Welcome, DanZeta
First thing you should do is study your plant needs.
Take a look:

Wait for it to grow. Keep it outside. Water it as needed.
Enjoy.

By the way, I don't think the soil in your pot is the best for bonsai.
And...
Some of the leaves are somehow damaged; some brownish, some with dark spots.
Keep a good eye on these issues.

First of all thank you for you replays and advices.
One of the reason i posted the pictures is because today it seems to look a bit worst than yesterday. I think the tree is in a bad shape maybe because it was keept in bad condition during the transport to the location i bought it. It looks pale, arround 40% of the leafs are damaged ( pale and with black spots ) as Clicio noticed, some small branches was dry without any buds ( i removed them, i hope that wasn't wrong ). About the soil and the pot i dont know what to do. About the damaged leafs, should i remove them and leave the healty ones?
Should i leave that branch at the bottom of the tree ? Seems it shouldnt be there...

I see the soil is still wet. Hold back on the watering and let it dry out a little. Otherwise it will root your roots. Mabe that's what's happening.
I see that you have it on a balcony (indoors) just like all my trees. I wold let it ballance a little and repot into proper soil (akadama).
I am growing little trees for bonsai indoor (closed balcony) for 3 years now and all my trees that I had been potted into clasical plant soil had died - even collected material - no exceptions.
You need to pot your bonsai into a very good draining soil, because indoors we do not have so much of a most important part needed for plants - wind.
