What happens if the market opens lower than my stop loss

So yesterday i had a bad day and made bad decisions its a long story. I basically was gambling on CFD yesterday because i was not in a great mood (not because of the stocks but family drama) , and when i calmed down I went to sell to accept my losses and move on for the next day learning the dangerous lesson on cfd trading while not of sound mind. But the market was closed.

Anyway as you can see i invested in this and my stop loss is 2.9, but current price is 2.4 so what happens i can still remove £17 from my cfd but will my account go into negative? There might not be enough funds when the market opens up unless it shoots up, but frankly i dont want to be involved anymore

If you want to know why ill try to make it short but yesterday i invested in Robo.AI around the $4 mark and it shot up to 4.6 then went down and i didn’t sell and was in the middle of a big argument with my dad and i panicked and sold at a loss because this shit volatile asf and it proceeded to go up to $8 and i lost £60 when i could made probably like £160 if i held on. Anyway still having issues at home and pissed I wanted to buy this QUCY stock as people were saying it will defo hit 3.2, i didn’t buy because i knew i wasn’t in the right frame of mind and missed out and instead bought when it was falling down because im stupid and wanted to recoup my losses from earlier on in the day, now today it might go up, to be honest it has volatile swings so it probably will but this whole situation brought me back to a brief gambling phase of my life 5 years ago, penny stocks on cfd literally feels like that, so now i don’t even want to make money or lose money i wish i just didn’t do it and im looking to minimise my losses.

So my question is, do i take the £17 cash i have in my cfd move it to my s&s isa and see what happens when the market opens lower and let it all close. What happens if its really low can they take money from my isa account or does my cfd go into negative debt i have to clear?

Or do i just grow some balls, accept i fucked up yesterday, top up my cfd account and hang in there for the volatile swings and get out for good at minimum losses potentially risking bigger losses if it doesn’t violently bounce up?

Why not invest in both S&P500 and All World

Im only invested into the all world as my safety fund that grows and has the biggest share of my portfolio, but i cant help but always wonder if Im making the right choice choosing it over the S&P.

Is the most logical decision not to just invest in both so that if the s&p outperforms significantly i still get some of the benefits, i know they wont have a huge difference between them.

But whenever i search it up, i always here you know the all world is mostly US anyway so if the US stocks do well then so will all world but if i have 10k in all world it goes up 10% i would gain 1k and the s%p goes up 12% it could’ve been 1.2k does it not make sense to put 5k in both instead and then id get 500 in one and 600 in the other and be better off by £100?

Or do you think its best to just be happy with my choice and continue with the all world because its slightly more diversified and just not be jealous if the s&p does better?

I think its a good selection I put lower weighting on NBIS and Microsoft because I feel more unsure on them, intel is lower because its recently shot up and maybe has a high price I still think it should continue to rise long term though. Netflix is low because i think its a stable, reliable company but wont rise by much but wont drop, uber could shoot up, rddt could as well, Samsung is a bit random to be honest I just think long term its a strong company but maybe i should knock it down to 5%, and the top ones I think are obvious and should be safe long term
