To give an example, the “Short” *QC Trend algorithm* uses 15-minute candlesticks. When using a three period EMA, it would calculate using the trading history of the most recent 45 minutes, performing a calculation based on three 15-minute time periods. The same three period EMA calculation using the “Critical” QC Trend algorithm would use the three most recent one-hour time periods.  Each *QC Trend algorith*m using multiple EMA crossovers periods.   The "Short" *QC Trend algorithm*, has a historic look back period 125 hours when processing the past 11 EMA comparison price points.

Each *QC Trend algorith*m using multiple EMA crossovers periods.

The trend mean score uses a weighted average of the 5 trend time periods in the chart.
