thanxs guys..
@cans since I am in banking and specifically into exposures and risks ,i will go for FRM.Also FRM is a single level exam I would be able to finish most part of it before my MBA starts. though side by side I am doing Derivatives module(NSE) and just a overview of CFA.

Are you saying about the currency derivatives, @seekingperfection :) That is something related to currency rate market, to understand their fluctuations and risk management and stuffs right?

Derivatives can be on currency,commodity products or stocks
