Educational reference. Measured from 67 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, September 25, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 10 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 44.8% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 50.7%, and below 20 for 4.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 44.8% | 30 | 10 | 30 min | 105 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 50.7% | 34 | 13 | 30 min | 90 min | |
| Below 20 | 4.5% | 3 | 3 | 15 min | 15 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 30 minutes and a longest of 105. 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.
