About Marlin
Financial intelligence, not trading signals.
Marlin is an independent research platform that turns complex market data into clear intelligence for Forex, Gold, Oil and global markets — and helps you choose the tools, brokers and platforms that fit you, without hype or false promises.
Our mission
Most trading content is noise: signals, hype and promises of easy money. We built Marlin to be the opposite — a calm, analytical source that answers three questions for every market:
- 1. What is happening in the market?
- 2. Why is it happening?
- 3. Which tools can help you analyse it?
The "pick & shovel" approach
In a gold rush, the people who reliably profit are often the ones selling the tools. Marlin focuses on the infrastructure around trading — research, market intelligence, tool comparisons and broker reviews — rather than promising trading profits. We help you trade smarter, not gamble faster.

Where the information comes from
Official sources, cited and dated
Market and macro facts come from official sources such as central banks, statistical agencies, energy agencies and exchanges. Product facts come from each provider's own documentation. Facts are kept separate from analysis and opinion, and anything we cannot verify is marked VERIFY CURRENT DATA rather than guessed. Read the methodology.
