The partner code 206997, which carries a 20% discount on trading fees, only works at one point in the process: the registration form. There is no code field on the deposit page and none inside the platform once the account is funded, and the code cannot reliably be added to an existing account. That makes the few minutes before you click through the application the only time you have to get things right. The checklist below covers what to confirm before you register and before you pay in.
Country of residence. AvaTrade onboards clients through different regulated entities, and promotion availability depends on which entity handles you. The broker is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, the FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, the FSA in Japan and the FSCA in South Africa. Leverage caps, negative balance protection and promotion eligibility vary between them.
Regulatory restrictions. Some regulators restrict or prohibit trading incentives for retail clients. If yours does, the discount may not be offered to you regardless of the code you enter.
Existing accounts. If you already hold an AvaTrade account, opening a second one to capture the code is not a workaround — duplicate accounts tend to get closed.
Region-specific terms. Withdrawal and eligibility conditions that apply to your region sit in the promotions terms. Read them before you commit rather than after.
AvaTrade uses spread-only pricing: costs are mostly built into the spread rather than charged as a separate per-trade commission. The 20% discount applies to trading costs that are largely embedded in that spread, so the benefit shows up in your cost per trade rather than as a line item you pay separately.
Two other charges sit outside that picture. Overnight swap fees can apply to positions held past the daily rollover, and an inactivity fee can apply — the exact amount and the dormancy period that triggers it are not stated in the material available, so check them on the site. If you plan to hold positions for long stretches or trade rarely, factor those in before assuming the discount covers your full cost base.
One detail worth verifying yourself: sources disagree on whether AvaTrade offers fixed spreads only or a mix of fixed and variable depending on the market. Confirm the spread type for the instruments you intend to trade.
Identity and proof of address. You will need to upload both. Accepted proof of residency includes a utility bill, bank statement or insurance policy. Verification typically completes within one business day.
Minimum deposit. Live accounts require $100 or the currency equivalent, though the exact minimum and the funding methods available differ by region and currency — check your own account dashboard.
Funding method. Card, bank transfer and e-wallets are available depending on region.
Suitability questions. The application includes mandatory suitability and trading-experience questions. Answer them honestly; they are part of the regulatory process, not an obstacle.
The partner code field is collapsed on the registration form, sitting directly below or beside the phone number field on the personal details screen. You have to expand it to see it, which is where most missed discounts originate. Enter 206997 with no spaces.
The sequence is: start the application on the AvaTrade site or the AvaTradeGO app, enter email, password and country of residence, add your personal and contact details, expand the code field and enter the code, answer the suitability questions, upload documents, then fund once verified.
The linked partner code is usually shown in the account profile or account summary. Look for it there once your account exists. If it is missing, contact your account manager through the platform's contact panel — though whether a code can be applied after registration is uncertain, so treat this as a check rather than a safety net.
A demo account is available. Trying the AvaTradeGO interface, MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or WebTrader before funding costs nothing and tells you whether the platform suits you. An Islamic swap-free account option and tools such as AvaOptions and AvaProtect are also worth reviewing if they are relevant to how you intend to trade.
