Educational reference. Measured from 71 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500) on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 6 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 10 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 23.9% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 50.7%, and below 20 for 25.4%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 23.9% | 17 | 6 | 10 min | 35 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 50.7% | 36 | 11 | 10 min | 70 min | |
| Below 20 | 25.4% | 18 | 6 | 15 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 6 times, with a median stay of 10 minutes and a longest of 35. 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.
