Optical studies of energy and spin structure of charged exciton complexes are reported for a 20 nm wide CdTe/CdMgTe quantum well. The sample is modulation p-type doped and contains resident holes, which give rise to formation of positively charged excitons. The type of resident carriers is inverted by above-barrier illumination to the electrons, which allows a comparative study of positively and negatively charged excitons in the same sample. Polarized photoluminescence and reflectivity spectra are measured at temperatures of 0.4 and 4 K and in external magnetic fields up to 33 T. Emission lines of singlet states of these complexes have opposite signs of circular polarization. The binding energy of the positively charged exciton decreases with growing magnetic field, which is qualitatively different from the behaviour of the negatively charged excitons. In high magnetic fields triplet states become bound both for negatively and positively charged excitons.
