Educational reference. Measured from 205 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Friday, September 11, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 16 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 12 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 25.4% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 63.4%, and below 20 for 11.2%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 25.4% | 52 | 16 | 12 min | 45 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 63.4% | 130 | 28 | 15 min | 120 min | |
| Below 20 | 11.2% | 23 | 11 | 10 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 16 times, with a median stay of 12 minutes and a longest of 45. 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.
