Why I am dropping InTrade from the Midas Oracle coverage of the prediction markets

The first chart is from InTrade “v1″ and the second chart is from InTrade “v2″.

Look how ugly the first chart is.

My demands:

  1. The v1 charts should as good as the v2 charts.
  2. It should possible to embed a chart without the need to delete the returns at the end of each code line. (NewsFutures is exemplary for this.)
  3. It should possible to hot-link to the InTrade advanced charts.
  4. Generally, there should be more consideration for prediction market journalism in InTrade’s senior management.

Unless my demands are not satisfied, the 1,600 daily readers of Midas Oracle (600 visitors on the Web + 1,000 feed subscribers) won’t hear anymore about InTrade Ireland. I’m fed up.
