Checking Volume Direction

Is there a way you can check the volume direction (long/short) through the data or context? If not, this would be nice for those who want to use that for pre-market trending in concordence with other indicators. If there is a way, would anyone know how to access this information? :) Most sincerely appreciated!

Hello Dustin,
As as far as I know pre and after market data are not available for the algos. You can only use minute data between a day's open and close. Hope that helps.
