The answer is simple: because it would be contradicory to 
"ActivateStopsImmediatelly" = TRUE that you have set.

By setting "ActivateStopsImmediatelly" = TRUE you just exactly instruct AB that 
if current's bar High-Low range triggers stop it should be executed.

If you set it to FALSE - then it won't do that. In that case it will exit
on NEXT bar (based on previous H-L).

There is no postdictive error here. And it does NOT lead to more profits
- it always leads to less profit (as it assumes worst case that low actually triggers stop).
