Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 4 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 15.2% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 59.8%, and below 20 for 25.0%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 15.2% | 14 | 4 | 30 min | 135 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 59.8% | 55 | 10 | 60 min | 225 min | |
| Below 20 | 25.0% | 23 | 6 | 22 min | 210 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 4 times, with a median stay of 30 minutes and a longest of 135. 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.
