Scrum Update 3

Charts, connecting to real time price data and rendering real time price data.

Wrestling with React Highcharts API, the default behaviour prevents re-renders of the chart since re-rendering is expensive, so I had to dive into the documentation to fix this. Also, the timestamp from our websockets connection was not of the right units, so I had to apply a linear transformation to get the current time units.
