Tradingview Backtesting: List of trades lists entry/exit at the open. How do I get it to show the entry/exit at different points?

I am running backtests for my strategy on Tradingview. When I open the list of trades, I notice that all of the market entries and exits are at the open. This doesn't yield the results that I want. I want to enter from the previous day's high and exit at the current day's close. Is there any way to get the list of trades to display an entry onto the previous day's high and an exit at the current day's close? I would like this to happen so I can export the list of trades onto Excel so I can gather data for more backtesting. Thank you.

This is a common misuse of backtesting, many systems have flags that define if you can do intra-bar trading, that means before a bar with Open, High, Low, Close is formed you can execute positions.

This is normally not allowed because in a reay system you don't know what is the high until the bar has closed, and after it closed you may not be able to execute at the high.
