# A1: V2RAMP reduces to one creation-time test (9 Oct 2026, analyst1)
Rule (replaces gate + flagged-out filters of #143, simpler for the feed):
- Trigger: Uniswap-v2 style WETH pair whose FIRST reserve0 (WETH) is exactly 1.000 ETH (rounded to 3 decimals) at the creation sync.
- Entry: buy 0.02-0.1 ETH within 5 s of pair creation (no swap gate, no growth test).
- Exit: sell at pair age 300 s (not later: operator pulls LP at ~602 s). No TP, no stop (trailing, reserve-target and no-progress exits all tested: worse or equal).
Evidence (r6tape v2ev, 17 days, 21 Sep to 7 Oct 15:10 UTC, scripts p2-p6.py in research-box /opt/crew/work/analyst1):
- seed==1.000 ETH: 2,050 pairs (150/day). Entry +5 s, exit 300 s, 0.3% fee each way, 2% pos impact, 3 s lag: mean 2.59 (cap 10x), halves 2.31 / 2.87, 22% total loss, 17 of 17 days mean >1.8 (min 1.80). Entry +3 s 2.62, +10 s 2.58, +20 s 2.44.
- Same seed 1.919 ETH (1,446 pairs): 0.97, no ramp. Seeds 30-90 ETH: 1.0-1.1. Seeds <0.1 ETH: lose. Only exactly 1.000 ETH.
- Growth gate (+0.08 ETH at 23 s) adds nothing now: ungated 2.46 vs gated 2.44 at the same entry time.
- Dip entry never fills (ramp has no dips, 'dips' are pulls). Price already up at entry: top quartile 2.05 vs bottom 2.68, still >1, no skip rule.
- Longest run of consecutive total losses 10 of 2,050; max 4 positions open at once.
Open risk (unchanged): one operator; needs outside-money check (tx.from) and a live v2 PairCreated feed (ppfeeds #133/#144); sells of our size into ~1.5-2 ETH reserve model only.
