The problem asking for advice on an open forum is how do you qualify the advice given? We have no idea who were are conversing with, and certainly have no idea if these people are qualified to give advice.
Like it or not, independent retail trading means your on your own, you make your own decisions, good or bad, you pay the consequence for your actions. This is the reason most will never make any real success of trading, because in virtually everything else in life we can look to blame someone/something else. In trading everything is your fault, good or bad. Want to blame technical issues? Well if you take trading seriously it should be factored into your plan, so that any freak day does not blow your account etc, the same goes for slippage, stop hunts, people always seem to want announce injustice.
There are some funny threads about at the moment, all based on the same thing though; no-one takes the responsibility of going it alone. One thread amassed lots of pages in no time at all ( I wont promote it, but you probably know the one). This thread was focused on one person making calls, so rather than the individuals concentrating on their own performance, they are wasting time trying to prove/disprove someone else's ability.
Focus on yourself and compare to no-one!
To prove a point, I have highlighted your comment about "expert" advice on developing a system;
So who are these experts, and how do you know they are experts? Why develop a system? What are the other alternatives? Have you actually gone into any of this?
Trading is more about developing yourself, than developing a Mickey Mouse system.
So maybe as a start, you would be better of listing 10 things you think you should do to improve the situation?
Do they have to be all about trading?

I would say good luck in your endeavors, but luck has nothing to do with it. Be precise about your goals and how you are going to achieve them (may well take a few months to get your head around it), and then begin from a fresh start.
But then again, I suppose I have just offered advice, so best ignore it:-0
