How to unlock the Day-or-Night Trader achievement in Hades - Definitive Guide
The Wretched Broker is an NPC in the House of Hades's lounge area who offers repeatable trades for a number of collectable resources from Zagreus. The broker also offers a limited deal following each run. Each limited deal may only be traded once, and allows trading Darkness in addition to other rewards.
To earn this achievement, you must make 20 trades with this NPC. The achievement didn't pop until I entered the next room (Zag's bedroom).

It didn't popped for me. The problem was the "Quick resume". Close the game completely (kill process), restart the game and load your save. It popped for me. Hope it will for you

Might also be worth mentioning you have to unlock the Lounge via the House Contractor, since it isn't available right away.
Leaving the room after making all of the purchases is indeed the trigger for the achievement to unlock, so if anyone is idling on the store waiting, you have to go to a different room. (A side effect of this is the game saves, so you can't just do a bunch of trades you don't want to unlock it and then quit to dashboard to undo them.)

The Wretched Broker is the only store in the game, located within the Lounge. It's not available until you unlock the Lounge, which will come after you've attempted a few runs (success doesn't matter). As the gold coins (called Charon's Obols) in the game are only used in-runs and do not return with you, it's a trading system using the collectibles (Darkness, Gemstones, Keys, Diamonds, etc) rather than purchasing with money. He has a list of permanent offers as well as a Limited-Time Offer which is a one-time deal and changes every time you do a run and return to the House. For this trophy all you have to do is complete 20 trades with him and it'll pop.
TIP: Do not waste your Nectars by trading them for Diamonds. You need more Nectars than Diamonds, especially for the Platinum, and you'll have more than enough opportunities to earn Diamonds. Personally, aside from good Limited-Time deals, I don't suggest using the Broker often, especially in the beginning, unless you need something immediately. It's generally not worth it.
His permanent, repeatable trades are:
- Buy 1 Chthonic Key for 10 Gemstones
- Buy 1 Nectar for 10 Chthonic Keys
- Buy 1 Diamond for 10 Nectars
- Buy 1 Ambrosia for 10 Diamonds
- Buy 1 Titan Blood for 1 Ambrosia
