Empowering Colorblind Traders: Algo Forest’s Mission for Inclusive Trading

Visual Impairment and Color Blindness: A Growing Concern

The Global Vision Care Market is expected to grow from $71.4 billion in 2022 to a projected $113.8 billion by 2032, growing at a 5% CAGR. This rising demand reflects a global trend: vision impairments—including color blindness—are becoming more common due to aging populations, increased screen exposure, and greater awareness. The fact is 350,000,000 people worldwide are color blind and that makes about the same amount as the entire population of the United States. It is so common that in 2025, every 1 in 12 men are color blind and 1 in 200 women are color blind.

This trend reinforces the urgent need for inclusive solutions in fields like financial technology, where visibility and clarity can make or break decisions.

Challenges for Colorblind Traders: Why Traditional Platforms Fail

In most trading platforms, visual indicators rely heavily on color—often red for sell signals and green for buy signals. For colorblind traders, these distinctions can blur or disappear entirely.

Here’s a visual comparison:

People with Achromatopsia see the world in black, white, and gray. This severely impacts their ability to distinguish between traditional trading signals, which are heavily reliant on color.

In fast-paced trading scenarios, this may result in:

• Misreading buy / sell indicators
• Hesitation during critical decision-making moments
• Financial losses due to misinterpretation

This stark visual challenge highlights the urgency of customizable trading tools so all traders, regardless of their visual capacity, can operate with confidence.
