Educational reference. Measured from 69 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 3 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 13.0% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 71.0%, and below 20 for 15.9%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 13.0% | 9 | 3 | 30 min | 90 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 71.0% | 49 | 10 | 67 min | 150 min | |
| Below 20 | 15.9% | 11 | 7 | 15 min | 75 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 3 times, with a median stay of 30 minutes and a longest of 90. 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.
