[total account value not the same with profit/loss]

Hello everyone!

I'm new on this platform and on investing in general. I have tried some demo accounts on cfd's before but did not like as I did not understand it and neither took the time to understand but I thought that buying shares and holding on until they apreciate in value  is not that hard.

I have opened an ISA stocks and shares account about 3 days ago, I ve put some money and started to trade. I have opened 3 positions but I have noticed that even though I was in profit with something like 220 pounds overall on those positions the actual overall balance of the account was only about 60 pounds over what I have started with. I mean I was expecting that 3 trades times 10 pounds is 30 pounds plus the quarterly fee for using the platform about 26 pounds or so, and a total of 56 pounds out of the 220 which I was on plus would mean 164 pounds profit. When I'm on minus with the balance the minus is greater than the actual trading while when I'm on plus the actual plus is smaller than it should be. Can anyone explain why is it like that and what am I doing wrong? I just want to buy the shares pay some transactions fees and fees for the platform and then enjoy the rest. Are all the brokers like that? 

Thank you for reading and for your reply!

I haven`t noticed this but have you invested in only LSE companies? or have you invested in foreign companies as they will show in their own currency (e.g. invest in a canadian company the profit shown is in canadian dollars so IG will show that daily currency conversion which can be switched off and you can keep that currency and exchange it when you want).

Morning,

I put in an order for shares in Uber at a certain price 2/3 weeks ago which never got filled. 
When i went to cancel my order for the first week it would tell me the "order action - rejected"
Now when i try to cancel it, it tells me the market isn`t online even though it has a green dot next to the name.

I`ve tried calling IG for the past 2/3 weeks but I can never get through to their support (over 10min on the phone in a queue)

resolved (called the help centre, 1h queue time.
