Ok, let me be clear about what's happening:

In ->live trading<-, with an Alert that is Evaluate on Close, rather than entering the trade on the next bar it enters two bars later. This is with live data from the Sierra Charts feed.

I have seen this is back testing in simulation.

This is a very simple Alert that requires Evaluate on Close so it does not execute with premature false triggers. It is a very simple CROSSFROMABOVE or CROSSFROMBELOW alert, nothing complex.
