Hello, not sure what exactly this is called, but on ThinkOrSwim, when I add the VolumeAvg study, it shows the volume bars in either RED or GREEN. Assuming this is if there was more buying or selling? Is there anyway to get this in quantconnect?

Hi!
My guess, looking at the screenshot, is that it simply paints the volume bars in the same colors as the candles - i.e. if the price has gone up on that bar, the volume bar is green as well. It would absolutely be possible to replicate that in QC - just check the candle corresponding to the volume and act according to whether it's green, white or red.
Although this is not an unreasonable approximation, it is not always the case that a higher price during a bar means more buying has occurred. Volume does not, by itself, contain any information as to its "direction".
