Four modes. One bot. Snipe momentum. Build and hold a subnet portfolio. Copy-trade whale wallets. Manually target subnets you believe in. Profits compound automatically back into the portfolio. 128 subnets swept every cycle, zero hands on the keyboard.
How it works:
/trial in any channel — you get an Operator key, free for 14 days. No payment up front./renew to keep it running. Renewals are $29/mo in TAO.@FlowSniper Actual in Discord.
All payments in TAO. All keys, renewals, and support live in Discord — no email-based path.
Month-to-month. No refunds. To stop using FlowSniper, just don't renew.
Every retail trader on Bittensor does one of four things: hunts quick moves, builds a long portfolio, picks favorites to hold, or follows someone they think is smarter. FlowSniper runs all four in parallel — each with its own capital budget, its own wallet, its own live/dry toggle, its own risk rules. Turn on what you want. Turn off what you don't.
Every exit trigger across all four modes — STOP_LOSS, TRAILING_STOP, drift rebalance, mirror logic — documented with parameter defaults, worked examples, and decision tables. Read the Mode Reference →
Realized PnL from any mode can route straight into Sentinel's compound pool and DCA into your portfolio on the next deployment cycle. Your winners fund your holdings. Your holdings fund themselves. Set the percentage, walk away.
Also feeds from Designate exits when cross-mode routing is enabled. Sentinel's own realized PnL has its own compound toggle that works independently. Every route is an explicit percentage — nothing moves without you setting it.
The same scan cycle drives every mode. One sweep, four interpretations. Sniper hunts. Sentinel screens. Designate waits for your orders. Shadow watches your targets.
The stuff you'd expect from a desk, shipped as a terminal tool you run on an 8 GB VPS.
[L] looks up any subnet and tells you exactly which filter rejected it and what its rank would be if admitted.[16] ADMIN → [20] Undo recent change with a single keypress.The same scoring engine drives every mode. Sniper uses the full conviction stack; Sentinel uses the subset that matters for long holds; Shadow ignores signals entirely (it mirrors); Designate lets you override.
/renew./renewStraight answers. If your question isn't here, jump in the Discord — we reply.
No. FlowSniper is self-hosted software that runs on your own VPS or machine. Your wallet keys stay on your hardware — they never leave it, never get transmitted to us, never touch Anthropic, never touch a third-party server. We literally don't have the ability to see or move your funds. The bot signs transactions locally using your local Bittensor wallet files.
One catch: you are responsible for your VPS security. Use strong passwords, disable root login, keep your system patched. The bot can't protect you from a compromised host.
Installation: if you're comfortable in a Linux terminal and can copy-paste commands, you're fine. Install is one curl command — we wrote it to do the heavy lifting. No Python knowledge needed to install, configure, or operate.
Daily operation: zero code. Everything is a numbered menu in a terminal UI. If you can read and press number keys, you can run FlowSniper.
If you're new to Linux: the install docs walk through every step with explanations. Most operators are running by the end of their first hour.
Technically any amount. Practically, we suggest 1–2τ minimum to run the bot meaningfully. Below that, gas and slippage eat too much of your returns and position sizes get rounded down to zero.
Sentinel works better with more capital because it diversifies across 5–15 subnets — 5τ+ lets Sentinel actually build a portfolio instead of stubby fractional positions.
Sniper, Designate, and Shadow work fine at smaller sizes. Start dry for a week regardless of capital level.
Open positions are safe. They sit on-chain as staked alpha. When you bring the VPS back, FlowSniper reads the chain, reconciles its internal state to match, and picks up where it left off. No trades are lost, no positions are abandoned.
What you miss while offline: new entry opportunities. If a subnet hits Sniper's entry criteria during the downtime, the bot won't act on it. Exits for open positions are also delayed — so a stop-loss can't fire while the bot is off.
Mitigation: enable the bot offline Discord alert. You'll get a ping the moment the heartbeat misses. Most VPS providers have >99.9% uptime; with a decent host this is rarely an issue.
Yes. You can assign each mode its own wallet — Sniper on wallet A, Sentinel on wallet B, Shadow on wallet C, Designate on wallet D. This is useful for accounting (clear per-strategy books), isolation (a Shadow target going wild doesn't touch your core), and tax reporting.
