Advice for a new trader


RayA

Question

Hi

Need some advice on IG platform .

Bought established shares 2 years ago for a small reliable return in dividends.

Bought around £25k and I’m not overly concerned that they have dropped in value to just under £22 as I don’t intend to sell, however IG P&L is now showing a profit of £280 rather than a loss of 3k.

Can someone with a bit more experience then me explain why this would be .

Thanks

Ray

Hi @RayA,

I noticed that your P&L is showing a profit, which is due to some stocks having incorrect book costs. This can happen when there are corporate actions like stock splits, mergers, or ISIN changes. When these changes occur, the book cost may show as zero, causing the stocks to appear profitable since the book cost isn't updated. To address this issue, you'll need to edit the book cost for those stocks. Once these adjustments are made, your P&L should reflect accurate information. For guidance on how to edit your book cost, please visit this link: https://www.ig.com/uk/help-and-support/investments/share-dealing-and-isas/how-do-i-edit-my-book-cost

If you need help updating the book cost or require further assistance, please feel free to DM me so that I can assist you.

All the best,
AshishIG

    • Scrolling through Bitget's Twitter the other day, a post about a new play-to-earn game called Undeads caught my eye. This MMORPG throws you into a post- apocalyptic world where humans and zombies battle it out for NFT loot! Apparently, you can choose a side, fight, grind, craft, and even trade these unique NFT assets. It all sounds pretty interesting, especially the VR integration they're planning.   Being able to virtually explore this world and interact with other players sounds like a whole new level of gaming. But I gotta know more! What do you guys think about Undeads? Is this the next big play-to-earn title, or is it just another zombie hype machine? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
    • 2024 has brought a resurgence back to the gaming project with interest still building up ahead of the anticipated bullrun. Projects like PIXEL, PORTAL, Heros of MAVIA, SAGA and XAI have all performed exceedingly well commanding an impressive market cap.  With the gaming industry projected to reach a total mcap of $100B by the end of 2024, the current $20.3B market cap indicates their is a lot of potential in a lot of gaming project and with Undeads now preparing for its launch, the project has got a lot of mouth wagging as insider information reveals the project is on another level. Pioneering the first craft-to-Earn, Undeads is one of a kind MMORPG survival game built on the Ethereum blockchain and in-game NFTs. With a great team of expatriate and backing from top industry brands, the project is designed to give gamers a complete different gaming experience while enjoying unprecedented rewards. Undeads is beyond the usual P2E gaming project due to its priorities in revolutionizing how gaming project is perceived by offering unparalleled user experience, security and innovation. Not yet listed on any DEX and CEX, the native token of Undeads $UDS just secured its first listing on Bitget. Looking at the successes of PIXEL, PORTAL, SAGA and other gaming projects that have been listed on the exchange this year, am optimistic UDS might be another gaming token that will explode but I will like to hear your reviews about this project.
