Some Pull Backs are shown with solid colour whilst some are hollow - Why ?

When a Pull Back is first triggered it is always 'Hollow'. i.e. a Potential signal.
If prices then move higher on a 'Long' signal then then Pull Back is drawn with a solid colour to indicate that the trade may have been taken i.e. 'Qualified'.

If a signal remains 'Hollow' then it is unlikely that the trade will have taken so no losses involved.
If a signal becomes 'Solid' then it can be established if a profit or loss was likely.

The criteria for a 'Qualified' Pull Back to the Long Side is:
Price trades through a Trigger Point above the bar with the Pull Back Signal.
Price trades through the Trigger Point within 5 bars.
The Trigger Point is 50% of the 10 bar average trading range above the current bar.
