Educational reference. Measured from 71 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Sunday, September 6, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 7 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 5 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 18.3% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 57.7%, and below 20 for 23.9%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 18.3% | 13 | 7 | 5 min | 20 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 57.7% | 41 | 14 | 15 min | 30 min | |
| Below 20 | 23.9% | 17 | 6 | 12 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 7 times, with a median stay of 5 minutes and a longest of 20. 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.
