I use the name Reforge Institute for a reason. Its not branding. It’s a constraint.
Most bad trades don’t come from bad ideas.
They come from moments where discipline quietly weakens — after a good day, boredom, or being right too early
When a plan turns into a prayer, structure matters more than conviction
i use this name to create distance between impulse and action.
calling it an institute changes how i show up. it’s the same as wearing a suit. you don’t suddenly become smarter but certain behaviors stop feeling appropriate.
The core idea is simple: the part of the brain that wants action, excitement and stories is not the part that should be making decisions under uncertainty.
This way of thinking is influenced by behavioral psychology (Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow is a good starting point). If a framework prevents even one bad trade, it’s doing its job.
