Educational reference. Measured from 138 recorded 10m bars of MES (Micro E mini S&P 500) on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 9 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 19.6% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 50.0%, and below 20 for 30.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 19.6% | 27 | 9 | 10 min | 140 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 50.0% | 69 | 24 | 20 min | 80 min | |
| Below 20 | 30.4% | 42 | 14 | 25 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 9 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 140. 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.
