BitShares Wallet - Exchange - "buy BTS" easy way
In Bitshares GUI Release v2.0.171121, New Buy Model was mentioned by @billbutler.
This is, in essence, an in-wallet API to the blocktrades.us functionality. It's a particularly easy way to purchase BTS. It removes the complications associated with explaining how to use the exchange.
So, I tried it myself.
BitShares Exchange - Direct Exchange Service
BlockTrades
BlockTrades is a direct exchange service for several currencies. You can simply send in the desired amount of the cryptocurrency you would like to spend, and BlockTrades transfer to your wallet an equivalent amount of the cryptocurrency you are buying. So, you do not need to manage your balance on their website.
BlockTrades market engine will search across many different cryptocurrency exchanges to find the best price for purchasing one cryptocurrency with another one.

This User Guide would be a part of my BitShares Documentation project. I have been adding more new images and information to improve the contents.
I am creating and adding more information contents to support users. And also I am planing to re-design the page layout. So, the look might be changed later.
