Educational reference. Measured from 276 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Monday, September 14, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 13 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 17.8% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 57.6%, and below 20 for 24.6%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 17.8% | 49 | 13 | 15 min | 70 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 57.6% | 159 | 45 | 10 min | 100 min | |
| Below 20 | 24.6% | 68 | 34 | 5 min | 40 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 13 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 70. 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.
