Educational reference. Measured from 228 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Monday, September 7, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 15 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 21.9% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 55.7%, and below 20 for 22.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 21.9% | 50 | 15 | 10 min | 50 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 55.7% | 127 | 31 | 20 min | 85 min | |
| Below 20 | 22.4% | 51 | 15 | 15 min | 35 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 15 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 50. 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.
