Partner Code 128979 for AvaTrade: What Actually Happens When You Use It

Someone asks me about partner codes every couple of weeks. Usually the same question: do you get discounted fees or free trading?

Nope. AvaTrade has no commission on forex trades. You pay the spread. The spread is the fee. A partner code doesn't change that.

The code 128979 activates the bonus program. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. Nothing more complicated than that.

How much do you get?

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

Put in $2,000, get $400.

Deposits between $5,000 and $9,999 get $1,000.

Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. Not many traders reach that level.

UK traders funding in pounds start at £160 on £800. Scales up to £11,200 maximum.

You can open an account with $100. Bonus requires $1,000 minimum.

The field is hidden

When you're signing up. 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 the arrow. The field expands. Type **128979**.

People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.

If the system rejects it, don't panic. Finish signing up. Message your account manager before you deposit. Ask them to add code 128979. Standard practice for them.

There's a catch with the bonus

A trading volume condition applies.

Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. $200 bonus requires 2,000,000 units click here of trading volume. Takes a while if you trade small. Active traders hit it quicker than expected.

The deposit belongs to you. Access it whenever you need. Only the bonus has the restriction.

Something useful to understand: while the bonus is locked, it still counts toward your margin. You can hold larger positions than your deposit alone would allow. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
