Post From: Order submission delayed from bar closing time

I'm running a spreadsheet for trading study on 30 min bars, set to evaluate only at the end of the bar. Entry is via market order.

What I'm noticing is that there is a delay between the time bar close (say 12:30) and when the order is submitted (often 10 or more seconds later, 12:30:08 in this particular case). I would expect that Sierra would send the order within a second of the time the bar closes (12:30, 1:00, 1:30, etc).

Can you please guide me as to what might be causing these delays? I have the pc clock synched as well as humanly possible. Some of these delays have approached a full minute.

Thank you.
