Open guide → Install a released Windows build, confirm its publisher and channel, launch VisualHFT, and establish a clean Dashboard baseline.
Open guide → What to do in the first ten minutes after installing VisualHFT. How the dashboard is built, how to connect a market connector, how to point each tile at a provider and a symbol, and which plugins are included versus bought separately.
Open guide → Clone the VisualHFT and OxyPlot repositories, build the public solution, and open the Dashboard.
Build the public application, connect market data, inspect its built-in studies, and follow the current extension templates.
Open guide → Configure a connector, select a venue and symbol, verify feed health, operate studies, and shut the system down cleanly.
Open guide → The Infrastructure Monitoring dashboard and the six shipping plugins behind it: feed health, network path quality, remote server counters, exchange latency, operational errors, and order-book event rates. Setup, what each number measures, and how to alert on it.
Open guide → Run controlled GPU, cross-venue, latency, and performance investigations without confusing a display change with a market-data result.
Install and diagnose Core and Pro plugins without confusing Marketplace delivery with the public source-build SDK workflow.
Start from the public market-connector or study template and make the extension discoverable by the host.
Trace the Core and Pro application from plugin delivery through connector, shared market-data, study, trigger, recorder, replay, and Dashboard boundaries.
Trace the open-source market-data path, plugin lifecycle, study results, triggers, and dependency boundaries.
Open guide → Record VisualHFT sessions, verify their stream metadata and finalization, then replay them with controlled routing and timing.
Open guide → Feed captured market data into VisualHFT: the four formats the Replay Engine reads, loading a NASDAQ TotalView-ITCH pcap directory, recording your own sessions, writing a converter for any other source, and what the dashboard shows once the tape is playing.
Interpret common Core and Pro settings, lifecycle states, units, precision, and displayed market-microstructure metrics.
Open guide → Use a repeatable evidence-first workflow for startup, connector, data, plugin, rendering, and replay problems.
Resolve missing OxyPlot projects, undiscovered plugins, and providers that publish no market data.
