Enigma Cadence

Three Losses, Two Winners, Restart

The FlowMaster™ Enigma Cadence strategy focuses on tracking 2 or 3 consecutive failed Enigmas before initiating the first trade on the next Enigma, depending on which session you are trading. This tactic is intended to take advantage of the high probability success rate of the Enigma.

Track the first three failed Enigma's before initiating your series of five trades, thus emphasizing the importance of cadence in this trading strategy.

Morning vs Afternoon Session Enigma Cadence

Morning Session: 2 Enigmas

For the Enigma Cadence strategy during the morning session, Vinny E. Mini likes to wait through a sequence of 2 failed Enigmas before starting a series of 5 trades. The objective is to get 2 winning Enigmas for the first 2 trades of your 5 trade session, and then restart the cadence, waiting for another 2 failed Enigmas before continuing the rest of your 5 trades.

Morning Enigma Cadence Strategy guideline:

  • Wait through 2 failed Enigmas in a row

  • Start the 5 trades series on only the next 2 Enigmas (trades #1 & #2)

  • Wait for another 2 failed Enigmas in a row

  • Consider taking the next 2 Enigmas (trades #3 & #4)

  • Wait for another 2 failed Enigmas in a row

  • Consider taking the next 2 Enigmas (trade #5 and then #6 bonus if your trades have been winners).

It can be rare to find more than 2 failing Enigmas in a row in the morning session but it is still a possibility.

Afternoon Session: 3 Enigmas

For the Enigma Cadence strategy during the morning session, Vinny E. Mini likes to wait through a sequence of 3 failed Enigmas before starting a series of 5 trades. The objective is to get 2 winning Enigmas for the first 2 trades of your 5 trade session, and then restart the cadence, waiting for another 3 failed Enigmas before continuing the rest of your 5 trades.

Afternoon Enigma Cadence Strategy guideline:

  • Wait through 3 failed Enigmas in a row

  • Start the 5 trades series on only the next 2 Enigmas (trades #1 & #2)

  • Wait for another 3 failed Enigmas in a row

  • Consider taking the next 2 Enigmas (trades #3 & #4)

  • Wait for another 3 failed Enigmas in a row

  • Consider taking the next 2 Enigmas (trade #5 and then #6 bonus if your trades have been winners).

It can be rare to find more than three failing Enigmas in a row in the afternoon sessions but anything can happen.

Here is an example where we have 3 failed Enigmas circled in red (indicating losses), presenting a clear opportunity to initiate your series of 5 trades. This is followed by 4 winners circled in green (indicating wins) and 1 loss.

Flipper

Two opposing colored Enigmas back to back close and together is considered 1 failed Enigma in the sequence and it is called a "Flipper."

Here is another similar example where the first three Enigmas failed, triggering a potential start to a five trade sequence/session. The subsequent two successful Enigmas are followed buy a red and green Enigma close together and back to back (big red circle), making it a single "failed" Enigma in the Enigma Cadence count sequence.

Enigma Cadence Examples

Here is a live chart example where the first three Enigmas have failed (circled red - indicating losses). This marks the start of your sequence of five trades, which includes two winners, one loss, and then two more winners here, resulting in four winners and one loss in your trade sequence.
Here is another live chart example where the first two Enigmas, circled in red (indicating losses), have failed, followed by a winner circled in green (indicating a win). The Enigma Cadence strategy requires three consecutive losing Enigmas before initiating a trade on the subsequent one.

WWCD

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner is the FlowMaster™ Enigma Cadence strategy, where we wait for three losing Enigmas to be counted. The goal is to start trading with potentially two consecutive winners.

If two winners are achieved, the session concludes, referring to it as "Two winners for a chicken dinner."

If two consecutive winners are achieved at the start of a series of five trades, it is referred to as a WWCD - Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, and the session concludes.

Just like everything else in trading, the Enigma Cadence strategy and WWCD is not a 100% fool proof strategy 100% of the time. The examples shown here are ideal examples for educational purposes only.

Proper trade management and position sizing are still critical elements to professional day trading.
