Your link doesn't provide specific information about the components of your Iron Condor so I don't know what the details of your position are.

Every option position has an immediate loss once established because of the bid/ask spread loss. My guess is that is what you are observing. If you want something more than a guess, edit your question and include the prices at which each of the 4 legs of your Iron Condor were filled at as well as the current bid/ask of those legs.
