Dennis Daniel
Founder & Architect, SEE~FSM™
Dennis W. Daniel brings over four decades of leadership in information technology, consulting, and organizational transformation to the world of trading. As the Founder and Architect of SEE~FSM™ (Signal. Execute. Exit.), Dennis has fused his expertise in systems design with his passion for helping retail traders find structure in the chaos of the markets.
Drawing from a career leading enterprise IT strategy across Fortune 500 companies, Dennis developed SEE~FSM as a disciplined, visual framework for decision clarity. His method is built on the principle that trading success is not about prediction, but about process—knowing when to act, when to wait, and when to step aside. The SEE~FSM platform embodies this philosophy with its tiered structure, intuitive signals, and AI-enhanced coaching support.
Beyond technology, Dennis is a certified leadership coach and educator, trained by organizations including the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team and Franklin Covey. He integrates these disciplines into SEE~FSM, emphasizing not only technical skill but also trader mindset, risk discipline, and behavioral growth.
As Executive Director of Square Circle Consulting, Dennis continues to mentor leaders, entrepreneurs, and traders, guiding them toward sustainable performance through clarity and structure. His vision for SEE~FSM is simple: empower everyday traders with the same disciplined processes once reserved for institutional desks—delivered in a way that teaches, not mystifies.
“Clarity over chaos. Structure over hype. That’s SEE~FSM.”
