HitBTC trading balance at zero? Why?

[photonfanatic]

So I just funded my HitBTC account, so I can trade on the exchange. I see that my bitcoin is there. It shows at the top. So i go to buy into an alt, and no matter what I do, it always says "Insufficient funds". I also noticed that while it does show how much bitcoin I have at the top, (and the dollar value) it also has something next to it that says "Trading balance". Which is at 0. Does that mean anything? Does that have anything to do with it always saying "insufficient funds" whenever I try to buy something? I checked again and again, and tried all kinds of different things trying to buy something. Can't do it. Any ideas?

Nevermind, the trollbox helped. A mod can delete this thread hopefully. Every exchange has to have some kind of unuserfriendly, unintuitive crap you have to get through before you can figure out how to actually trade.

Did it had somethig to do with transfering the deposit balance to the trade balance?
