AvaTrade Partner Code 128979: What You Actually Get

People message me about partner codes all the time. Usually the same question: do they give you free trades or discounted spreads?

Short answer: no. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's the cost. A partner code doesn't change that.

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

Bonus amounts?

A $1,000 deposit gets you $200.

Put in $2,000, get $400.

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

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

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

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

The field is hidden

Registration page. Once you've filled in your phone number, look for small text that says "Have a Partner Code?" with an arrow next to it. Click on that text. A text box appears. Type **128979**.

Easy to miss since it's partner code avatrade collapsed by default.

If the system rejects it, don't panic. Go ahead and register anyway. Message your account manager before you deposit. Ask them to add code 128979. Standard practice for them.

There's a catch with the bonus

You need to trade a certain volume.

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. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.

Worth mentioning: locked bonus funds still contribute to your margin. This lets you take bigger positions. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
