How to: Finance Demo Quick‑Start
Launch the finance alpha demo directly from your terminal:

```bash
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MontrealAI/AGI-Alpha-Agent-v0/main/alpha_factory_v1/demos/finance_alpha/deploy_alpha_factory_demo.sh | bash
```

The script pulls the signed demo container, runs a BTC/GLD strategy, prints open
positions and P&L, and exposes the trace‑graph UI at
.

Need a different pair or port? Use environment variables:
`STRATEGY=my_pair PORT_API=8001 TRACE_WS_PORT=9000 bash deploy_alpha_factory_demo.sh`

No GPU → falls back to GGML Llama‑3‑8B‑Q4.
No `OPENAI_API_KEY` → switches to local SBERT + heuristics.
`AF_LLM_CACHE_SIZE` caps in-memory LLM cache entries (default 1024).
`AF_PING_INTERVAL` sets the ping frequency in seconds (default 60, minimum 5).
`AF_DISABLE_PING_AGENT=true` disables the built‑in ping agent.
