Educational reference. Measured from 92 recorded 15m bars of MES (Micro E mini S&P 500) on Tuesday, October 13, 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 38.0% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 55.4%, and below 20 for 6.5%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 38.0% | 35 | 10 | 30 min | 165 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 55.4% | 51 | 14 | 30 min | 240 min | |
| Below 20 | 6.5% | 6 | 4 | 22 min | 30 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 165. 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.
