[amibroker] can a 15 min bar have a cross(x,y) trigger in the middle of the bar time?

I'm pretty new with AB...so bear with me...please.

I have created some backtesting strategies where I trade the cross of the 15 minute bar as follows:

buy=cross(C, EMA(Close,9)) 

I have noticed that I get these signals at times that do NOT cross the bar period...ie, for a backtest I get a signal at:

12:40 pm
2:27 pm
2:11 pm
3:13 pm

They seem to be in the middle of a 15 min period, not the end of the bar. Is this possible?  Should the close not be the close of the 15 minute bar, aligned on 15 minute periods?  Or am I missing something.

My trading is from EST timezone, so 9:30 is the start period.
