Trending tools and pool alerts are not the same thing
NTM.ai's tools page positions Telegram tooling around listings, trending, community ranking, and token visibility.
That can help projects that want promotional surfaces. If your immediate problem is accurate buy posts for one exact market, baes scan is a simpler test focused on supported chains, DEX routes, direct pool setup, and Telegram topic routing.
Try baes scan for the exact market
Invite @BAESBuyBot, give it permission to post, and run:
/watch
The guided flow asks for chain, token contract, and first-mint block. For direct setup:
/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> all
/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> uniswap v4 all
If the pool is already known:
/pool
/pool base 0xPoolAddress 0xTargetToken
For Uniswap v4 pool IDs:
/pool base 0xV4PoolId 0xTargetToken <firstMintBlock>
What to compare
Do not compare only the first alert. Compare the saved market:
/pools
/settings
/topic here
If /pools shows the route buyers actually use, then tune minimum buy size, media, and topic routing. If the saved market is wrong, fix that before judging the feed.
When this works best
Use this path when the group has a concrete market to verify. The strongest trending tools versus group alerts starts from public details the moderator can paste into Telegram: chain, token contract, first-mint block, DEX route, pool address when known, and the topic where alerts should land. That keeps the setup grounded in the market buyers actually use instead of a ticker, screenshot, or vague chart title.
It also helps when a token has more than one pool. A community might talk about the token as if there is only one market, while the chain has an old pair, a newer concentrated-liquidity pool, and a separate route the launch team actually wants to promote. In that situation, the clean setup is not the broadest setup. It is the setup that matches the pinned chart and the route admins expect to see in every alert.
What can still block alerts
The common trap is mixing listing visibility with live pool monitoring. Check that before declaring the bot broken. A Telegram group can also block posts through topic permissions, missing admin rights, or a media setting that Telegram refuses to send. Those issues are easier to solve after the saved market is correct.
If your chain or DEX is not listed, message @mrtdlgc on Twitter/X or Telegram with the chain, DEX, token address, first-mint block, pool address if available, and the Telegram group where alerts should post. Specific market details make setup help much faster than a broad request for a buybot.
For launch teams, the useful habit is to save the market in Telegram while the chart link is still fresh. That gives moderators one thing to verify, one topic to watch, and one setup to explain when buyers ask why an alert did or did not appear.
Summary
baes scan is an NTM BuyTools buybot alternative when the goal is exact Telegram pool alerts rather than a broader trending/listing package. Start with /watch, use /pool for known markets, and confirm with /pools.
