I was wondering the same. How hard is it to go from a programmer to a trader in a bank?

Exactly. I am not even a drug abuser, never even smoked in my life :) and why the trader's job is not outsourced to someone in indian and china yet ? looks like a very "protected" profession to me.
Why be a trader in a bank? Lease a commodities seat and trade for your own account. How hard could it be?
I'd rather be trading on someone else's money :) My question is about how to get foot into the door as a trader.
