Question: How exactly is the buy / sell executed? Is it the same everywhere?

Hey,

I would like to know more about the process of buying and selling stocks, as in what happens after I buy and sell, and when the price is set for what I've bought.

My Account is under Sparkasse (Germany), and the first time I bought stocks, I bought 1200€ of one stock, and paid the next day ~1260€ (excluding commisions of the broker). So when I decide "I want this stock" and right there buy 100 for 1€ each, do I get them for 100€? (Excluding commision fees)

How long till it is registered in my portfolio? What happens if the price of the stock rises or falls after buying untill registered?

Does it matter during what time I buy? (Germany buying U.S. Stocks)

I buy today, have it in portfolio next day, is there a quicker option?

I think that's it for now, thanks for your help!
