Physical Commodity Trading (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?
