Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 10 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 17.4% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 65.2%, and below 20 for 17.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 17.4% | 16 | 10 | 15 min | 45 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 65.2% | 60 | 15 | 45 min | 195 min | |
| Below 20 | 17.4% | 16 | 5 | 30 min | 120 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 15 minutes and a longest of 45. 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.
