Physical Commodity Trader (3.5 YOE)—> Equity Trader

Title pretty much sums it up. Looking to make a move from physical commodity trading to equity trading. I do not currently hold a series but we do participate in hedges for our clients. I have experience w/ back-to-back, long and short trades. Is it feasible to think that I would be able to market this experience to lateral into an equity trading role?

What commodities do you trade? One possible route to equity trading would be as a sector trader with expertise in the companies dealing with your commodities (for example if you do crude oil trading, then your familiarity with exploration, refining, transportation, pipeline companies might come in handy)

Are you just executing trades that someone is telling you to place or is it all discretionary/ making own bets? If you understand market structure it could be very doable.

I see companies (smaller and larger) that potentially can give me that but would it be worth it? I’m having a hard time finding out what opportunities/paths I can take and what amount of $ would be worth moving jobs for. Any insight is appreciated!
