Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 12 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 20 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 31.2% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 58.7%, and below 20 for 10.1%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 31.2% | 43 | 12 | 20 min | 200 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 58.7% | 81 | 20 | 30 min | 130 min | |
| Below 20 | 10.1% | 14 | 8 | 15 min | 40 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 12 times, with a median stay of 20 minutes and a longest of 200. 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.
