Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Monday, September 14, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 8 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 18.1% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 51.4%, and below 20 for 30.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 18.1% | 25 | 8 | 15 min | 100 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 51.4% | 71 | 20 | 20 min | 190 min | |
| Below 20 | 30.4% | 42 | 13 | 20 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 8 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 100. 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.
