Educational reference. Measured from 102 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, October 2, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 9 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 40 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 31.4% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 63.7%, and below 20 for 4.9%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 31.4% | 32 | 9 | 40 min | 80 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 63.7% | 65 | 13 | 30 min | 250 min | |
| Below 20 | 4.9% | 5 | 4 | 10 min | 20 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 9 times, with a median stay of 40 minutes and a longest of 80. 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.
