Volume Strength based on Up/Dn Vol Ratio For ThinkOrSwim

Apologies if this has been done before, i couldnt find it.

I am looking for a study that puts a label on my chart. What it does is add up the volume candles that are green on the day so far and display that in a label, then do the same for red and display that, then display a ratio green volume/red volume multiple.. ignores true doji candles (open price = close price)

So on the one minute chart it just gives you (a) the volume sum to the current minute of all the green 1 minute candles, (b) volume sum of all the red 1 minute candles and (c) a/b ...

Does that exist or can anyone create?

Many thanks
try this, Up/Dn volume strength. very helpful indicator.
