Nuget package for requesting and converting Dukascopy tick data.
I'm aware of lacking proper documentation. However, using the NuGet is quite simple. The NuGet package expects settings passed from command line arguments above through the LoaderConfig.
Simply put, NuGet package requires config to be passed from calling process. the LoaderConfig class replicates all command line arguments.
