Less earnings than expected

OtiL posted a topic in New to IG Community

Hi everyone First of all, I am new to IG and new to trading. I am curently trading low amounts to learn and it’s been good so far but I have an issue. I may sound dummy for the experencied ones but I’m just trying to understand. I always end up having less money from a closed position than expected. For example I closed a position at P&L £11.60 and I ended up with only £0.84 extra in my funds. Why is this happening? Are these IG’s fees?

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
