper form field until you click.

If you see an error, it's fine. Go ahead and register anyway. Contact support before funding. Request partner code 128979 be added. Standard practice for them.

The bonus has conditions

A trading volume condition applies.

Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. 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 restriction.

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