| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 15.2% | 31 | 11 | 10 min | 35 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 60.3% | 123 | 30 | 12 min | 95 min | |
| Below 20 | 24.5% | 50 | 19 | 10 min | 55 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 11 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 35. 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.
