Yes it works well. You can get data from nest but no backfill but it is now enabled for truedata as well as many other sources. plz check. yes its free.
But this thread is about orderman so don't want to disturb the flow of this thread. so please put your questions to arthachitra support. Hope it helps.

Hi TB,
thanks for the reply.
I always install all my trading applications (like Nest, Ami) in D drive and hence I never had to run them as Admin.
I am able to fetch data using RTD application.
But when I open OrderMan, it is unable to detect 'Order Type' in the header. Though it is able to open Order Book from menu.
I am attaching the screenshot of my Nest Trader: http://imgur.com/a/NbJyd
Also, I am attaching Nest.ahk.

Dear TracerBullet,
I guess I have figured out why OM is not working for me.
Most probably, the __ExternalHeaderLib.ahk file is not able to read column headers in my PC. This is just my guess.
Do we need to have some software installed in our PC for __ExternalHeaderLib.ahk to work? Some form of VC++ or something else?
Thanks,
Sunil Manohar

Strange since it worked earlier for you.
Its a external library i took from somewhere to reader search grid headers. I have no understanding of how it works internally, it uses some windows functions which is documented in the file itself.
1) You can try to debug it and/or understand the functions that it uses
2) Or you can bypass it and hardcode the columns positions. Look at Orderbook.ahk. _readColumnHeaders() and _extractColumnIndices(). These two functions setup data in _completedOrdersColumnIndex and _openOrdersColumnIndex which is then used in readOpenOrders() and readCompletedOrders(). You can comment out the header part and directly hardcode the indices in read functions
So for example, instead of
you can use
If 1st column is OrderType in Nest
This has to be done for both readOpenOrders() and readCompletedOrders()

HI TracerBullet,
Now I am pretty sure that __ExternalHeaderLib.ahk is not working properly in my PC.
These are the things I did:
1) When I run OrderMan.ahk by double clicking it, it says 'Order Type' not found. So, clearly it is not able to read Column Headers.
2) If I open OrderMan.ahk in SciTe and then run from there, it again says 'Order Type' is not found.
3) But then, there is another great ahk script editor called 'AHK Studio' built very similar to Visual Studio. If you have not used it, use it. Its great for AHK.
Anyway, when I open OrderMan.ahk with AHK Studio and run from there, it runs perfectly. So, it is able to read Column Headers from AHK Studio.
----------------------------------
Just to confirm whether the problem is with reading Column Headers or not, I created a very small script myself for testing purpose. Here's the script:
This little program also shows same behavior.
It is not able to read Column Headers if I run it by double clicking.
But if I run by first opening with AHK Studio, it runs perfectly and detects Column Headers.
By the way, it is not able to run even if I compile it and create an .exe file.
I am really confused

1) In your small script, add below to set Include Directory path and then make sure to enter path relative to Orderman.ahk in include statment
Code:
#Include %A_ScriptDir%batch file contents ( already there )
Code:
START ./../AHK/AutoHotkey.exe OrderMan.ahk
