Educational reference. Measured from 276 recorded 5m bars of MES (Micro E mini S&P 500) on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
Fast Stochastics %K crossed above 80 20 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 12 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 80 for 31.5% of the time, between 20 and 80 for 54.3%, and below 20 for 14.1%.
| Band | Share of session | Bars | Separate visits | Median visit | Longest visit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 80 | 31.5% | 87 | 20 | 12 min | 70 min | |
| Between 20 and 80 | 54.3% | 150 | 36 | 15 min | 55 min | |
| Below 20 | 14.1% | 39 | 17 | 5 min | 45 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 20 times, with a median stay of 12 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.
