I have created a very simple strategy as follows:
30 min chart
If the current bid is greater than high of the preceding candle, enter a long position.
My question is, how come the orders are being executed on the bid being higher than the close of the prior candle, rather than the high?
Most appreciated.

A quick addition to my post... the trade execution marked "2" did execute at the break of the prior high, but it is the only instance of that happening that I can find across 30 days of executions. Image attached.
