Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 13 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 17.4% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 64.5%, and below 20 for 18.1%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 17.4% | 24 | 13 | 10 min | 40 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 64.5% | 89 | 24 | 25 min | 210 min | |
| Below 20 | 18.1% | 25 | 12 | 10 min | 70 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 13 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 40. 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.
