Remove all overfit strategies from Meta ML. If you're serious about making 2025 the year you dominate, it’s time to get rid of any clutter in your portfolio.

At best overfit strategies reduce the efficiency of your meta. It gives extra options for the Meta to choose that are NOT optimal.

But at worst?

They can really take you down.

That’s because when the markets take a downturn and it’s time to buy the dip.. It’s like your Meta turns into an unattended five year old… and overfit strategies look like big ol’ candy bars.

The Meta gravitates to these, and what could be a huge profit opportunity is wasted on inferior strategies.

Luckily the solution is simple as pie.

Cut 'em. Strip them out and streamline. We’ve got a free tool – the Minesweeper – that helps you root out the bad actors.

Run all your strategies through the minesweeper at least once a year.

See a bad strategy? Cut it.

Keep it simple. Keep it profitable. Simplify now, profit later.

As soon as you’re done reading this, use the free Minesweeper test. Don’t wait. It's time to clear the deck and make space for real growth.

Here’s a sure sign of a bad strategy that you can see with your naked eyes. Before you even load ‘em into the Minesweeper.

Look for strategies with a lot of rules, complex rules – if it’s a ton of code, it’s a problem.

Keep it simple. Keep it profitable. Simplify now, profit later.

Reduce or Eliminate Leveraged ETFs for Better Results

Here’s the deal. In the past, we’ve used leveraged ETFs in our Meta ML strategy basket. And sure, the Meta MLs still put up impressive numbers. But this past year has been all about refinement.

What we’ve realized is this: you just can’t get those simple, elegant, effective strategies with highly leveraged ETFs. They’re too messy, too unpredictable. By cutting highly leveraged ETFs out of your strategy portfolio, you give your Meta a better shot at locking onto a GREAT strategy—not one that’s just “okay” or, worse, dangerously over-fit to past data.

It’s all about odds. You want to give yourself the best possible chance to succeed. Leveraged ETFs are flashy, but they’re not what you need for consistency and simplicity. Toss them.

Let your Meta pick winners, not pretenders.

Scrutinize Complex Strategies

Look closely at any strategy with a complex rule set.

Even if it’s passed the Minesweeper test before, don’t just trust it.

A strategy might work for a while, look like a solid player, but over time it drifts out of sync.

Complex strategies are the worst offenders—they’re the ones that slip out of alignment when you’re not looking.

If you want to bulletproof your portfolio for 2025, it’s time to go back and remake any strategy with complex rules.

Regenerate those strategies with similar parameters and the same instrument a few times and pick the simplest one.

If you can’t find a simple rule set that isn’t over-fit to the past after a few tries, it’s time to move on to a new instrument. That’s exactly what we had to do with leveraged ETFs.

Simple wins. Simple is stable.

Simplify, and give yourself the best shot at consistent, profitable growth.

Use TAP Data for Superior Strategies

Let me be clear: you need to be using TAP data.

We’ve poured over $6 million into research and development, and there’s nothing out there that’s more predictive with machine learning than TAP data.

Period.

If your strategy isn’t using TAP data, you’re leaving money on the table.

It’s time to go back, remake any strategy that doesn’t incorporate TAP data, and start using the most powerful resource available.

Don’t settle for “good enough” when you could have the best.

TAP data is your edge—use it.

Use Monthly Switch for Cleaner, More Stable Meta Strategies

Here’s the straight talk: use the monthly switch instead of continuous.

The monthly switch feature is so much cleaner than the continuous switch.

You might sacrifice a tiny bit of potential gains, but in return, you get a whole lot of stability. And that stability? It means fewer surprises, fewer losses, and a smoother ride.

Stop chasing every little uptick and focus on the big picture.

Stability wins, and monthly switch gives you just that.

Finally…

Use Inverse Funds for Simplicity and Flexibility

Let’s talk about inverse funds.

Use them as much as possible.

Now, this might not make your individual strategies any simpler, but it makes your Metas a whole lot cleaner.

With inverse funds, you can profit whether the market’s going up or down—no need to create separate strategies for bull and bear markets.

That means you can cut your strategy count in half, giving your Meta fewer choices but better ones.

And that’s exactly how you maximize the odds of your Meta picking a winning strategy every single time.

These are the major rules for killing it in 2025.

Keep it simple, keep it profitable, and let inverse funds do the heavy lifting.
