This Tool Could Give You an Edge in Subnet Alpha Trading

Travis ‘TAO Templar’ Millot published a walkthrough of the Bittensor Alpha Group (BAG) this week. The video covers what the Discord community offers, what TAOFlute Premium provides at the dashboard layer, and how the new backtester is being used to surface trade signals.

Travis runs the group himself and brings 15 years of data pipeline and trading bot engineering into how it operates. The walkthrough also confirms that pricing is going up at the end of the month, with current members locked into their entry rate.

Inside the BAG Discord

The Discord is built for traders who want signal over noise:

a. No shilling, no spam. Travis enforces a higher discussion bar than most subnet trading groups, which keeps the channel useful day to day.

b. Long-term and short-term strategy channels. Travis posts his own trades with reasoning, and members debate the entries and exits.

c. Premium TAOFlute walkthroughs. Feature usage and dashboard interpretation are discussed inside the group, so members are not figuring out the tooling alone.

d. Weekly live sessions. Real-time discussion of market conditions, active positions, and the week ahead.

e. Members-only trading videos. Additional content not available publicly, including how to read the backtester output.

What TAOFlute Premium Adds

Premium members get four dashboards beyond the free overview:

a. Expanded overview dashboard. Additional columns on the main subnet view that give a sharper read on every subnet at a glance.

b. Market data dashboard. Surfaces signals like the lowest-priced subnet over time and a curated set of subnets that ran with zero emissions for research on how that affects price.

c. News dashboard. Tracks large burns, code commits, subnet owner wallet transfers, and other on-chain activity owners do not always disclose. Useful for catching sales or transfers out of owner wallets before they show up elsewhere.

d. Subnet drilldown dashboard. Per-subnet data covering emissions over time, miner burn, owner wallet activity, GitHub commit volume, Discord activity, X owner activity, and manual burns.

Travis also confirmed in the video that more dashboards exist beyond these four, but he kept the walkthrough short.

The Backtester Is the Standout Feature

The backtester is the feature members are singling out:

a. Tests strategies against all subnets. Confirms whether an approach historically produces profit before live capital goes in.

b. Doubles as a signals interface. Members can check it once or twice a day to see which subnets currently match tested strategies, then run their own research before entering.

c. Strategy library is expanding. Travis built it to validate his own strategies, and more are being added over time.

d. Worth the entry price on its own. One member quoted in the video said the backtesting module alone justifies the Premium price.

Bagbot and Group Help

Two final pieces round out the offering:

a. BAGbot is open source. Travis built it for (Dollar-Cost Averaging) DCA-style subnet ‘$ALPHA’ tokens trading on Bittensor.

b. Setup help inside the group. Members get configuration support and guidance on running it profitably, which is the main reason most members do not just clone the repo and run it themselves.

Subscription Schedule

Two plans are available, with a temporary discount running until the end of the month of June:

a. Monthly plan: $199/mo (regularly $249/month), billed monthly. Includes full Discord access, full TAOFlute Premium access, weekly live sessions, DCA bot access and configuration, and the latest trading strategies.

b. Yearly plan: $1,999/yr (regularly $2,388/year), billed yearly with auto-renewal. Same benefits at a discounted rate.

The monthly price moves to $249 at the end of the month due to limited space. Current members keep their entry rate when prices rise.

Conclusion

BAG is one of the more developed examples of quant tooling in Bittensor. Dashboards, a backtester, an open-source bot, and a curated Discord give traders the stack that mature crypto markets take for granted.

For anyone treating $ALPHA as a position-sizing problem rather than a guess, the group is one of the few places set up for that work. The pricing change at month-end is the practical reason to decide now rather than later.
