Option Volume detail (BOUGHT or SOLD?)

If I cut & paste the options symbol that is obtained by clicking right mouse button under any specific option strike price (for example QQQ PUT strike Price as 310 is QQQ220617P310) into a chart, I can see the Option price move as well as its volume.
But I can't tell the ratio if such majority volume was from BOUGHT or SOLD.

Is there any indicator that differentiates Buy/Sell each volume on such a specific option?
I also tried using the Cumulative Volume indicator someone posted, but is this the one that represents Green color as the volume of BOUGHT and Red as the Volume of SOLD?

If my post is not something off for you, please kindly educate me that I just want to know:
---> Can I have any indicator that is telling volume consists of how much as BOUGHT and SOLD (In other words, investors are getting positions or exiting from their positions?)

Thank you very much.

@Razor_Morozumi is looking for an Order Flow Indicator.
order flow is the mechanism that moves prices up and down. It is the balance or imbalance of buyers and sellers (bids and asks). It’s the onslaught of market sell orders that overwhelm the buy limit orders, or the market buys that overpower the limit order sellers.
As @Razor_Morozumi discovered the ToS platform data feeds do not provide Buy/Sell each volume. So there is no possible Order Flow Indicator.
