Market properties highest price not working on backtest

[Tulefi]

I have a EA that work son M1 chart for USDJPY. One of the conditions uses Market properties Highest price Candles period to get the highest price for candles 2 to 5. Yet the ea is doing the calculation using candles 3 to 6.
I suspect this is a backtesting issue but keen to know for certain before sending it live.
One option is to use Delay for 1 second but this feature doesn't allow backtesting to work.
Any ideas / suggestions?

It's block 26. I am getting too many trades and compared to my analysis data the EA is often not calcualting this block as it should be.

Remove "once per bar" from the top and place it just above "sell now"
Check what happens and come back

also the spread filter

in any case you should test on M5 or M15 , since you are looking for values like + 19 pips on M1 (M1 candle on usdjpy is worth 3 or 4 pips, very small)

Trading USDJPY. Problem is still happening. Do you know if it is possible to force the EA to wait to do the calcs when say a min of one tick has happened in the current period? That way I can have confidence the EA will use the right data when live.

I don't know, and I don't see the use of it. However your project works fine I don't know where is the problem. This is a test on M15. It's working

Yes I think this is down to the backtesting. Thanks for your help, very generous and appreciated.