Or run all four modes on a single wallet — simpler, what most operators do on day one.
Configure it in the Arsenal menu. Primary wallet is shared; per-mode wallets are optional overrides.
We don't post return numbers. Anyone who does is either lying or selling you a curve-fit backtest. dTAO is volatile, market conditions rotate, and your risk tier, budget split, and Fire Control decisions dominate outcomes.
What we can say honestly: FlowSniper is a risk-managed system. Stops fire, trails lock in profits, decay scores kill failing setups. The bot is built to survive losing periods so you're still in the game when a good one starts.
Run dry for a week or two. Look at the simulated PnL. That's your best personal estimate. And remember: past performance doesn't predict the future.
FlowSniper is trading software — it's the same legal category as TradingView or any other tool that helps you make trading decisions. In most jurisdictions that's fine for personal use.
Where it gets complicated: cryptocurrency trading itself can be restricted, taxed specifically, or require licensing in some countries. That's on you to check.
If you're in the US/EU/UK/Canada/Australia/most of Asia — operators run FlowSniper without issue. Check your local rules for tax reporting on crypto gains. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.
Re-run the same install command from your Armory. It pulls the latest version, preserves your database, and restarts the service. Updates take under a minute.
The Command Center also shows an update banner when a newer version is available upstream — so you'll always know when to run it.
Sentinel automatically unwinds the position over time, but at a rate that depends on why the subnet dropped out:
Fast unwind (half the tier cooldown — 7 days Aggressive, 15 days Balanced, 30 days Conservative): liquidity issues like pool size below threshold or deregistration risk. These signal "you'll have a harder time getting out later," so the bot moves faster.
Slow unwind (full tier cooldown — 14/30/60 days): quality issues like flow turning negative, mcap ratio out of band, pool volatility too high, or rank-pushed-out by stronger candidates. These signal "thesis is weakening" but a fair-price exit is still possible, so the bot is patient.
Recovery handling: if the subnet returns to the qualified universe before unwind completes, the trim halts and normal Sentinel mechanics resume. You don't get whipsawed in and out.
Override options: promote the position to Designate via Designate → Promote Sentinel (moves it out of Sentinel's domain and applies stop-loss/take-profit), or use [E] in the Sentinel Portfolio Preview to bulk-exit all non-target positions immediately.
Discord webhook fires when a dropout starts and when one recovers — so you don't have to monitor the menu to know what's happening.
TAO only. No credit cards, no Stripe, no PayPal, no fiat. All payments — trial conversion, monthly renewals, Vanguard purchases — are paid in TAO directly.
Renewals happen in Discord. You run /renew or /upgrade, the bot DMs you the renewal address and the TAO amount. You send the payment, paste the txid back, and an admin verifies it on-chain. Your key gets extended by 30 days. Whole flow takes a few minutes.
You must be in our Discord to convert your trial or renew. Join via the link on this page. If you can't be in Discord, FlowSniper isn't the right tool for you — there's no email-based payment path.
No. Your trial key keeps working as your Operator key — same key string, same VPS, same install. When you pay your first month via Discord /upgrade, we flip your key's status server-side and your bot picks up the change on its next heartbeat. Zero downtime, zero reconfiguration.
The same applies to every renewal after that. Pay via /renew, your expiry extends another 30 days, and your bot just keeps running.
No. FlowSniper is month-to-month with no refunds. You're paying TAO for 30 days of bot operation — that period runs to completion regardless.
This is by design. We don't take credit cards, run no subscription, and there's no auto-charge for you to dispute. The 14-day free trial exists specifically so you can evaluate the bot before paying anything. If it isn't working for you, you simply don't renew when the trial ends. Nothing happens, no money changes hands.
Vanguard purchases are also non-refundable — they're lifetime keys, not subscriptions, and they're transferable on the Armory marketplace if you change your mind later.
Just don't renew. There's no subscription to cancel, no card to remove, no email to send. When your current period ends, your bot stops trading and the license deactivates — that's it.
FlowSniper is month-to-month with no refunds. You pay TAO for 30 days of service. If you stop using it mid-month, the remaining days don't get refunded — but you also never owe us anything else.
Your database, config, and open positions stay intact on your VPS. If you want to come back later, run /renew in Discord, pay the TAO, and your bot picks up exactly where it left off.
