Trouble Understanding Alert Result - Results not on Latest Trading Day

I have setup an alert condition which I am using to scan a Watchlist of Symbols. The Scan finds Symbols that close, within 15% from the high of the last days trading on a Daily bar.

For some reason, the scan brings up results based on the previous days close (i.e. N-1) rather than the last trading days close (N). i.e. the 8th which is Thursday instead of the 9th which is Friday.

Alert condition: C>=H-((H-L)*0.15)
I have Alert Only Once Per Bar, Evaluate on Bar Close and Reset Alert Condition On new Bar all Selected in Chart Settings-->Alerts Tab

See image to make more sense.

Thanks for your help.
