Educational reference. Measured from 103 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 5 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 9.7% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 70.9%, and below 20 for 19.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 9.7% | 10 | 5 | 10 min | 50 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 70.9% | 73 | 12 | 50 min | 190 min | |
| Below 20 | 19.4% | 20 | 7 | 10 min | 100 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 5 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 50. 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.
