Everything is gambling even mutual funds. No pain no gain, no risk no returns. Without good strategies and planning even investing in GIC could lose money. You want to stay off Forex for a while to regain your thoughts, that's cool.

No matter where you go unless you don't invest ever for the rest of your life, you are going to face risk. It's how you manage it that matters.
