Possible to make transition from commodities broker, to the trading side?

31 years old, been brokering commodities (ppr) for 9 years. Not really into the “brokering” side any more.

Curious what the easiest transition would be, if at all, to the trading side.

Thanks

Very much possible, currently interning at an inter-dealer broker firm- many of the brokers at my firms were traders early in their careers and then moved over to the brokerage side because they knew many traders and were able to build a client base. Probably much harder to be a long time broker and then move to the trading side
