I hope this is the right section to ask a rather general question.

My experience is that stock orders are virtually always fulfilled immediately, provided trade is on and the limit price condition is met.

Now, why are shares always available? Surely, the number of shares in a company doesn't fluctuate like the market capitalisation of the company plus those shares are already owned by someone. Since me buying a certain number of shares would require someone else to sell the same number, I don't understand the underlying mechanism, as the number of available shares is limited.  

I'm clearly missing something fundamental. Can anyone switch the light on please? 

Cheers, Frank

    • With Bitcoin aiming for a new ATH, this staking might be the best option to maximum holding
    • Tbh, trading can be frustrating, I keep trying different strategy to perfect my trading skill but all seems to be in vain. Recently, I learnt we can use AI to predict the market to trade, so I decide to start asking AI to analyze when btc is overbought so I can look for short entry but this seems not to work against as most trade I enter end up hitting my SL. I know this is part of the learning process so I don’t risk too much but it hurt to lose fund especially when you are trying your best to make your first positive trade. Sometime, I just feel the market is totally against me and that further discourages me from futures trading. Recently, I got introduced to BTC staking on some platforms like BGBTC on bitget, Babylon chain, Solv protocol, Coredao etc but that doesn’t quench my hunger to understand BTC volatility since I will just stake my btc and earn apr. I want to understand how this volatility works so I can start making something from futures trading rather than just staking to earn apr. Also, I feel staking is for spot traders that intend to hold for a longer period and that doesn’t expose you to the market. I am not like most trader that prioritize profit over knowledge even when that is the final goal.
