Intra-day momentum strategies

Hello,Can anyone suggest some articles on high-frequency (say 30 seconds to 2 min) trading strategies based on momentum? I've been trading mean-reversion and found a wealth of articles the subject, but I'm coming up short when it comes to momentum strategies. Thanks!

Cointegration beyond pairs

Can anyone provide suggestions or references on how to build a basket of stocks using ADF? Say you have three stocks, (A, B, C). Would you average the ADF of A:B, B:C, A:C to get an overall number?
