Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Monday, September 21, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 14 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 43.5% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 48.6%, and below 20 for 8.0%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 43.5% | 60 | 14 | 10 min | 200 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 48.6% | 67 | 19 | 20 min | 150 min | |
| Below 20 | 8.0% | 11 | 4 | 25 min | 50 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 14 times, with a median stay of 10 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.
