So I'm just testing out the demo account and completed 3 trades. You can see them here 
and it says Gross P/L £97.61
but when I click on the Accounts tab it shows this
which says I'm down £58.45
Can someone explain what is going on? Not sure I understand it... I'm just messing around because it's the demo account anyway but if someone could tell me where I'm confused that would be cool

Bump...
I've been doing a few more trades and it just seems like there was some delay in the figures updating. Although here is another screenshot of a few more trades and is this level of "com" commission abnormally high?
I mean it's like 50%+ of my profit in some cases. Any help would be much appreciated. How is commission calculated?0 -
No, it's not abnormally high. FX is a mug's game and normal practice is to fleece the mug for every penny they can get out of you.0
