The resulting folders should look like this:

parent-folder/
├── oxyplot/
└── VisualHFT/

  1. Open VisualHFT/VisualHFT.sln in Visual Studio.
  2. Build the solution.
  3. Set VisualHFT as the startup project.
  4. Press F5.
  5. In the Dashboard, select an available provider and a normalised symbol such as BTC/USD.
