DislikedOK, well when you said you used a standard formula I didn't know if you meant lots. so it will break it down in to mini lots.
Also, here is a pic. It looks like this should be a short as I understand it.

I use a different broker so my NonLagMA values are a bit different than yours. My short did not trigger where it looks like it should because of the NonLagMA indicator. It is a little sloppy and allows both the Up and Dn value to be populated at the same time while still changing the color. It is implied that the color should be yellow when this happens, but since I do not have the source code I can not tell exactly what is supposed to happen. I can only use the three output values supplied by the Indicator. In order to check for a change in direction I made the following rules.
*********Techie Explanation**********
From Red(down) to Green(up) , a long signal,
-- 1 candle back the NonLagMA Dn value must be Blank
-- 2 candles back the NonLagMA Dn value must be Blank
-- 3 candles back the NonLagMA Dn value must NOT be Blank
This means that the 3rd candle back used to be down or switching color
and the 2nd candle back must be up,
and the 1st candle back must be up.
This gives us 2 confrimed candles.
From Green(up) to Red(down) , a short signal,
-- 1 candle back the NonLagMA Up value must be Blank
-- 2 candles back the NonLagMA Up value must be Blank
-- 3 candles back the NonLagMA Up value must NOT be Blank
This means that the 3rd candle back used to be up or switching color
and the 2nd candle back must be down,
and the 1st candle back must be down.
This gives us 2 confirmed candles.

My Short for that color change occured at your chart time of 19:30. Did yours trigger yet?
If you have the time could you open the data window on your platform then record the NonLagMA, Dn, and Up values for each candle from 3 candles before the color change to 6 candles after. If you can pm me or post them It would help me see if this is actually what is happening.
