Can't trade even though I have assets

Damn alright that makes sense, well thank you for the help

It says the same thing.. I've used other assets to pay fees in the past, how come I can't now?

You can use other assets, but you have to pick what asset you want to pay with ahead of time, and there has to be BTS in the fee pool for that asset. Personally, I think it's generally better (cheaper) to keep some BTS in your account to pay for fees.

I was trying to trade some OL assets and I ended up getting this error message:

itr->get_balance() >= -delta: Insufficient Balance: ted-jones's balance of 0.00548 BTS is less than required 0.14676 BTS

I thought you could use other assets for fees? If I'm wrong here do I try to buy more bts or will my lack of a balance be a problem buying more..? I really don't want to have to buy a few cents worth from outside the DEX. Anyway, thanks!

I'd recommend just buying a couple hundred BTS from one of the markets like:

https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/market/OPEN.BTC_BTS
https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/market/OPEN.STEEM_BTS

You can also buy BTS with BTC via the BlockTrades bridge: https://blocktrades.us
