  • Love Trader Merlín!

    I’ve been trading for years and came across Merlín as an OTA student. I’m sad that he is no longer there, but grateful I found his show! He knows his stuff and can explain complex theories and strategies well. And with humor! By the end of my trading day I need a good laugh! Thank you for all you do Merlin! ☺️💜

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bitcoin: Is This The Bottom? - 03/04/26
Q: Given today's move in Bitcoin, is this the bottom?
The host remains cautiously bullish for a short-term bounce but sees the downtrend as not yet broken, expecting more downside risk and a possible challenge back toward the prior resistance if momentum reverses.
Trading Week Wrap Up! - 03/06/26
Q: Would you be able to talk about the best way to handle taxes as a trader?
The host explains that he is not a CPA, recommends consulting a tax professional, and discusses different business structures (LLC, S-Corp, trader status) as options to optimize deductions and write-offs, with emphasis on compliance and avoiding red flags.
Dollar Cost Averaging for the Long Haul? - 03/06/26
Q: Does dollar cost averaging reduce the risk?
It reduces certain timing and price fluctuation risks, but it does not eliminate overall risk; it helps avoid trying to time the market, while still leaving room for other risk management approaches like selective buying during dips.
Is China Abandoning U.S. Treasuries? - 02/19/26
Q: What impact does this have on the dollar?
Several factors are impacting this, with interest rates being the most significant. As demand for Treasuries declines, interest rates may rise, initially seeming negative for the dollar but could ultimately support its strength if yields attract more buyers.
Trading Q&A with TraderMerlin - 02/18/26
Q: How do institutions think differently about risk than retail traders?
Institutions have specific rules, better risk management, and advantages, such as ability to see order flow and collusion among themselves.
