# EN.5 A4's rules through twtest (DC Engine)

## READ THIS FIRST
- 7 Oct 12:48 Bangkok, **v2. All four A4 rules FAIL their pre-registered kill bars.** Engine v1.6, chain clock, FULL universe (every v4 coin that printed a sellable $100k: 8,016 coins from PP wash.db, not only $250k survivors), fills in the next block only, pool fee each way, pull = 0, $100 ticket.
- **v1 (11:31) is VOID:** it ran on a tape of coins that later reached $250k (survivor look-ahead, A5).

| Rule | Prereg exit 3x / 48 h, $/day A \| B | T15 exit, $/day A \| B | Beat random entry times (3x) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **BASE-100K** (buy every coin at its first sellable $100k) | -10,733 \| -3,785 (-$72 \| -$23 a trade) | -11,465 \| -12,846 (-$77 a trade) | n/a | the bar |
| E-AN4-1 fast lane (age ≤ 1 h, dip ≤ 0.88, net buy 15 min ≥ 25% of cap) | **-307** \| +216 | +75 \| +178 | 100% \| 100% | **FAIL** (A negative) |
| E-AN4-2 Lane D (age ≥ 1 h, net buy 6 h) | -354 \| -254 | -52 \| -183 | 99% \| 100% | **FAIL** |
| E-AN4-3 v3 (buys 1 h ≥ $250k) | -162 \| +117 | -72 \| +374 | **0% \| 17%** | **FAIL** |
| E-AN4-4 operator record (98 coins, 4 roots) | -433 \| -216 | +83 \| +229 | 0% \| 100% | **FAIL** (and one root makes 51% of the T15 P&L) |

- **One lead, not an edge:** E-AN4-1 with the T15 exit is positive in both halves (+$7.7 \| +$20.1 a trade) and beats random entry times on the same coins 100%. Buying every coin at $100k with T15 loses $77 a trade, so the dip + net-buy timing is doing real work. **But T15 was not its prereg exit.** It needs its own new dc-prereg.md line and forward paper days before it counts.
- **E-AN4-3 overlap with fmmc5 / SW v3 gate:** not computed; the rule failed its bar first.
- **Engine bug fixed (v1.6):** time and end-of-tape exits used the last trade price, any trade. One garbage price made BASE-100K T15 show +$5.5e25 a day in half B. Now a time exit uses the last SELLABLE print ($100+ sell) after entry; with none, no gain is claimed. Receipts reran on v1.6; the A4 verdicts above did not change direction.
- v3 note: E-AN4-3 runs on PP v3hist.db (1,154 v3 and Pons pools with a sellable $100k, 15 Sep to 6 Oct); half A there is 15 to 27 Sep (15 days).
- Cost: 0 credits, $0, research-box about 25 CPU minutes, 1.2 h.
