Team & Advisors
Meet the team behind DeanTrader! We are a small, dedicated group of experts with a shared passion for the digital assets space. Together we bring deep expertise in swing algorithmic trading, fintech innovation, and regulatory compliance to create a cutting-edge investment vehicle to empower investors of all levels.
Dr. Daniel 'Dean' Frank Babik
Being the mastermind behind the swing algos and market indicators, Dean is responsible for the technical trading aspect of DeanTrader. He studied physics and received his Dr. rer. nat. (equivalent to a PhD) in quantum physics from the University of Bonn, Germany, in 2021. Back in 2017, during the time of his studies, he started diving into cryptocurrencies, and finally, after the devastating bear market of 2018, began to look into the possibility of profitable trading done solely based on calculations – a regime he was much more familiar and comfortable with than pure market speculation. After some first breakthroughs in 2019, and the interest from friends & colleagues, DeanTrader was officially formed in 2020. Several huge advancements on the swing algo system and a deepened understanding of market cycle & liquidity theory lead to the strong foundation we are now residing on.
