AIQ software calculates the Trend Score from the values of the MACD, Directional Movement Index, Positive Volume, Volume Accumulation, ADX/ADXR, and On-Balance Volume indicators. The calculation is a black box so there's no disclosure on its formula. I think its results can be modified if you change the parameters to the technical indicators from which it's derived (MACD, DMI, ...). There's a different technical indicator called Chande's Trend Score which is supposed to provide the same analysis of trend strength.
