OrderMan - Ordering interface for NOW + Amibroker

I am getting following error :-

Nest for each broker can be different. Thread members have tested it on Zerodha/RKSV/SASOnline and TSO. For others, you will have to setup Nest.ahk ( in GUIControls ) for your broker. Nest.ahk is used to override control ids / Menu strings etc in Now.ahk. Use windows Spy to get control ids.

For this error, you will need to setup Menu strings to open orderbook.

class NestControlsClass extends NowControlsClass{

// Titles, Menus - Unique substrings will do
static ORDER_BOOK_MENU := "View Order,Order Book"    // Menu to open Order Book

Is there any instruction file to do necessary changes to make it work. I am not able to understand what to do ? btw I am using Finvasia nest trader
and my Nest trader looks like this :-

Sorry, you need someone with coding experience or atleast some basic ahk experience to do it. i cannot test for all brokers.

This tool works by automating GUI. Nest GUI is not same for all brokers, it can have small differences. For example menu string to open orderbook can be slightly different. All of these differences have to be identified and set in Nest.ahk as an override to Now.ahk. I gave instructions but cannot handhold. Thats why i said need some code experience. If possible, try to use it with NOW as it has same GUI for all.

Yes, if window is detached it gets different id. Will fix it in next release

Tested it getting price from floating mode(via hotkey ),but scrip name is not changing in orderman.

I think some ID not getting detected in floating mode

We only take price/scrip if AB is in front, So in floating mode, if you click on Main AB window and then pick prices it will work, even this only because we use tooltip. It wont take from line etc.

Ill fix this a week or two, should be small work, but for now you have workaround - Click on main AB window and then pick price from floating window. I have tested now, this works for both scrip and price - make sure to keep XY labels always on in AB so that it can pick from Tooltips, it wont pick from line in floating window yet.

Got it working now.

Thanks for this great software

I have a suggestion

look at the user interface of the trading software used by this guy :-

Good, Enjoy. Did you have to change Nest.ahk, ex for Orderbook menu ? if there are some changes, please post it here for reference for others, just copy paste entire Nest.ahk if changed.

You didn't say in particular what you liked in its user interface. If you are Looking for fast Buy Sell orders or Bid/Ask based stuff, it wont happen. That is integrated with the trading platform. We cannot be as nimble as that due to GUI automation.
Anyway, OM has already been a lot of work, most of my needs are done - this is mainly meant for my use and i made it available to others if it helps. Now i am more concerned with trading, So feature additions will be slow and will only add what i need/like - there is still list of things to do, but may or may not do it. Code is open source, anyone is free to work on it and share.

No i didn't have to change any thing .

I previously hadn't changed the sequence of columns in orderbook as described in earlier posts.
when i changed the column sequence and restarted nest it worked perfectly.

what i liked in the video is key placement and order and position window showing simultaneously along with charts. software made by you is perfect and it does what its made for .I saw that video few days ago and couldn't stop myself sharing with you guys

trailing stops with your software is very easy.

your contribution to this forum is outstanding

can't thank you enough.

Hi TB,

I have set Automatic Order = false. However, when I click on 'New', the order pop up remains hidden. How can we bring it on top without manual intervention?

Does it show if you click on NOW window? Sometimes i have seen sub-windows becoming invisible, not sure why it happens, but clicking on NOW window brings them back.
Also, Automatic Order = false is meant for only initial testing. Once comfortable switch to true. I only test it with true and it should be more reliable.
