Hi East Pole, It is necessary for the stock to reverse into a column of O's to be considered a pull back. We would really like it to pull back to support for the best risk to reward ratio, but this would depend how high above the support line the stock is currently trading, and what the RS is saying.

Hope that helps.

Later
Preston

Ji EP,
It has to be in O's.
The standard pullback is three boxes but often that isn't enough of a
pullback for a good risk reward. Commonly used it the area of last
resistance that it surpassed, as support. That would be the pullback level.

Example:
"standard" pullback
