**Quick Install - Interactive Menu:**
```bash
# Step 1: Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add quant-sentiment-ai/claude-equity-research

# Step 2: Open the plugin menu
/plugin

# Step 3: Select "Browse Plugins" → find "claude-equity-research" → "Install now"

```

**Start Analyzing:**

If you prefer the bare form, use the [manual install](#manual-installation-advanced) below — it copies the command file into your personal `~/.claude/commands/` and registers it as `/trading-ideas`.
