What licenses do you need to take to trade commodities for a bank or energy firm?

Say you wanted to apply for analyst position to be a Commodities trader at Morgan Stanley or a trader at BP/Shell, what FINRA or other licenses do you need to obtain? Is it wise to obtain them before applying? Can you or do you need to be sponsored?

 

Series 3. You don't need to be sponsored. I think it's like 125 for the test. I just took it a few months ago. It's not too hard, but if you don't score higher than 70% on the regulations you fail regardless of what you get on the rest of it.
