Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 10 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 26.1% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 54.3%, and below 20 for 19.6%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 26.1% | 36 | 10 | 30 min | 100 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 54.3% | 75 | 20 | 25 min | 120 min | |
| Below 20 | 19.6% | 27 | 11 | 20 min | 80 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 10 times, with a median stay of 30 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.
