My winning algos took a while to research, longer to automate, and often lost alpha quickly.

Chan provides example implementations in Matlab to help readers get started.http://www.amazon.com/Quantitative-Trading-Build-Algorithmic...
Chan's blog is informative as well,

Sounds like just an intro. Some of the other books Amazon recommends on that page might be worth checking out too.

I didn't find I learned or enjoyed High-Frequency trading that much though.
