“most prediction market terminals are deck screenshots disguised as features”
A trader who ran ~10,000 automated trades through Polymarket dissects why most prediction market terminals fail: execution mirages, non-synthesizing research layers, and strategy tabs that are deck screenshots disguised as features. Lays out the baseline infrastructure real traders need and argues only two terminal types survive the next 24 months: institutional API rails and a trader-native terminal built by someone who has actually lived the workflow.
