Does anyone know where to find reliable intra-day trading strategies?

Simple question here. I'm looking to backtest intra-day trading strategies, and so far, the only strategies I found that are able to be backtested objectively as opposed to "watch the charts" handwaving are strategies that function on daily-frequency data.

Since I'm looking to learn about the intra-day trading environment, I wonder if anyone knows of a source for decent intra-day trading strategies that one can write a backtest for.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Illya,

This is the most extensive list on Quantopian (as far as I know):

I do not know how many (if any) of the strategies in the list would be categorized as intra-day.

Hi Ilya,

Here is also a link of the most popular strategies on Quantopian. I'm not sure how many are intra-day, but I thought it might be of interest to you.
