About Us

Meet the smart and handsome team behind ACubed Trading.

Andrew Swanscott

Automation & Business Development

Andrew started trading in 2004 and tried almost every trading style known to man in his early trading career, studying with top traders in Australia and internationally to discover trading strategies that work. He’s the founder of the Better System Trader podcast – the only podcast dedicated to systematic trading and the co-founder of algorithmic trading education company Better Trader Academy. Andrew lives in Melbourne, Australia, loves mountain-biking and trades the Futures markets in the USA and across Asia/Pacific.

Al Biddinger

Research & Testing

Al is a former Signal and Image Processing Engineer turned Orthopedic Surgeon. He began discretionary trading stocks over 30 years ago using Omega Research (now Tradestation) strategies. As both he and the electronic markets matured, Al switched to discretionary swing trading of commodities eventually recognizing the benefits of fully automated breakout and mean-reversion trading. Al is an avid Scuba Diver, and when he’s not kicking butt in the markets, he’s kicking butt as a Black Belt in Isshinryu.

Adam Sciannimanica

Operations & Strategy Leasing

Adam Sciannimanica is a firefighter from Wollongong, Australia who started out trading penny stocks before he discovered algorithmic trading. In 2018 he joined Better Trader Academy and committed to algorithmic breakout trading, growing from a 50k account to 1.2M+ in that time. When he’s not working on his trading you can find him in the ocean chasing waves, doing just about any and every ocean sport in existence and spending time with his family. His current obsession is hydrofoil and its many applications in the water.
