your exam is in 3 weeks and you only ask now???start by pickin' up a derivatives book eg John Hull, Don Chance etc and start reading. trading strategies and option combos can be used in any market from fx to bonds to stocks to commodities etc. the real question should be when to employ which strategy...good luck...
