[amibroker] non-real simulation?

If you test a system which buys on stop:

Buystop=ref(H,-1);
buy = [buyrules] and cross(H,Buystop);

and gives you nice results try changing to:

Buystop=ref(H,-1);
buy = [buyrules] and H > Buystop;

and you obtain more trades and worse results. I don't understand 
this since once the day is gone I know the cross only happened if we 
had a high above the buystop. In real life the 2 situations are 
identical, the high exceeded the buystop.

from the help:

CROSS(ARRAY1,ARRAY2) Gives a "+1" or true on the day that ARRAY1 
crosses above ARRAY2. Otherwise the result is "0".

What am I missing here, why do we have different results in 
simulation?

do we have a "false" in the CROSS if at the end of the day the close 
is below Buystop???
