Educational reference. Measured from 69 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 2 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 15 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 8.7% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 56.5%, and below 20 for 34.8%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 8.7% | 6 | 2 | 15 min | 25 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 56.5% | 39 | 8 | 15 min | 80 min | |
| Below 20 | 34.8% | 24 | 6 | 12 min | 65 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 2 times, with a median stay of 15 minutes and a longest of 25. 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.
