Introduction
TradingM1.com (hereinafter “the Site” or “TradingM1”) is committed to providing equal access to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We recognize the importance of accessibility and strive to comply with international and local standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We believe that by creating an inclusive digital environment, everyone can fully benefit from our trading platform, charting tools, and educational resources.
This statement outlines our commitment to accessibility, current compliance status, supported features, and how to report issues. If you encounter any barriers while using our site, please contact us.
Our Commitment
TradingM1 is dedicated to:
- Inclusive Design: Incorporating accessibility principles from the earliest stages of product development to ensure new features are user-friendly for all.
- Continuous Improvement: Regularly auditing and testing the site to identify and resolve potential accessibility issues.
- User Feedback: Actively seeking input from users with disabilities and their advocates to guide our enhancements.
- Compliance Standards: Aiming to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, while considering relevant regulations such as Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the European Standard EN 301 549.
We acknowledge that accessibility is an ongoing journey, and we welcome your feedback to help us achieve these goals.
Current Compliance Status
TradingM1 has undergone internal accessibility audits to evaluate our compliance level. Below is a summary of key findings:
| WCAG 2.1 AA Criterion | Compliance Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1 Text Alternatives (Non-text Content) | Partial Compliance | Most images and charts include alt text, but complex charts are under optimization. |
| 1.3 Adaptable | Compliant | Content is structured with proper HTML semantic elements, supporting screen readers. |
| 1.4 Distinguishable | Compliant | Color contrast meets 4.5:1 ratio; text is resizable. |
| 2.1 Keyboard Accessible | Partial Compliance | All core navigation supports keyboard use, but some advanced interactive tools require further testing. |
| 2.4 Navigable | Compliant | Clear headings, link purposes, and focus indicators. |
| 3.1 Readable | Compliant | Page language is explicitly declared; multi-language switching is supported. |
| 4.1 Compatible | Compliant | Code validates with major accessibility tools (e.g., WAVE and axe). |
Overall, our site achieves compliance with 80% of WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. We are actively addressing remaining issues, with full compliance targeted for Q1 2026.
