[amibroker] When does the bar close?

If I use an hourly chart with an hourly bar, does the bar close every 
hour at exactly one hour later?

I have noticed that when I use a 6 hour chart the bars do not close 
at exactly 6 hours later. Sometimes there may be up to a ten minute 
difference. I have also noticed that if I close AB and reopen it, 
sometimes the new bar is there after the backfill.

I have my base time interval in the database setting set to hourly. 
Would it make a difference if I changed it to 1 minute?

I am trying to duplicate the trades made in the backtest. I know that 
the prices will vary, but I would like to have the trades match as 
close as possible to the time. I use autotrading with a market order 
so the trades are made promptly. 

It is just that some trades are not made because the bar doesn't 
close for several minutes after my trading period has closed.

Thanks,
Tom
