Entries counts hours that entered the state from a different known state. Run start unknown counts hours in the state whose previous hour was unavailable or before the window; they are not entries. Each horizon then drops entries whose outcome hour has not completed, touches a recording gap, or lacks a recorded price, and skips entries that overlap the previous selected one.
Selected entries, newest first
Up to 20 most recent selected entries per state and horizon, for checking against the state history.

How the outcomes are measured
Read the guide to hourly price and OI states and what followed for worked examples and limits.
States are the ones on the hourly state history: each hourly bucket compared with the one before by price change and price-adjusted open interest change. An entry is an hour in one of the four directional states whose previous hour had a different known state, including below threshold. It is known at that hour's close, so the entry never depends on how long the state later lasted.
The change after k hours is the recorded close k hours later divided by the entry hour's close, minus one. It is measured only when the later hour has completed, every hourly price in between is recorded and positive, and the engine was recording throughout. Excluded entries are counted, never filled from a neighbouring hour, interpolated or replaced with a live quote.
Within one state and horizon, entries are taken in time order: the earliest is kept and any entry that starts before the kept one's later close is skipped, whatever its return. The same hours still feed several states' and horizons' rows, so the rows are not independent of each other. Quantiles interpolate linearly between sorted returns (position q × (n − 1)).
This is a description of a short recorded history of one contract, not a forecast, signal or backtest. A handful of entries over 7 or 30 days says little about other periods, and the states describe what moved, not who traded.
