I'm having the exact same problem in my share-trading account. The numbers add up, but there are positions not displaying/missing from my "open positions" list.
PROFIT LIMITS NOT FIRING
in IG Trading Support - Dealing Questions
Posted · Edited by DavidDeadbeat
Are you confusing stop orders and limit orders? A stop order is used when the price is moving against you, a limit order is for when the price is moving your direction.
Another way to think, Stop is stop-loss. Limit is take-profit.
The image wouldn't load on my phone for whatever reason (I'm guessing it's a graph?), so I'm only going by your written description of what has happened. My interpretation of your written description is that you've set a limit instead of stop.
