I get asked about partner codes constantly. 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 won't affect it.
Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. That's all it does.
How much bonus do you receive?
A $1,000 deposit gets you $200.
$2,000 gets you $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.
UK traders funding in pounds start at £160 on £800. Top tier reaches £11,200.
Account minimum is $100. Bonus requires $1,000 minimum.
Finding the partner code field
During registration. Once you've filled in your phone number, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click the arrow. The field expands. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.
Sometimes it shows as invalid, don't worry. Complete your registration. Contact support before funding. Request partner code 128979 be added. more info Standard practice for them.
The bonus has conditions
A trading volume condition applies.
Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. $200 bonus requires 2,000,000 units of trading volume. Can take time with smaller position sizes. Regular trading gets you there sooner than you'd expect.
Your own money stays yours. Take it out anytime. Only the bonus has the restriction.
Worth mentioning: while the bonus is locked, it still counts toward 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.
