A Stock is up 14% but if I were to sell the stocks I am £2 down from my original investment. I know there are fees and exchange rates but this see excessive.

Is this down to fee to buy, fee to sell and exchange rates both ways?

Just FYI its a S&S ISA so have to sell and convert to GBP. I cant just keep in Euros to reinvest.

Im very new but I have 2 stocks both up over 12% and both are coming out as a loss if i were to sell now.

Does this mean if I buy a stock to make any profit that isn't a loss or very small it needs to be a pretty big increase?
