Market Risk to trading

Helloooooo people! 

Any tips on how I can transition from Middle Office Market Risk to a Front Office Trading role

Would doing the CFA help? Should I consider applying for Trading Graduate Schemes? 

I did come across a few other threads, but those seem relatively outdated. 

Happy to discuss :D
