Andrew, I'm not sure that anyone will respond to your request - a lot of strategies lose their edge if they are widely adopted, so people are reluctant to share the very good ones.

Hopefully you will find this interesting, though. As we review algorithms for the hedge fund, we have found that a significant fraction of them are clones of algorithms shared here in the forums. The shared algorithms aren't winners themselves, but they are good templates that can be modified and adopted. For various reasons, these templates have a track record of resulting in high-quality cloned variations.
