Thanks @ankarlie for commenting.

Yes, I have been really busy. Lots of changes in my business and life right now. I have still be trading on the Bitshares DEX and doing really well.

I think there are some good tutorials on Bitshares here on Steemit and Youtube. I did a lot of reading, watching and experimenting when I first started.

Once you sign up for a Bitshares wallet or account, you can use that credential to login using the Bitshares app or OpenLedger. I use the wallet model because it is a little more secure, but you have to make sure that you securely save your downloaded "key" and memorize your password. Without those, you don't have access. Just like if you loose the private key or seed to your Bitcoin wallet.

Once you have an account, you have to transfer some crypto into Bitshares. You can do this with OpenLedger and deposit Bitcoin or Litecoin (and a few others) into Bitshares. You can also use a service like Blocktrades to convert Steem Backed Dollars into Bitshares and then have it sent to your Bitshares account.

Here's a post where I show how I did that: https://steemit.com/bitshares/@matthewdavid/just-bought-my-first-bitshares-using-blocktrades

Hope that helps!
