# Quantify Crypto Trend Time Frames | Name | Candlestick | Minutes | Hours | Days | | -------- | ---------------- | ------- | ----- | -------- | | Spot | 5 | 2500 | 41.67 | 1.736111 | | Short | 15 | 7500 | 125 | 5.208333 | | Medium | 30 | 15000 | 250 | 10.41667 | | Critical | 60 | 30000 | 500 | 20.83333 | | Long | 120 | 60000 | 1000 | 41.66667 | | Mean | Average of above | 60000 | 1000 | 41.66667 | 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
