Run Demo

uv run python examples/njit_market_making_demo.py \
  --events-npz data/demo_events.npz \
  --tick-size 0.0001 \
  --lot-size 0.1

With a fast equity curve:

uv run python examples/njit_market_making_demo.py \
  --events-npz data/demo_events.npz \
  --tick-size 0.0001 \
  --lot-size 0.1 \
  --equity-svg results/equity.svg
