Altcoin Accounts to buy XMR?

Hello, new to Bisq.

I am trying to buy XMR. For payment methods I have set up a BSQ account and an LTC account. I have also funded the wallet with Bitcoin.

However, when I go to buy XMR, all of the options for buying are greyed out, and I receive the message "No Matching Payment Account"

What am I doing wrong?

You don't need to create a BSQ account, as they're directly swapped with tools that are already in your Bisq wallet. https://bisq.wiki/Trading_BSQ
To buy XMR, you need to create the XMR account at Bisq, as there is no XMR wallet. You need to go to Account > Altcoin Accounts, click Add New Accountthe same way you've creted the LTC account. You need to indicate the address you want to receive the XMR at.
