Do you mean Single Chart or Multi Chart replay mode?
If you have overlaid studies from other charts you must use 'All Charts In Chartbook'

To determine green and red Renko bricks, you must use the Renko Visual Open/Close Values study to get their open and close prices, instead of column B and column E prices.
Also, the current Renko bar doesn't use Renko open and close prices, it uses Columns B and E prices.
So the formula to determine green and red Renko bricks must use a combination of references:
=IF(ROW()=3,UseColumnBColumnE,UseRenkoOpenClose)

Here is the formula to use for non-Renko:
Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Formula that Matches the Coloring of Up and Down Price Bars
Edit it for Renko bars by referencing the Renko Visual Open/Close Values study instead of B and E columns.
Then combine them in one formula. (It will be a long formula).

Another note about overlaid studies in an autotrader:
There will sometimes be occasions where the entry signal disappears after an entry, or it appears late and you miss an entry. There is no solution to this anomaly regardless of the settings in the Study/Price Overlay study.
