Why do my shares show a loss when their price has gone up

[PTtrader]

I am new to this and am trying to learn the process on the Demo platform. All of the Demo shares I have bought have done well and shown a profit as their prices have gone up but I bought some demo shares in Moderna at 16300 and are now value at 32000 but the profit/loss shows a £15500 loos - I don't understand that is.

any advice would be much appreciated

Hi @PTtrader, 

Are you able to share a screenshot of that demo position with us? It sounds to me like you went short on Moderna.

Thanks,

Jakub

Hi, the minus 1/pt in the entry box bottom left on the chart is saying you hit the sell button (went short)  instead of the buy button.

So right idea just a technical mishap.
