Buy share online

Anyone has trade shares online before? I am new to it, and there is something that caught my eye. How to I interpret the table which is available in the bottom left of table. Example of illustration, price of a share rm 0.8 0.9 1 how many sell quantity, rm1.1 1.2 1.3 how many buy quantity.

besides that, i also dont understand another thing. when clicking stock tracker for a particular share, the graph for the day will appear and on the left wrote something like seller price at rm4.10.... buyer price at rm3.99.

what exactly does it means. someone sell at rm4.10? but if someone sells, then another will buy. so why call it seller price.

Speculation of Share

Last year, I join an investment competition organised by OSK. As it only last for 1 month +, we have to speculate to win, means buy and sell the same share at a day. Example talam rm1.00 sell, 0.95 buy. Keep repeat.

Now, I opened an account in cimb investment bank. Do you think I could do that too? Buy and sell numerous times a day, or there is difference in real life.

Another question is, the graph is quite stable. by every stage. so lets say buy 0.95 sell 1.00. why would anyone willing to sell at 0.95 and make the graph lower, instead of selling at 1.00 where everyone is doing.

Share Transaction

Previously i join osk investment challenge, a competition to see who gains the most. In the game, lets say i put to sell talam at rm1 100 units. so the transaction will be completed when real life someone sold at rm1 at any amount of unit, as long as more than 100 units. if real life only 20 units sold, then in the game only 20 units will be sold.

and now i opening an account in cimb investment bank to play. but the problem is, i am not sure how transaction is made real life. anyone willing to enlighten me?

lets say i and ahmad want to buy talam share at rm1 100 units each. then babu want to sell 200 units at rm1 also. so all our transaction will be done?

or does it require the exact amount. eg i wan buy 50 units at rm1. but ali also must sell at 50 units, no more no less at rm1.

or is like pasar malam, how many ppl want to sell, how many ppl want to buy, they will automatically allocate the right amount to everyone like the first case.
