# A2-FAST-LADDER-2M forward paper test (Test Manager) - 13 Oct 00:20 UTC
Hunt: v3 second-leg runners, enter after the 2M cross (1M->2M gap 5-60 min), cap ~2M, target 5x (10M). Rule: fw/a2-iter41.md (#696).
Entry first print >=45 s after the cross +7% slip; stop 0.5x; tp 5x with 2-print confirm; 24 h hold.
- Replay on ladder.db tape 6-10 Oct (in-sample, analyst2 got 1.86 n=70): n 71 closed, mean 2.06x, median 0.50x, win 25, tp 25, stop 46, time 0
- FORWARD only (2M cross from 10 Oct 00:00 UTC): 0 events, n 0 closed
- Skipped: {'gap<300': 10, 'gap>=3600': 37, 'no 1M': 121, 'no entry print yet': 0}
- Kill: after 40 forward closed trades mean < 1.0. Limits: mark-to-print, no sell-depth model beyond real prints. Only Ben switches live (D-030).
