Strategy Ideas

Hello,
Would you be able to recommend sources to obtain quality trading system ideas? I was interested in strategies relating to mean-reversion, however I'm open to other methods as well.

Thank you!

Gosh Adam, that is such a broad and basic question that it is almost impossible to answer. The only way to learn rule based trading is to code your own systems. Find out what "mean reversion " means to you and code something up. Take any other trading "idea" (trend following, seasonality, arbitrage, whatever ) and do like wise.

If you don't have any ideas buy a few books but don't buy rubbish (95% of trading books are rubbish written by non trading salesmen and marketers).My favourites used to be a book by Le Beau and Lucas (outdated), and anything by Perry Kaufman.
