Educational reference. Measured from 68 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, October 2, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 9 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 30 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 33.8% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 64.7%, and below 20 for 1.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 33.8% | 23 | 9 | 30 min | 90 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 64.7% | 44 | 10 | 37 min | 315 min | |
| Below 20 | 1.5% | 1 | 1 | 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 9 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.
