| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 24.1% | 49 | 17 | 10 min | 55 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 63.1% | 128 | 30 | 12 min | 80 min | |
| Below 20 | 12.8% | 26 | 13 | 10 min | 30 min |
The fast line is the unsmoothed version of the same range calculation, so it reaches the extremes far more often than the smoothed %K and leaves them sooner.
Here the reading entered overbought territory 17 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 55. The gap between this page's visit count and the smoothed Stochastics page for the same session is a direct measure of how much the smoothing removes.
