I have a situation where a player chooses the Trader because it has 5 coins even though he has nothing to sell in the trading house. Can he do it?

Taken from the rules:

Implementing the action of a character is voluntary (exception: Captain)

Note: You can still choose Captain if you have no goods, the exception just means that if you pull Captain and have goods, you have to ship.

    this does not mean that you can't pick captain if you have no good

    Just to clarify even further, the other players get a chance to take the action of the role you choose, even if you elect not to.

Definitely

Choosing a role merely for it's privilege is a perfectly valid move. It may not always be wise to choose a role you cannot fully take advantage of but if you are really short on cash such a trade off may be warranted...

    as an addendum: This is also a good way to screw with your opponents.
