Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 6 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 45 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 20.7% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 58.7%, and below 20 for 20.7%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 20.7% | 19 | 6 | 45 min | 90 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 58.7% | 54 | 15 | 45 min | 135 min | |
| Below 20 | 20.7% | 19 | 8 | 22 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 6 times, with a median stay of 45 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.
