Hey, can anyone explain why would the FX IMPACT be in a profit when GAIN /LOSE is in Navigate. Could this have something to do with US pre-market opening soon?
When you buy stock which are not in local currency, you are impacted by FX, which you can check on CFD platform. Thus you can see movement in Returns even when market is offline.

Thanks @Vedran 
You’ve made 18p on FX rates between your account in £ and the stock in $.
On the stocks itself, you’re down a value of 15p.
18 (gain) - 15 (loss) = 3p profit.
As Vedran said, you’ll see your investments move slightly during market closes hours due to FX rates changing.

In general it’s clear FX Impact. But if do calculation it doesn’t fit.
For example I bought ETF in USD at 24-Feb 12:00 when exchange rate CZK/USD was 23.93 (Forex)
now exchange rate - 23.65
Diff = ~1.1%
Let’ say +0.15% for fee
I can add some sell/buy difference on Trading212 platform.
But in my profit I see 6% FX Impact that can’t be in any way.
I asked this question from support, but didn’t get clear answer expect of that already described on guide pages.
If you go to the trade history you can find there the exact FX rate applied, something like
It’s followed by the FX fee - which is charged to you in CZK.
Then go to your Cash, and check the Convert option, from USD to CZK:
You can see the FX rate used to “convert” your stock holdings in USD back into CZK today. From these three pieces you should be able to verify the displayed FX Impact next to your holdings.
Intitial Investment in CZK + FX fee in CZK … this is what was spent on day 1 in CZK
(Intitial Investment in CZK + FX fee in CZK) * FX rate CZK/USD on the investment day .. this is what was spent on day 1 in USD
If you multiply this amount by the rate from the Convert tool, say the 22.85930 displayed here, you get the value of initial investment adjusted for the FX movement. The difference should be the FX Impact shown on the platform.
