Looks like u are on your own .lots of people loooking but no help. i find that u have to get used to all the errors and hope u are lucky when u make the trade .i guess this really isnt virtual trading really cos it is innacurate and seems to have software issues.Best not to trade to many times cos this increases your chances of losing all your meagre profit on an incorrect price.The problem isnt the spread . it is just very wrong so dont be cofused
happy trading

Good point QM. I also noticed that if i sell a stock during the trading day then buy it back again, the bought price seems inflated, but if you check your transaction history it can show a different buying price (probably a more accurate one). Also your percentage profit/loss may reflect a more accurate picture.
Bottom line is we all play with the same ball.

Deb if you check your transaction history, it will show that you bought them for 365p and not the 420p shown in your portfolio. This happens regularly. Don't know why.

Also a lot of the site appears in German or Dutch??!
And i have the same problem, on the main page it shows that BP shares are on the rise however on my portfolio it says that the shares are going down and that i am making a loss? i also looked at the FTSE report on the BBC and that also said that BP is going up so i dont know where they get their data from!
